Charlie BaloghSome think about lighting a terrible fire, and then some prefer igniting an entire inferno. 🔥<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amiga</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mc68060" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mc68060</a>

Wesley MooreI got a working toolchain. Now I just need one of the silver USB GraphLink cables to be able to transfer software to it.

Charlie BaloghI became the custodian of this Mac IIcx early October last year. It was in the batch that had the Apple IIe in it, among other machines. It sports a Motorola 68030 CPU at 16Mhz and a whopping 4MB of RAM.The mainboard suffered some corrosion from capacitor leakage, but thanks to friends at berlinCreators e.V., it is now back to life. Everything minus the soft power-off works. But we'll get there, eventually.It happily boots to MacOS 7.5.5 from a SCSI2SD v5.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mac</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a>

DanielUnder the title link you will find a modern web application for writing, executing and learning M68K assembler code, which uses the SvelteKit framework and the Rust programming language. The tool now supports not only 68k, but also MIPS architecture:<a href="https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2025-02-00069-EN.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2025-02-00069-EN.html</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amiga</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AmigaNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmigaNews</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/assembler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#assembler</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MIPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MIPS</a>

Laurent FRANCOISEEn cherchant quoi faire de mon mc68008 j'ai commencé à dessiner une platine pour aller autour. C'est encore très préliminaire. J'avais commencé avec des composants classiques et au final je me retrouve avec une majorité de composants CMS. Il y a un CPLD pour remplacer toute la petite logique (le gros avantage étant qu'en cas d'erreur il suffit de corriger le fichier Verilog, beaucoup plus rapide que de refaire un PCB). Pour l'instant ce n'est qu'un dessin <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kicad</a> mais si je me lance là dedans ça ferait une bonne carte pour <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/cpm68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cpm68k</a> ou <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/fuzix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fuzix</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a>

Dave SmithA plea for help with the Amiga, fs-uae and joysticks. I wrote a blogpost for detail but TL;DR is that I can't read my joystick in 68k assembler for reasons I don't understand.Any advice is welcome or boosts for reach. I would ask in <a href="https://eab.abime.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://eab.abime.net/</a> but my account hasn't been activated there yet :(<a href="https://blog.smithfamily.org.uk/posts/2025/02/nojoystick/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.smithfamily.org.uk/posts/2025/02/nojoystick/</a><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amiga</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a>

Dave SmithActually it's not going bad. There is a VSCode extension that packages compiler, linker and emulator so I'm now just brainlessly updating the code to more modern linkable standards whilst watching TV<a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amiga</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a>

Charlie BaloghYes, I know, I could have 3D printed something, but I really lack the space for a 3D printer, and I have too many tools I barely use anyway. Plus I don't have experience in designing these kind of things - although would be very interested, but not having a printer is kinda demotivating. This was just way faster and simpler - for now.On a related note and looking sharp - used the white-on-black labels to add some other matching labels here and there.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/x68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#x68000</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a>

Charlie BaloghStill wrapping up some small projects after the holidays. This time, I put the X68000 USB mouse adapter I built previously into a case.The small plastic box I bought for this is slightly too big, but I padded it with some foam I had at hand. Proper zip-tie engineering results in good enough stress reliefs. Add some white-on-black labels to make it look... SHARP. (Sorry...)Not too bad for a first try and it still works - the Arduino survived the surgery.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/x68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#x68000</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m68k</a>
