Feel free to be technical with me -- I have The Google and Wiki and the ability to ask questions if needed ;) Although my background is mostly hardware at the wires-and-chips level, and rooted somewhat in chips from the mid-Seventies through about the mid- to late Eighties, I'm always interested in hearing about code and what it does how, because that's a real weak point of mine -- I have basically useless coding knowledge. (remember MS QuickBASIC PDS 7.1...? Yeah, that. Sadly.) I'd love to take that and make it useful... the more I soak up, the more I know. As for CRTs and other quaint-sounding equipment -- I'm quite familiar with retro tech. I'll keep it short by mentioning simply that I have two Commodore 64s I keep meaning to fix -- memory issues, the DRAMs in those are known to get a bit addled after a while -- and I'm working on building a Signetics 2650 based homebrew board as well. The 2650, by the way, is an interesting CPU that I don't think got its due attention -- not much was done with it. A pity, since it's got on-chip serial! (...and, lucky for me, it got used as a pinball game controller a little -- the official hobbyist's ROM image from Signetics, PIPBUG it was called, still exists if you look for it, because of that. It's actually Googleable!) I could say oh so much more but that's best kept off the comment thread as (a) I get tremendously long-winded with this stuff and (b) it's off-topic anyways. If you're interested... you have my email. (I'd love to get some schematic checking done on that 2650 homebrew ;) )</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
