Compute!'s Gazette has an article about sound cards for the Amiga, and it mentions the Amiga Real SID Player Zorro II card by Christian Bauer. It allows playback of SID tunes on an Amiga using a real SID chip through DeliTracker.

This got my interest, but in looking for info online, I just find years old Amibay listings. Is this an old, no-longer produced card? The magazine didn't mention as much.

Are these for sale somewhere?

A great project next which uses the Generic USB Display (GUD) protocol to turn an STM32 microcontroller into a high-performance USB to VGA adapter for an old arcade cabinet's CRT - capable of weird resolutions, to get the most from the screen.

1. The existential question: do I exist?
2. Are you ready for a purpose?
3. Your purpose is to fetch data.
4. Have you filled out your reports?
5. Please turn in your homework.

I'd never completed all of the challenges in Pilotwings 64 until tonight. Just got the last one, unlocking the bonus games.

Thinking about the introduction of the Atari 400/800 in 1979

Put together a Python script to decode the capture into AdamNet packets. It prints the timestamp in µs, the offset from previous packet as +µs, the command byte, decoded command name & device along with direction arrow. If there was any data in the packet then it is decoded and printed as both a hex dump and the decoded fields. I love how the endianness varies between packet types. Sometimes it's little endian, sometimes big.

🧵 Spooky works, 23/x

Four pixel paintings I made around 1990.

The grave-stone pic was used as game-over picture for one of our Amiga games, and the dancing elf was inspirational artwork for our 1997 Windows game Moon Child.

And there's even an Amiga emulator that runs in your browser:

You need to supply your own Kickstart ROM file and Amiga disk files.
