I built an Iomega ZIP100 parallel port emulator using the PIC32MZ EF Starter Kit. Disk images (up to 1GB) are stored on USB. Speed around 6-7KB/s on Book 8088. Tested on DOSBox/QEMU up to Windows XP. Demo: https://t.co/hAyJJjuTby . Read more: https://t.co/b1g1LB2O22
@RetroTechChris This is ToughDev the author of the build. Thanks for sharing my work! More details on the build, including protocol and hardware design can be found here: https://t.co/b1g1LB2O22
I picked up two Book 8088 units and ended up swapping CGA/VGA cards, breaking the CF slot, and booting DOS from USB via XTIDE BIOS. Classic retro tinkering. Read more: https://t.co/545k5F5eqN
Picked up several MM-9M 10″ B&W CRT monitors and couldn’t resist testing them with DVDs and DOS apps. Chroma dots, BNC inputs, pure retro vibes. Read more: https://t.co/t1g5egcTKF

I spent a weekend getting Internet access on a Pocket 386 using a $2 ESP8266 serial Wi-Fi adapter—ping, HTTP, and even text-mode browsing over DOS. Read more: https://t.co/kus0M8ZD2d
Exploring MSX-DOS and CP/M on the OneChipBook FPGA laptop: MSX2+, quirky DOS behavior, classic editors, and even WordStar running fine. Read more: https://t.co/GWtqUK63FZ

Does UPS ship parcels from Singapore to Vietnam via Shenzhen and then Seoul? Sounds like a waste of fuel. Scheduled to be delivered within 2 days. ETA is now N/A. Custom service is clueless. This is a joke to me. Tell me when I will get my parcel?

Super 8086 Box, my home-built PC XT emulator, improved from the original 8086 Tiny Plus by Jaybert Software, with Adlib, MPU-401, joystick and NE2000 support https://t.co/ZjLI2GYCNv
@MicrochipMakes Minh Danh here. Thanks for sharing my project! Audio is played via PWM and keyboard interface is through a single analog pin using a resistor ladder. Remote control is through TFMS5400. dsMP3 also records radio into WAV files. https://t.co/74DyY5ARGi
