Here are photos inside the TRS-80 RS-232 switcher (previously posted). C2 certainly needs some attention

Picked-up this beefy, oversized RS-232 switcher from the 80s that costs over $400 when adjusted for inflation!

Found a super top secret military transmission. Who better to decipher it than my green glowing Apple IIe from 1983? What could the message be?

Heyo, I'm new to Wafrn and a former Cohost user. I love retro computers and I may blog about it from time to time.

Why Wafrn? Most fedi stuff is too "fast" for my tastes. Even the Mastodon instance I'm signed onto has a 500 character limit, but I'm used to writing in-depth posts about my adventures with old devices or retro computers or whatever.

I may get the ball rolling by posting some of my older and newer write-ups on here, and test to see how I like this platform. I hope to meet new friends and stuff.

Here's an old photo I took of my 2004 laptop running NetBSD (Omoikane: 256 MB of RAM, no SSE2 instructions, etc).

See ya around.

(EDIT: just noticed the photo isn't showing up for some Mastodon users, I may have to take a different approach. Here's a similar photo of my laptop from my Neocities: https://jetsetruri.neocities.org/blog/2024-06-24_omoikane-001.jpg )

Powering the Apple //c with a 15v source and a bespoke USB-C power adapter.

This //c has been setup in more places than any other system I own. Here is the latest, atop a small shelf system in the Byte Cellar.
