Gerade kam bei mir ein weiteres Retro-Päckchen an!

Originale Hüllen und Handbücher inkl. 3,5 + 5,25Zoll Disketten mit IBM DOS 3.30, ein OEM Set mit MS-DOS 3.30, sowie eine Startdiskette für einen IBM Model 30-286. Alles blitzsauber und praktisch wie neu. Die Datenträger sind perfekt lesbar. Gekostet hat mich das ganze Paket lediglich ca. 22€ mit Versand. Stammt angeblich aus einer alten Firmenauflösung.

Sowas nenn' ich ein "Schnäppchen"! 😎

I just discovered the amazing Evertop project by @cobble2stone @ericjenott! Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM, running DOS, Minix, and other old 1980s operating systems, including Windows up to version 3.0. Powered by a low-power microcontroller and an e-ink display, it can run for hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single charge, thanks to its built-in solar panel and extreme power-saving measures. It's loaded with built-in peripherals like a keyboard, PS/2 ports, graphics support, audio output, serial ports, USB, Ethernet, WiFi, and LoRA radio. Charging options include a solar panel, DC input, and micro USB. It features a detachable keyboard, optional hibernate, and power shutoff. Storage is via SD card, and it's powered by an Espressif ESP32 microcontroller. Compatibility includes almost all IBM PC/XT compatible DOS software from the 1980s and early 90s. There's also a minimal version, "Evertop Min," which reduces weight and cost by removing some features. I'd love to see a model with a Raspberry Pi Zero for more productivity-focused tasks. Let's see if someone is already working on something similar! #Evertop #RetroComputing #PortablePC #OpenSource #DIY #TechInnovation #Emulation #OffGridComputing #ESP32 #RaspberryPi #Minimalism #Productivity #EInk #solar #solarpanel #Typewriter

Noodling around with RISC-V emulation, writing it in Go.

Supporting the atomic extension should be doable using Go atomics, but to do it right and without resorting to unsafe, I'd have to represent memory as a slice of int32s and do bullshit to read/write anything smaller than that if I want to have any sort of ergonomics on the atomic usage.

(Assuming I wanna support more than one CPU/HART running concurrently.)

AmigaKit is now offering a CPU Boost Kit for the "A1200 NG" emulator solution for around 24 euros, which increases the performance of the board by up to 20 per cent by boosting the CPU from 1.5 GHz to 1.7 GHz. After activating the CPU boost option in the main menu, SysInfo reports around 300 MIPs (previously 250 MIPs) according to AmigaKit.
