Einen Joystick selber bauen ist eigentlich ganz einfach. Man braucht als erstes eine Brotdose. #VCFe #VCFe25 #vintagecomputing

My Greaseweazel arrived today - in a conveniently sized cardboard box - which it was easy enough to mount it in.

Anyone know what happened to harkeofficial? Her youtube hasn't been updated in months, her tiktok is private and has no followers. Her instagram is gone.
I hope she is well but I doubt anything good has happened. I always assume stalker. 😬

Are you aware, that the very first Docker release already was 13 years ago, in March 2013? #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #docker

Hth does a Cumana set of dual 5.25" half-height drives weigh 5.8kg?
It's got two separate (small) transformers for some reason; did NEC make the drives out of depleted uranium?

Free topic for you #retrocomputing YouTubers, the Zoomed Video Port.
Didn’t find videos about it in my admittedly cursory search.

So I look through my pile of 8" floppies for @… thinking I'll have a few random ones to send him, and I find a motherload of Perq floppies!

Eek, opened my Series 7 model B up, assuming I'd just need to clean and do the RIFAs, but all the internal plastic is in a terrible shape - the board looks fine; just the plastic is terrible; pitted everywhere, and that side of the PSU!

Does anyone have any service manuals/schematics/etc forr NEC fd1055 (or fd1050/1053) 5.25" floppy drives?
I've got one that's giving a disk fault 18 - which I think is not reading a sector so could be anything from alignment upwards; but occasionally gives a drive fault 10 (index sensor??)
But then again it could be the beeb it's attached to; so hmm suggestions welcome.
