Since this seems to be taking off within #FujiNet and it clearly has applications beyond for cross compiling software for 8/16 bit systems, I wanted to share it here. I've put together a #Docker container that has lots of assemblers, compilers, and disk tools. Just prefix your build commands and it does the work, without breaking ownership/permissions (common Docker problem). VS Code integration is being looked at now too.

Our Large Systems Gallery set up is still very much in progress, but if you visit this weekend we'd be happy to give you a sneak peek tour. In addition, you can see our progress on the KI10 restoration.

Dear Fediverse! Being German, I'm quite familiar with German computer magazines. But not with the UK and US world. What were the “professional level” computer magazines in ca. 1980-2010 which wrote about enterprise IT, Unix, supercomputers, hardware? I'm NOT (yet) interested in software engineering or programming languages and also not very much in Linux.
I already know BYTE magazine, Unix Review and several 8bit related magazines. What else? #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #techhistory

💸 eBay impulse control challenges 💸
Look, look at these. They're beautiful, they work, they could be mine! Yet like with all vintage window shopping that occurs on eBay when I'm in-between tasks or relaxing, I just have to remind myself that there are already plenty of unfinished projects in my purview, and to just finish something equally fun from the FIFO queue.
oooh but it's so difficult! 💝🎁

Managed to get a Commodore 64 AEA User port to TNC cable.
* Trying to find the manual or details
* Looking for an image of the original PackRatt Software for the Commodore 64 if possible?
Anyone in the Fediverse able to help? 😊 Thanks!

We're expanding our gallery space in August to set up a Thinking Machines: Connection Machine with an event to celebrate the 40th anniversary. Join as a BOOTSTRAP member to attend the preview and get a behind the scene peek at the CM2's HOST, a Symbolics 3670 LISP machine, as we restore and recover its *LISP (StarLISP) programming system.
More INIT HELLO fun at the System Source Computer Museum today!

We're in the process or lighting up our Thinking Machines CM-2 which uses a Symbolics 3670 LISP Machine as its programming front end. The CM-1 was introduced 40 years ago in 1985 and the CM-2 in 1987. While this CM-2 is a single quadrant, we plan to simulate a full CM-2 and have its iconic "deep thought" lights running. Here you can see our lamp panels displaying a clock. This work was done by Jeff Kaylin.
