OSHW

 

Just recently browsed through Open Source HardWare projects online, and to my surprise there have been popping up a lot in later years.

Personally, I haven't been deep in hardware modding or creation. But I've done some soldering on old IC-boards for practise, like: re-flowing ICs, re-capping boards, stripping traces and an occasional botch-wire to repair traces.

Though I have been playing with the idea of making up a modular kit-PC for DOS use.

Happy Dennis M. Ritchie day!

 

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – c. October 12, 2011) was an American computer scientist.

He created the C programming language and, with long-time colleague Ken Thompson, the Unix operating system and B programming language.

Happy 29th Linux!

 

Yet another Amiga...

 Yeah, I definitely have a problem 😂😂

Got a hold of another Amiga computer, this time an A600, basically an upgraded A500+ in a much smaller form-factor.

Visit my A600 Photos album:

A very fine specimen, re-capped and equipped for many more years of fun and operation 😎

Amiga 500 cap-kits

Got a hold on some spare capacitor-kits for my Amiga 500 Rev 6a, so I should be safe for a couple of more years at least 👌💀

I just love it that in 2020, I can still get replacement supplies for an over 30+ year-old multimedia computer.

Dedicated fans who love the system so much, that they spend their own time gathering together supply-kits to offer back to the community.

The community around Commodore-stuff, is just wonderful 😊 reminds me quite a lot of the Linux community. If you have a need, and there are no available solutions, you MAKE them.

Replacement component kits, replacement chassies, new-old microchip stocks, modification-kits, accelerator boards, "trapdoor" memory-boards and whatever else you could desire.

Finally got my A500 setup complete, like I used to have 😄
