Hello!
I was originally going to make this a TT2 video but I posted this early on my discord server for feedback and most people there seemed to think it would be better off as a main channel video since it's a big subject. So the productio...
Hello!
This is a device that I was sent in a mail video a long time ago now and it ended up being a fascinating device! Somehow this simple Casio from 1988 has managed to slip under the radar when from all the research I've done, i...
Hello!
When I'm researching a topic for a video I find I get the most complete picture when I go too far into the subject and related things. Knowing where you cross the line between relevant or not lets me know what is needed to present th...
Hello!
Alright, here's the repair attempt I mentioned at the end of the DECWriter II video. It was as hair raising as I feared so I am glad that I waited to attempt it. This was the most delicate work I've had to do that wasn't solder relat...
Hello!
I've been on the lookout for a hardcopy terminal since before I even got the Data Generals, the idea of using a computer directly on paper is fascinating to me. And I finally got my chance to get one from a local surplus auction! I w...
Hello!
I've been planning to revamp my home filming area for doing quick videos for a while and after filming most of the Atomic Keyboard video at home I realized I needed do that sooner than later. So I've made some big changes to my light...
Hello!
This is a really exciting video for me, when I was in the middle of working on my Dasher terminal a completely unrelated project was forming by some other people to recreate the Dasher keyboard, more specifically from the show Severa...
Hello!
I've had a delay in video production after encountering some surprisingly aged caps that I'm working on reforming still. It's coming along but I am having to take it slow based on the results I'm seeing and not wanting to damage them...
Hello!
A very quick on here that I'm actually going to preempt the last video for. The new Tron Ares movie soundtrack by NIN got a Japan exclusive release that looks like a floppy disk. It's just paper though...so what if I mad...
Hello!
So after getting the CD Robot working I discovered that the drive I had picked and painstakingly modified to work, still weren't going to cut it. They would crash hard when I tried to rip mixed-mode CDs. So...I decided to ri...
Hello!
This video is one I would never think I would be able to make. After what I feel like is an incredibly lucky score of something that would be ewaste to even 99% of computer collectors I get to re-experience a very significant compute...
Hello,
Finally it's done. In this video I go over the laborious and ridiculous process I went through to get a disc duplicator robot, well two of them, set up to be usable for disc ripping. Not only was it hard, there were aspects of this t...
Hello,
I'm trying to get back into work on the next video. I'm not fully ready personally but the channel's ad revenue is down to about 30% of what it was before I started this project and I need to get something done to course correct the ...
I had to say good bye to my cat Gulliver yesterday. What I thought was regaining weight with more focused feeding, turned out to be fluid build up from new heart issues that can't be treated with kidney failure at the same time. After 21 amazing y...
2025-09-06 18:51:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello,
I am not going to be able to finish the video for release this weekend. I had a critical vet visit with my cat today and I probably don't have long left with him. My heads not in the right place for this right now and I want to have t...

Hello
I'm making, or I guess made since I'm a little late here, the decision to delay the next video. It's on the subject I show in this preview video that will give you an idea where I'm at with it. In short, the story just isn't complete ...
Hello!
So the Amiga was a bust...I mentioned in my update video that I wanted to record a video on that next but it's PSU is toast. It seems like most people just replace the guts to repair it and commodore doesn't have a great history with...
Hello!
It's been a while since I've done one of these and wanted to talk a bit about recent projects as well as upcoming ones. This has been an interesting year so far and very different for me, I've also lined up a few more huge projects b...
Hello!
It's time for a mail video, I've had a lot of stuff I've been waiting to open (and some I couldn't wait on) that was sent from very generous viewers!
This wasn't my full plan for the next video but I needed this one to buy me ...
Hello!
I completely forgot I meant to publicly release this yesterday, it's not super critical though. I'm going to put it up tomorrow morning.
In preparation for the Dot and the manuals that would come with it, I re-wrote my scan po...
Hello!
This is a video I never would have guessed I would be able to make, I've been on the lookout for a Computer Devices Dot since my video on the origins of the 3.5in floppy disk. Well a couple of months ago, I managed to get one. This is...

Hello, yes, this is actually a video about a modern game from Shelby from Tech Tangents.
Okay, so this is a weird one. While I was on my break the Switch 2 had just come out and I was playing a bunch of Mario Kart World. Apparently I am
Hello!
In the last video of the microNOVA series I mentioned the potential of making a video showing how to use simH to emulate a Nova like I was to work with the disk images. There was a lot more interest in that than I would have expected...
Hello!
This is quick little video where I attempted repairing the knobs on the second Data General Dasher terminal I now have. This is a very common fault where the knobs that retain the vertical tilt crack and break off the screw mount. I ...
Hello!
This is a video 7 years in the making, or at least one I've wanted to make for 7 years. After I got my SOBAX ICC-1600 I've been keeping an eye out for the first models in the SOBAX line, and I finally managed to get my hands on not j...
Hello!
Time for another simple second channel video! In this one I wanted to walk through a method of using Quip Quik as a safe method for removing vintage chips and dealing with fragile old PCBs. I'm really happy with the results of this m...
Hello!
This is it, the Data General microNOVA finally! We've gone through all the hardware needed to make it work over the last four months and it's all ready. So in this one I am able to put the microNOVA back in the rack, get it all dress...
Hello!
Time for another second channel video, this one is a first look at a candidate for my desire to use an early high end portable media player from the mid 2000s. This is about the Cowon A2 from 2005 that was a fairly "standard" with it...
Hello!
We're closing in on the end of the first series of Data General videos, this video is solving the last problem preventing the system from being usable. The next one will be about how the system is setup and actually used! But for now...
Hello!
I gotta keep this short because I need to leave for the office in minutes, but I've been working on a new workflow software for how I automate imaging and arching media. It's finally at the point where it's ready to take over for my ...
