For me retro Computing Hardware is like legacy PA Audio Hardware.

It stays in the past

I leave it where it is {which is way in the past} and I just work with the digital versions.

New resurrected versions of Retro Hardware have the same problems as the A4000T when I bought it. Production is low which makes the price extremely high and repairs even more expensive

I have multiple functioning SID chips so if I want to do a project I'll just get myself yap Raspberry Pi5 {I'll save for it} and I make a project where I generally the songs from an actual SID chip.

yap = yet another pie

@amoroso The first time I came across a Macintosh (which I had never heard of before) was at a computer camp in around 1985. I remember being fascinated with the GUI, the mouse, but most impressively, the little hard floppy disks that would auto eject! It felt worlds away from my Commodore VIC-20!

I still have my first Apple - a Mac SE FDHD from 1987!
