Episode description

 

Another retro adventure.  It's a fun hobby!

Welcome to Show 051!  This week's Topic: My PX-8 Virtual Disk Drive Adventure!

This week I cover the trials and tribulations of setting up a floppy disk emulator program for the Epson PX-8 laptop.  It involves soldering and creative software trickery.  What more could you ask for in a retro computing project?

Topics and links discussed in the podcast...

A while back I did a book review on Digital Retro.  It's a great book, and here's the webpage for the author, Gordon Laing...
There is more to retro than computing - check out Retro Thing, the independent guide to retro technology.  And definitely have a look at the section on Classic Computing!

Thanks for listening!
