I really want to get this project done. It’s so close! I bought a lot of six boards off eBay. Stated that Three were working right off, two were missing minor parts but presumed to be working, and one completely untested and missing the crystal. On the untested one I […]

After careful contemplation I decided to just get a whole CP instead of fixing the one I have. It already has the overlay, the joystick, the wiring, etc. Plug and play. I will work on the original in my spare time (ha!) but at least that piece of the puzzle […]

Years ago I bought a 2 1/4″ trackball on eBay for a pittance. I’d forgotten all about it, only finding it a couple days ago in a box of other stuff. Glad I did; the original on this needs a serious rebuild as the bearings stick and the rollers are […]
