My Newest Acquisitions...

I just unboxed an A1000 with a huge amount of software and other items. It has a very rare expansion and a game I've been looking to pick up for a very long time. There are over a hundred boxed software and game packages to look through. Now to get the whole thing working together.
This is going to be fun. :bounceBoingBall:

Apollo1260 and Falcon 1240

Apollo1260 and Falcon 1240

Sorry, no pictures available a.t.m., but i’ve purchased a Falcon 1240 (made by Macrosystem) and an Apollo 1260 (It is originally a 1260, not a transformed from 040 to 060 card.) clocked at 66mhz. The Flacon is already in use in my towerized 1200 but the 1260 still on its way, not delivered yet.
 
so, oddly enough, now that most places are open again, covid-19 has been something of a boon for me.... in the sense that I only encounter anywhere from 1/10 - 1/4 the number of people I normally would (I am on disability for certain anxiety issues, which I wont bore you with) and it actually makes things easier for me. (also, finally got my annual renewal on my rent supplement this week, which always relieves some stress, that period of not knowing whether it's been renewed for another year always kind of sucks)

so, you already know what's coming :p

Thrift Store Find

What a strange discovery. It's a soundcard manufactured by Trident, with a built-in Yamaha XG wavetable. Had no idea such things even existed.

My recent acquisitions

My recent acquisitions

Oops just seen this thread !!. My excuse is a friend only recently introduced me to this retro scene. I'm upto about 30 ongoing projects thanks to delays from China suppliers. Not to mention spin off projects such as recycling old LED TV's for lighting and building an arcade Machine. About three years back this loft conversion was nice and empty. I'll apologise now if you see me reviving year old threads trying to get things working.
