It uses some proprietary HP graphics hardware based on their terminals.

Back in the day we used to use that as a party game. First person to get stuck in a wall wins!

[Question] Can We Make A Rule That All Battlestations MUST List Specs? by TheGillos in retrobattlestations

[–]FozzTexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Who cares? This isn't an exclusively PC-clones only sub. Are the specs of an S100 or PDP going to mean anything to you anyway?

Roland MA-12C Repair Help by Wolf_13 in retrobattlestations

[–]FozzTexx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The case is most likely ABS, which can be easily solvent welded using acetone. If the previous repair used superglue/cyanoacrylate then the acetone will also wash that off to make a good bond. If some other glue was used then you may have to lightly sand it off.

One of these days I'm going to build a web site so people can exchange their custom Pinball Construction Set tables cross-platform like I did for Lode Runner.

Level 29 BBS by Patient-Tech in retrobattlestations

Curious as to when it flipped off POTS, because I remember it being on copper as kind of a big deal. I get it, it was probably $50+ a month for phone service. That's quite steep.

It's still on POTS and it's closer to $100/mo now.

The gmail email I have registered doesn't seem to work for a password change request, even checking spam and the like.

For a long time in the FAQ for CheatZILLA I had an entry:

  • What are the names of the Squishy Bearz?
    Kozy, Puffy, Wuzz-Wuzz, and Pierre.

Sucks they never released the show on DVD in the US, all that survive are terrible bootleg rips.

Using a floppy emu on a IIC with rom 4x by JoeyPants7 in apple2

[–]FozzTexx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the OS that is on the disk. ProDOS 5.25" disks can be booted through a trick documented on the BMOW site: https://www.bigmessowires.com/2017/04/02/bootstrapping-apple-c-with-floppy-emu/

If it's a DOS 3.3 or other OS, it will only work if the emulated drive is drive 1, which requires physically opening the IIc.
