Happy Friday peeps, I'm having some fun on this IBM ThinkPad T42 (2004), it's such a solid, reliable machine, I can still get an hour and a half out of the 22 year old battery too!

I've been secretly working on getting this dead VIC-20 working, I've been fault finding and I think I have narrowed it down to one thing. Updates on the coming week, fingers crossed 🤞
I've never used a VIC-20 before, so I look forward to giving it a whirl! 😊

I picked up another Amstrad NC100 Notepad, the last one was a disaster. I managed to snap this one for cheap, but it is very dirty, so let's get it all sorted!

This was my test machine for getting Openstep 4.2 working, it's a Core 2 Duo. Getting it working on the Vortex86 box was difficult as it doesn't have a floppy drive or CD-ROM. I've installed Openstep a few times, but getting a colour Video driver working was the trickiest part.

Maybe the world's smallest x86 PC to run Next Openstep 4.2 bare-metal!
