A varta bomb?

Luckily not a full-on bomb but definitely annoying to clean up.

I didn't know MS-DOS was ever released on 8" disks... or was it converted?  Either way, pretty cool!

I found a few articles on interfacing generic 8” drives with IBM PCs through a quick Google search. I didn’t find anywhere that explicitly stated that 77 track 1.2mb 8” disks will work with 1.2mb 5.25” disk configurations, but I did find a 77 track 1.2mb 3.5” format that will apparently work with most standard floppy controllers, so I assume there isn’t much needed to get an 8” drive working on a PC. From there you could use the SYS command to make the disk bootable, then boot DOS from the disk. 

I've got two ways currently,

1: Following this article and doing pretty much what bluejay said,

2: PC-9801 + PC-9881, it may be a localization but hey it's still MS-DOS.

Both are fun, both are silly, and only the second is practical.

I think it is still is valuable, if it is an original.

It's a crap game with nothing to do with Ultima except they slapped the name on it. It's quite rare tho so yea valuable to collectors

It used character graphics for all the artwork! It's hilarious! Well, maybe not to anyone who bought it full price.

Hope you have a VERY Merry Christmas Kiddo

Thanks! I have to work half the day but eh, at least I get the other half with family.

Nope, that is not correct at all. Perhaps you're using your Genesis A/V cable where you have to reverse audio and video to get a B&W image on the C64?

They make great fishtanks!

Relive the memories of NT4?

How is ReplayFX going? Decided not to go. I remember finding a box C128 at Goodwill for $10 or so many years ago.

what are you going to do with all that ram?

^"Best Pong-esque game...you can actually beat the game..." I forgot about Video Olympics on the Atari. XD

Still, though, Handball is probably some of the most fun you're likely to have on the Studio II.

I've picked up Tennis/Squash and Spacewar too, gonna keep biorythm just to have it but I'm happy I didn't spend more than $10 for it.

Kind of a chore to find ways to have fun with this system, but rewarding.

What's crazy is that they actually had a Studio II.

What's also crazy is that the Studio II is actually kind of fun, in small doses.

Why am I not shocked BassGuitari showed up when Studio II was mentioned?

It would be shocking if you were.

Shit, I thought the 2.5ish feet we got was bad. Hope all is well at your house Beans. Happy Ho Ho to you too kid. I hope Santa treated you well

Damn BB! I've got about 5 inches in my driveway and crazy wind pushing it around,...But it's gotta stop eventually. I hope all is well otherwise

Wow, the Lada Niva is like the Russian version of the Jeep. Those are super cool and bulletproof.

I use to play the heck outta Space Dungeon. Get it with the dual controller holder thingy....

Congrats! I still don't have one...

Sounds Fun!

Hope you enjoy it!

One of my other retro computing friends also has particular feelings for the PDP-8 series. I hope you'll have fun!

We used to have one in the basement. Rotting away un-used. Sold it off to a museum (private collector funded by the public).

Oh wow, I'd never heard of the PiDP. That's really cool!

Solder it?

There are internal RAM upgrades which would be more reliable and would give you more memory as well. I'm thinking of trying one with my T/S 1000.

You are a good friend! I give my best friend vid games also.

Incredibly decent! My birthday is in January LOL.

Ooh, ooh! Play Quantum next!

Missile Command!

Reactor? Slither? Maybe something off the beaten path...

yay storms

I always hope the power goes out hehe

Last time I was without for 12 hours 1 blustery Feb day

I think the max gusts werev at or over 85mph! O.O

Oh I slept alot since I was super bored

Yeh, when the power goes it its like entering another realm.

true it is

So best to have a battery radio & a fully charged cell phone & game device

let me know how that goes!

Good luck on it!

Saw them at Radio City Music Hall in 1990. They were great and so was the crowd.

"There's a moon in the sky called the Moon."

I saw the B-52's at Irvine Meadows (R.I.P.) in the Summer of 1989. My car broke down on the way home at 1 in the morning and I was stuck on the side of the 91 freeway for almost 5 hours. Good times.

You should pick up a Unicomp Model M keyboard. You'll probably never have to buy another keyboard again.

Yeah, I was going to grab a Unicomp Model M or the 122-key terminal one at first - I love the old Model Ms to death - but I decided against it as I want something linear for gaming as well. Still, if the Topre dies quicker than I hear they do or if I have $100 sitting around with nothing better to do I'd love to pick up a Unicomp sometime here.

Congrats!
