Happy 40th anniversary, Macintosh! I just tried getting mine out of its carrying bag but it has really sharp teeth and claws... #macintosh #catsofmastodon

#PicoGUS 2.0 is officially released! It's an ISA card that can emulate Gravis Ultrasound, Adlib, CMS, Tandy 3-voice, MPU-401 w/ Intelligent Mode, and gameport joysticks!
This new version is 100% factory assembled and ready to just plug and play.
And it's open hardware: all design files are available under CERN OHL v2 Permissive license, so if you want to make (or improve) your own you can!
Available at my Tindie Store: https://www.tindie.com/products/polpo/picogus-sound-card-emulator-for-isa-retro-pcs/

I just added USB joystick support to #PicoGUS. So now you can play your DOS games with a DualShock 4, as nature intended

The RP2040's timer doesn't offer sub-microsecond granularity, which is needed to emulate PC gameport. So I figured out a way to get the RP2040's PWM peripheral to act as a high-precision one-shot timer. It amazingly worked first time!

A certain very special ThinkPad came up on FB marketplace today and I just had to get it. The 701 with the butterfly keyboard has been on my "must have" list since forever!

@polpo Does it interact with the API directly? How does it handle all the JSON?

Posting my favorite computer in my collection: the red Sony HB-101 MSX. It’s utterly underpowered but just look at it! The color! The 80s futurism! The little joystick! The handle!
