Am I the first person ever to run a Bourne shell on a Commodore 64 I wonder. A 1MHz 6502 sucks at disk I/O, sucks at copying memory and sucks at running C code, especially when the C code has to be optimized for space not speed. But it works. I have plans for REU support which I think will make it much much faster assuming i can get away with a few tricks and the timing doesn't break anything. #fuzix #commodore #c64 #retrocomputing #8bit

🤦 Facepalm of the day The famous retro YouTuber "The 8-Bit Guy" decided to alienate his core audience and destroy his whole reputation with a single video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmgeFTAk2a8 (He "made" a "movie" with genAI that he will show in a cinema. The vast majority of the thousands of comments on the video are extremely negative.) #retro #retrogaming #neverslop #noai #8bit #the8bitguy

I made something... Very Different.

IFEL BeebMMC V5 am BBC Micro Model B Mein BBC Micro Model B hat inzwischen neben dem echten Diskettenlaufwerk auch ein IFEL BeebMMC V5. Im neuen Beitrag geht es um mein aktuelles Setup mit DFS 2.26, SPI 0.91 und BASIC, die wichtigsten Befehle wie *CARD, *DCAT und *DIN, Sideways-ROMs, RLOAD sowie die Möglichkeiten zum Übertragen und Archivieren von Disketten. https://www.jungsi.de/ifel-beebmmc-v5/#BBCMicro #Acorn #BeebMMC #IFEL #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #DFS #8Bit

Here is another project I've been working on: https://github.com/ytmytm/1551-RAMBOard-FirstBank It's a RAMBOard, but for 1551. As far as I know this is the first of its kind. Just like on 1541-II a small daughterboard that plugs into the ROM socket. It adds 8K of RAM ($8000-$9FFF) plus 8K of extra ROM space ($A000-$BFFF). There is a patched ROM which uses the extra RAM as a track cache: it reads the entire track in one disk revolution, then serves subsequent sector reads from memory. Same idea as the track caching ROMs I did for 1541 and 1571. The project also includes a tiny fastloader wedge (HypaRAM) that calls the code embedded in the patched ROM. The same fastloader is already supported by the latest version of Parobek ROM for C16/116/Plus4. The performance is on par with DolphinDOS - about 27x faster than a stock 1541, about 7x faster than a stock 1551. #commodore #commodore16 #plus4 #hardware #8bit #cbm
