Received this from eBay.
Did code a lot with it in the 80ies, excellent BASIC dialect.

Alas all my code using it is lost as I unfortunately reused all the tapes containing that code.

Doing some Acorn Archimedes gaming: Cannon Fodder. Nice game! I of course suck at it 😉

Busy today with assembling the Ultimate 64 Elite II in its intended case. Works and looks great!

Yay, connected to the global Econet. Acorn Econet over the internet. Connected via an PiEconetBridge.

‘Some’ reading materials…… (and yes, intend to use it to try to develop some own stuff. Will take some time)

It always gives an adrenaline kick if you see that someone is using the software you wrote and is even writing an honest review…. This time in Greek actually.

New toy received: the new Ultimate 64 Elite 2 board.
Now only have to find time to put it in a proper case and connect stuff. But it is a beauty!

Attended the yearly ROX (RiscOs eXperience) last Saturday. Lots of ARM-related stuff, but also *lots* of 8-bit fans ;-)

ROX is organized by the Dutch Acorn / ARM user group, BigBenClub.nl

I was a member in the 1980s, and rejoined a couple of years ago. Hobbyists young and old are welcome ;-)

The latest album from @lukhash.bsky.social contains bonus files: one Amiga ProTracker MOD file and two C64 SID files. Of course wanted to record from real hardware, here the MOD from my Acorn Archimedes.

A little reorganising to also permanently connect my new Acorn Archimedes A310.

Think this is really maxing out space, so no new computers for this desk 😉

Managed to convert the video of my new Acorn Archimedes A310 to HDMI, using the ODV GBS-C, so a first video testdriving it.

Exciting new addition to my retro collection: an Acorn Archimedes A310. Expanded with a.o. ARM3, 4MB.

The start of the ARM architecture.

Now the puzzle to get color picture on any of my monitors and getting to learn the machine, but it is alive!

Digital Super Pak 2

Acquired this in an auction: this pack combines Pocket Writer 2, Pocket Planner 2 and Pocket Filer 2 for both C64 and C128 in one package.

Acquired Oxford Pascal for C128. A Pascal compiler that promises to make full use of the C128 memory capabilities.
