Ian Scott :apple_inc: 🐙<p>In time for spooky season, here’s <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/X68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X68000</span></a> Castlevania (Akumajō Dracula) playing the title music through the cheapo Midiori clone I designed, plugged into my longcat slot breakout. Worked first try!</p>
Ian Scott :apple_inc: 🐙<p>I needed to create a breakout board for debugging and doing bus captures on the Sharp <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/X68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X68000</span></a>. It has to stick out of the card slot so it's longer than a normal board. Hence, longcat</p>
Ian Scott :apple_inc: 🐙<p>I'm working on an expansion card for the Sharp <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/X68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X68000</span></a> computer and the best technical reference for it is the book Outside X68000. It's in Japanese and while there's a site that has a translation, it's low res and doesn't show the English in the page context. After trying some translation tools the best result by far is Google Translate's image translation. It's tedious uploading every page image individually but the translation is very good. Here's the IO section: <a href="https://picog.us/docs/x68k/outside-x68000-translated/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">picog.us/docs/x68k/outside-x68</span><span class="invisible">000-translated/</span></a></p>
Ian Scott :apple_inc: 🐙<p>My first step in my <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/X68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X68000</span></a> journey is complete - got the X68000 Pro I got at VCFMW from <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mas.to/@thegirlg33k" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>thegirlg33k</span></a></span> to actually see and then boot from a <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@BlueSCSI" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BlueSCSI</span></a></span> V2. Next step, more RAM. I'll probably make a GALSPanic board for that, then do a redesign of the Midiori MIDI board to make it easier to manufacture. Then hopefully design an RP2350 based board!</p>
Charlie Balogh<p>So, this is how we should have started with the X68000 Master Disk - a Greaseweasel v4. After compiling FluxEngine for Mac, I managed to write that damned XDF finally!</p><p>Huge thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@hanshuebner" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hanshuebner</span></a></span> for the 5,25" drive, the HD disks, and the Greaseweazel itself!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/x68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>x68000</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>m68k</span></a></p>
Charlie Balogh<p>Who could write me a 1.2MB disk image onto a 5.25" physical disk in Berlin on short notice? Ideally today?</p><p>I can't seem to locate my HD 5.25" drive. 😞 I had one, but only one, and I lost track of it. It's in some box somewhere... Probably. Maybe in the basement, and getting something from there is a project in itself.</p><p>I think I need a Master Disk to be able to boot from a SCSI drive on my Sharp X68000.</p><p>Update: Seems this is now solved, thank you everyone!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/x68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>x68000</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>m68k</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
Charlie Balogh<p>I tried to salvage the harness from the old X68000 PSU, but the main power plug was heavily corroded and some of the pins inside broke apart as I tried to disassemble it for cleaning. This means no X68000 testing today. However I ordered a Noctua fan, and a few more things.</p><p>In other news, does anyone know what's this plug called, and if I can still get it? Technically I do not even need the plastic part, as that's salvageable, just some pins...</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/x68000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>x68000</span></a></p>
SpookWith the <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.m68k.church/tag/twittermigration" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TwitterMigration</a> going on, I guess it's as good as any to post a new <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.m68k.church/tag/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> (lost the old one when moving instances a few weeks ago) :bb_bubouch: <br><br>Hello!<br>Here's Spook, a retrocomputing tinkerer in my late twenties. I collect and fix all sorts of old things - computers, consoles, PDAs, audio equipment... but as my instance's name suggests, my main focus is on m68000-based machines, mainly <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.m68k.church/tag/amiga" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amiga</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.m68k.church/tag/x68000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#X68000</a>. <br>I have a trusty assistant and sidekick, Laser the rabbit, you'll see him a lot on my profile.<br><br>I'm also an Amiga demoscene coder at the Ghostown group :win3_control_panel: <br><br>When I'm bored with computers, I dabble in knitting and learning Japanese (with various degrees of success). <br><br>Welcome to the Fediverse, remember it's supposed to be fun and don't pay much attention to people posting walls of text about "what's the *correct* way to enjoy it".<br><br> Feel free to hit me up anytime~
