Computers

Computers are a thing I like. I collect old ones, I build new ones. I fix them up for fun. I use them for all sorts of stuff. If it wasn't for computers, I wouldn't be me.


Homebrew (Mine)

There's nothing complete yet, but the list of active projects goes as-follows:
CD-1802 - An Elf-ish built out of the '77 Byte magazine catalogs.
CD-6502 - A 6502 system also built out of the '77 Byte magazine catalogs.
MSX-PG - A modern Laserdisc "emulator" for Pioneer MSX1s like my PX-V7.
Pyuuta Sr. - A modernized Pyuuta Jr. with less DRAM, more MSX joystick connectors, and composite output.

The Pyuuta Sr. is almost complete, it just needs routed in KiCAD (I'm never the biggest fan of routing boards so I've really been putting it off). I'm going to try and have the homebrew systems "going" for any cons I do this year but I haven't properly started yet...


Incoming Systems

Last Updated: April 25th, 2024
I don't import nearly as many computers as I used to, but I'd like to get into the habit of writing about whatever makes it to me. At the moment, that includes:
PC-9821Xa13/K12 - I like finding, fixing, and upgrading cheap 9801/9821s. It's hard to turn down a nice Xa13 for only 3,000 yen!
MZ-80K2 - I have a MZ-80C but no MZ-80K. It should be neat to write about the difference in keyboard, it should also just make a nice convention machine.


Stuff I've Got

Wonder what random junk I've managed to get my hands on? This is the section for just that!
Click on a picture to view a page about that system. Some will be quite basic, others may contain things like accessories or homebrew projects!

Tips and Notes

I'll occasionally have a useful thought or want to parrot something that someone else said.
I'll try to do my best to throw all of that info here!
