Started on my keyboard mounting brackets for the Tandy 1500HD project. Nothing too crazy here - each bracket has two mounting points on the original Tandy chassis, and three posts that match up to screw holes on the keyboard PCB. The one on the right side is just about perfect, needs to have the posts offset a bit to line the keyboard up side-to-side. The bracket for the left side needs to have a little section scooped out to clear another threaded insert on the Tandy housing. Luckily these only take 30 minutes to print (for the pair).

I'll do one more bracket for the center of the keyboard as well, then start working on the bezel that will seal the gap between the keyboard and the Tandy housing!

Closeup of a bracket designed to hold a keyboard PCB in place within the shell of an older Tandy 1500HD laptop. The black PLA plastic blends nicely with the black Tandy's original shell color, but nobody will see this under the keyboard anyway.Closeup of the two brackets which will hold the keyboard in place on my Tandy restomod project. They're about 4" long, with two holes each (to allow the brackets to mount to the Tandy shell) and three posts each (to mount the keyboard to the brackets).

Bin beim #retrocomputer Treff in #Hannover. Dort ist zufällig auch der Programmierer der "Boom" auf dem #C64 erweitert hat - ein Spiel welches vor kurzem wieder neu auf dem #C64 herausgekommen ist!

#TodayInHistory 1946 – ENIAC, the first electronic general-purpose #Computer is formally dedicated at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

It was Turing-complete and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through #programming

having cost $487,000 (equivalent to $7,000,000 in 2024), and called a "Giant Brain" by the press. It had a speed on the order of one thousand times faster than that of electro-mechanical machines.

Is it a sin to break this seal, or is it a liberation of the machine?

It's the original Box of the mainboard, but a bit in a bad shape. looks like it was not always in a dry environment.
But beside that, everything inside looks fantastic. Every single piece is originally sealed. :-O This was a real steal for just 32€

It's a Micronics Spitfire EX (09-00302-XX) Dual SLOT 1 Mainboard from 1997.

Amigas Portables: El A600 de GiuSimoo89 con pantalla abatible.

Seguimos disfrutando de la inagotable creatividad de la escena, y esta vez el protagonista es el canal GiuSimoo89, cuyo autor detalla con todo lujo de detalles el complejo proceso técnico para transformar un Amiga 600 clásico en un dispositivo portátil plenamente funcional. No se trata solo de encajar piezas, sino de un ejercicio de ingeniería y respeto por el hardware original.

El proyecto destaca por la integración de una pantalla de portátil recuperada, gestionada mediante un módulo RGB2HDMI junto a una Raspberry Pi Zero, logrando así una señal de vídeo digital limpia y estable. Para garantizar esa estabilidad, el creador diseña y suelda PCBs personalizados, además de fabricar soportes específicos mediante impresión 3D, cuidando que todo encaje sin romper la estética icónica de la carcasa original del A600.

La modificación se completa con mejoras muy interesantes: sistema de audio amplificado, doble arranque de ROM y la posibilidad de conectar fuentes de vídeo externas, lo que multiplica la versatilidad del conjunto. Seguimos conociendo nuevas formas, de distintos usuarios, para hacer portables nuestros Amiga. Anteriormente ya publicamos los interesantes proyectos de Ms Mad Lemon y Slince, que integraban fuentes de alimentación internas, entre otras proezas. Quizás,  este sea el sueño húmedo que muchos tuvimos en tiempos pasados (y no tan pasados).
