I have just done a write up of how to connect an Iomega Zip Drive up the Atari Portfolio. Read more here:

It’s 1994 and I am fed up splitting files across 1.44mb floppy disks to transfer them between PCs. There has to be a better way? Well here it is! The Iomega ZIP drive. 100MB of storage on a single disk! Now I never had one of these back in the day as they cost a […]

I have just added the first page under the modifications section of the site. I hope to fill this section with guides about how to do some of the hardware modifications I have done to the consoles and computers in my collection. My first guide is the menu system I created using a Raspberry Pi […]

I backed this little (and I do mean little!) device on Kickstarter a while back and today they delivered! This small hand held measures just 4.5×4.5×1.5 cm and yet still manages to emulate systems up to and including the orignal Playstation. Now this is obviously not going to be your main emualtion device but its […]

Another one for the collection. The Psion Series 3 personal digital assistant. This little device containes all the basic functionality you would expect from a PDA of that era.

I am of the age that at school we had these beauties in our classrooms. I remember designing many circuit boards on one of these in our Design and Technology classes. Well finally I now have on in my collection. I have already replaced the power supply capacitors which were ready to explode (This is […]

After many months of waiting and monitoring eBay. I finally managed to acquire a serial interface for my Atari Portfolio 🙂 So now along with plugging it into cash machines to take out as much money as I want, and breaking into the secure areas of Cyberdyne Systems, I can also connect up to my […]

Been messing around with the MSX recently so thought it was a good time to do a small write up.

Despite sitting right in front of my main computer screen I just realised I didn’t add this to my archive. So here it is, the Raspberry Pi 400 Home Computer 🙂 Click here to read my thoughts:

I have been pretty lazy with the site for a couple of months so decided to spend some time doing a couple of updates today since it’s bloody cold outside.

So I was lucky enough to get one of these pre-ordered on Amazon a few minutes after the listing went live. The console itself is great and personally I really like the looks of it. To me Sony have always done something new with the design of their consoles hwere as over manufacturers just seem […]
