Our 37th meetup had some unique treasures, for example, Curt brought his Z88 – a portable computer with 80-column display and a menu-driven OS interface. And Saburo brought in his Teradrive for an intense team troubleshooting effort with Edoardo. 続き⇒
We closed out the year with a second December meetup. There were a few visitors and first-time attendees this time around, including Sato, Yasu (actually second time, first was last month), and members from the Game Preservation Society, Joseph and Soji. 続き⇒
Another fun gathering by the Tokyo Retro Computer Users is on the books. This time, Andy brought in his Apple II with adorable monochrome monitor for some tinkering and gameplay. 続き⇒
There was a bit of a modern feel to this retro computer meetup. A couple of computers from the 90s were present, including Sven’s recently-purchased Amiga 1200. We found out that it was mostly in good shape, so that was a bit of good news. 続き⇒
Our 33rd meetup began with Sean bringing his FM-77 L2, and Curt bringing a compatible 400-line board and its required 64KB memory expansion board (thus essentially making it an FM-77 L4 with FM sound expansion). As our on-site CRT monitor only supports 15kHz, we had to use our fallback LCD screen that semi-gracefully displays 24kHz to confirm its proper operation. 続き⇒
Our group met for another round of vintage computing activities as we bid adieu to long-time member Justin as he leaves for his home country. This time around, Sean brought his MZ-1500 for another visit. This is the system with the oddball QuickDisk drive, which reads like a tape but goes more or less at the speed of a floppy drive. He’d picked up a few new games recent to show off, including TNT Bomb Bomb and Mappy. 続き⇒
We convened for another retro rendezvous in Kayabacho. Sean arrived first (surprise!) with his SMC-777C. This was his third time bringing this machine, but this time he also brought his recently-procured disk stash, mostly copies included in a system he recently acquired. The stash included compilations totaling around 20 games, as well as CP/M, system utilities, and a word processor program. The games in the boxes were MZ-2500 games for Saburo to copy. 続き⇒
It was a mere two weeks since our previous meetup, but this was the day in July that worked out best for the most people so we reconvened early this time. Sean brought a beast of a computer with him, the Casio FP-1100. It has an unusual feature in BASIC that allows you to keep up to 10 separate programs in memory. It wasn’t a very popular machine, so for the most part, the games are very simple BASIC games using text mode, but there are a few machine language games with high-res graphics available for the platform as well. 続き⇒
Our group of vintage adventurers reconvened at Coedo for another day of fun, 8 bits at a time. As is typical, Sean arrived first, this time bringing his PC-8801MC… and not much else! Like, no keyboard to use the PC-8801MC with, some games, but half of them couldn’t even do their intros without the keyboard. What a dummy! He also brought in his non-powering NEC PC-6601 for inspection. Andy and Justin poked and prodded at it and threw out theories. Edoardo eventually took it home with him. 続き⇒
This was our biggest meetup in quite some time, with twelve people in attendance for the first time since the pandemic began. Sean was a bit late, but arrived first with his NEC PC-6601. As it was going on the auction block the next day, it was the only day to bring it in for show and tell. It’s not a very compact system but comes with an integrated floppy drive, fairly novel for that class of system. 続き⇒
