Somehow missed a new release of Dethrace, a reverse-engineered port of Carmageddon, two weeks ago.
github.com/dethrace-lab...
Right now it doesn't offer any enhancements beyond unlocked framerate, but the game seems to run perfectly fine in software rendered 640x480.

My RS/6000 hobby project. It's a 43P Model 140 with 576 MB and a @bluescsi.com SD to SCSI interface to replace the slow and loud hard drive.
Excited to learn about the bluescsi.com/ultra announcement.

The new #BlueSCSI Wide SCA EVT board arrived today (and this time the PCB was the right color!)
Already working with the standard Ultra Wide firmware, and now I get to implement SCA SCSI ID detection.

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/

Tuesday at 2:30PM EST we're going to finish up the FM Towns II UG20 saga so I can get it back to its owner. There's still one floppy drive to service and I'll show how I modified a 72pin SIMM and got a BlueSCSI to work with the machine.

Installing a 50p internally & want to be extra cautious you should. I'm comfortable moving around with the back off and install a HDD, but not everyone is for sure and thats ok. Good things to consider are a mount to access the SD card from the front, or a BlueSCSI DB25 that plugs in the back
