Constantly playing with cool old electronics, and perpetually in over my head, but always having a blast.

I've been working on a pretty big homebrew project in the background for the last few months that I'm really hoping PCBWay -Elaine Hu can help me out with! It's taking me longer than I was hoping to get there, but I'm starting to make some good progress on the PCB designs!

I've been scheming how to build out my ultimate Centurion setup, and this extremely rudimentary mock-up I think is gonna be top notch! Main chassis: 1x Hawk, 2x Floppy, and 1x Finch Second chassis: 1x Hawk, 1x Phoenix (The Phoenix is going to be a... challenge)

Heads up! The scammers hit my most recent YT comments hard and are skimming stuff off Twitter to try and convince people that my Centurion is a gift. Don't fall for it! I'm not selling anything, I'll never ask anyone for money, and the Centurion is going with me to the grave.

That's ZORK, but what's it running on? Oh, nothing too special, just a 1981 Wangwriter 5503 with a custom CP/M BIOS written by 256Byteram, a brilliant member of the Discord! youtu.be/mu8O4cvKU5A

Two very different machines up and running next to each other! The Centurion is booted into TOS6, the expanded memory monitor, off the 8-inch floppy drive, and the Wangwriter is booted into Wang's Word Processing software off it's internal 5-1/4" floppy drive.

Quick, someone call Hollywood, my ADDS Envoy terminal broke in such a way that makes it perfect for the next Sci-Fi blockbuster! (For those curious, this is a bad hex inverter with OC outputs that controls four of the nine address lines into the character generator ROM.)
