Upcoming blog posts

Too many projects, not enough time. I have some ongoing retro tech projects that will be described in upcoming blog posts. A couple automobile repair jobs have distracted me from more enjoyable pursuits, but those are behind me now. Here is a summary of some upcoming retro blog posts.

  • SCELBI PROM PCBs have arrived, I’ll need to build a card, burn EPROMs, and fire up my reproduction SCELBI and see if I can get MEA running
  • I bought a broken FLUKE timer/counter off of eBay and will document the attempts to repair and operate it
  • As part of the timer/counter repair, I built a simple capacitor ESR (equivalent series resistance) test device. As part of this effort, I also kludged together a simple capacitance tester
  • I also bought a couple of broken external 400K floppy drives for my MAC 128K, and will describe repair efforts
