This silicon strip detector was used in the NA50 experiment, a research effort at CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron that provided evidence for the existence of a new state of matter, the quark-gluon plasma. https://t.co/GwwPACKOEi

This Altair 8800 replicat just arrived this afternoon from Italy. Now, *this* is a thing of beauty ! It’s going to be fun ! #retrocomputing #altair8800 #altairmini

Fourth video online! This time, I'm exploring the Thomson 8bit computers history, restoring a MO5 computer, testing software and adding a SDDrive. #retrocomputing #thomson #mo5 #sdddrive https://t.co/b3puhrGaCv

Third video online ! This is the last part of a series on the Amstrad CPC 464. In this video, I fix a Quickshot II joystick and restore an AMX Mouse. #retrocomputing #amstrad #quickshot #amxmouse

Second video online ! This time, fixing a DDI-1 drive and playing with a DDI-5 (by Zaxon) #retrocomputing #amstrad

Still with the AI voice this time (though there is a glimpse of my actual voice somewhere in the video😅)

Hi,

The #PicoCPC is now able to emulate floppy from DSK on a CPC 464 :)

A merry retro-christmas to all of you !

A few days before Christmas, an early gift has arrived. My very first Thomson MO5 ! #retrocomputing #MO5

@DefenceForceOrg This is what ChatGPT produced for the 4th one (using this simple prompt "Draw a photo realistic picture from this pixel art")

@sebastien_bour @jmarc I’m preparing a blog post and video on it. Hopefully online next month. I’ll post the STL files top of course and details about previous

The 3D-printed case just arrived from PCBWay. So happy about what this NeXTStep on a Raspberry Pi5 projet is turning into ! #retrocomputing #nextstep #raspberrypi5 #3DPrinting #previous

@sebastien_bour The modified design of the back leaves access to the power switch of the raspberry pi 5 (and the SD card)

[Fred Bellaiche @FredBellaiche]

@jmarc @sebastien_bour Yes, it was actually quite simple, compiling from sources

[Fred Bellaiche @FredBellaiche]

@sebastien_bour Yes, I used Nina Richard incredible design (https://t.co/IGyM5jN6va) that I slightly modified in the back to fit a Raspberry Pi 5 and have easy access for cables

@Jezzer_UK @TheMagPi Up to now, I could successfully run NeXTStep 1.0, 2.2 and 3.3. OpenStep 4.x should run, but I haven’t yet tried. Performances are very decent on a Pi 5. A blog post and a YouTube video are on their way (waiting for a 3D printed NeXT Cube case to finish things up)
