| zxmpi | heats a home quick as you like | 11:59 |
| daftykins | winter gaming! | 12:27 |
| zxmpi | in summer divert the hot air to the kiddie pool to keep it warm at night | 12:36 |
| daftykins | cool video of Shelby (Tech Tangets on YouTube) cloning that early Philips CD drive "LMSI" controller card to use the earliest known one with a PC: https://youtu.be/0W1t2_EJG9w | 12:37 |
| daftykins | Tangents* too | 12:37 |
| zxmpi | that's a use of twitch i never considered before. what's next, how to defuse a russian nuclear weapon, live on twitch :-P | 12:48 |
| daftykins | :) | 12:48 |
| daftykins | he's pretty brave to do stuff live, so many cooks helping to spoil the broth... i corrected a switch he was using on a program the other day 'cause he was so distracted he missed the man page line stating it was the wrong thing | 12:49 |
| zxmpi | it was about the same level of excitement when you got cd-rom working back then too :-D | 13:02 |
| daftykins | hehehe | 13:04 |
| zxmpi | an original cd rom, external. you'd be lucky to 150kbs over it's own wacky serial jobbie | 13:06 |
| daftykins | yep! he's done some fun speed testing, comparing DOS to Windows | 13:07 |
| zxmpi | i liked dos. still have a few dos apps around now. but looking at getting a cp/m system for offline distraction free work | 13:08 |
| davef | daftykins: I saw the video, dude cloned a ISA card from photos. | 13:32 |
| daftykins | yeah :D | 13:33 |
| daftykins | i was on the livestream a little after the clip | 13:33 |
| zxmpi | well as he said the size of the components was huge :-) | 14:02 |
| davef | Pimp my BBC Micro .. https://github.com/dekuNukem/RGBeeb/blob/master/README.md | 14:36 |
| zxmpi | is it a bbc micro without the iconic keyboard? | 14:36 |
| davef | it has a modern keyboard | 14:37 |
| zxmpi | that's what i mean | 14:37 |
| zxmpi | kinda like the speccy keyboard, it was awful, inspired a 1000 jokes and yet it was a solid part of the spectrum experience | 14:38 |
| * zxmpi wonders how big a hard drive you'd need to have every game and bit of software for all bbc archives | 14:44 | |
| daftykins | having a mate at archive.org might help ;) | 14:45 |
| zxmpi | you're just making an offline backup | 14:49 |
| davef | But archive.org is the backup | 20:09 |
