![Two PicoIDE devices stacked on top of each other. The top one has a status screen showing a top bar with “cdrom” and “[3/5]”, large text in the middle showing “MechWarrior 2.cu” and a bottom line showing that it’s playing audio tracks](https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/115/647/142/650/316/612/original/4f4a22bcc30e461a.jpeg)

Why am I taking a selfie in front of a random office building? This is a former Maxtor office and where several versions of the ATA/ATAPI spec were written. While working on #PicoIDE I noticed that the work address of the editor was literally right next door to where I work so I made a pilgrimage!
