RetroSessions: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

(7 dazwischenliegende Versionen von einem anderen Benutzer werden nicht angezeigt)

Zeile 7:

=== When? ===

We will hold the **next** RetroSession on '''''Friday, 2 November 2018'''''.

=== Where? ===

The RetroSessions are usually held in the WhateverLab, in a corner which we are now dubbing the 'RetroZone'. A semi-permanent installation in the RetroZone is currently set up for those who don't want to wait for the next session to get their fix - at the moment, the computer available for your hacking fun is a ZX Spectrum +3 machine, with a Light-gun accessory and a few disks full of moderately entertaining games (Try the LightGun disk, and also the Action Pack has GAUNTLET for those who know what that is..)

Feel free to play with the machine in the RetroZone, but try to keep it in operational condition for others - i.e. don't format the discs, or do anything else that would make it impossible for someone else to play with it.

We will occasionally swap out the RetroZone machine for others, so even if you can't attend a RetroSession, if you're interested in Retro- computing you may want to check in on the RetroZone for an update now and then.

=== What? ===

Zeile 43:

Zeile 56:

Anyone and everyone, interested in retro-grade computing, is invited to come to the next RetroSession - bring something with you, or enjoy a demo of what we've already got. That means YOU are invited to join the RetroSession squad!

=== Agenda for 21 September 2018 RetroSession ===

- torpor: The agenda for this RetroSession will be to get as many retro- machines up

and running for the session as possible - in my case specifically I will

bring along a recently aquired ZX Spectrum +3 system to boot up and explore:

http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/509/Sinclair-ZX-Spectrum-3/

This wonderful machine gives us a wide range of software toys to explore

and re-discover, and should hopefully be an easy system to get up and

running again.

Of course, we will also have machines from prior RetroSessions to play

with as well - the Oric Atmos system, Amstrad CPC6128, Amstrad NC10,

and so on .. and everyone is welcome to attend and explore these

machines, or even do something interesting with them in a modern context!

Adding a raspberry-Pi Zero or ESP8266 (MagicShifter?) to the NC10 would be

a nice project, for example - or getting the CPC6128 or ZX+3 machines on

the Internet: a delight!

~~We will hold~~ the **next** RetroSession on ~~'''''Friday, 21 September 2018'''''~~.

Or, better yet - maybe you’ve got your own Retro- system to bring along,

Boot up and show us the ropes? Maybe you’ve got an Amiga system with

Old Data on it too - anything and everything Retro- is welcome at these

sessions. Bring it!

*torpor: made Amstrad CPC6128-specific power harness, booted newly arrived CPC6128 hardware, fiddled with CP/M, rejoiced! Booted M4 board on newly working CPC6128, connected to the Internet, explored the M4 firmware.

*[[User:hop|hop]]:More PSP emulation shenanigans.

*~~MaK~~: presented working Schneider- CPC6128 variant, with hardware mods supporting HxC. Provided guided tour through large collection of interesting CPC6128-specific apps.

*MaV: presented working Schneider- CPC6128 variant, with hardware mods supporting HxC. Provided guided tour through large collection of interesting CPC6128-specific apps.

*torpor/~~MaK~~: attempted boot of SymbOS on both systems, with no such luck. Memory expansion/more RTFM required?
