Since the BBC went pop, I’ve been wondering what to do while I decide on a fix (I’ll probably do the minimum DIY soldering option). So, with that on hold pending parts and having the time to solder, I’m looking at a couple of shorter, interim projects to share here.
Currently, I’m toying with:
- An MS-DOS laptop
Modding an A500 Mini
Upgrading a Game Boy Color
Alternatively, it might be
- Exploring Amiga disk archiving with Greaseweazle
Backing up C64 cassettes
I suspect that whatever I choose will hit similar roadblocks, necessitating many switches between projects, but if that is what we need to do to progress through these projects, so be it.
Let me know if you have any preference, otherwise I will go where my nose takes me 🙂
