The Dick Smith VZ200 is a cool little computer from 1983. I actually had one when I was a teenager, but my one was somehow pulled apart in the 80s, then packed in a box in a shed in Australia for some decades. When I recovered it later on, it had been used by rats […]

PiTubeDirect is a project that turns a Raspberry Pi into one of many different coprocessors for the BBC Micro. It also works on other Acorn 8 bit computers including the Electron, but you need extra hardware for that. I have a few old Raspberry Pi’s including a Raspberry Pi Zero that was not getting much […]
