Got an old school 8087 so now I can do floating point operations in MSDOS on my #AppleII

Still disappointed that this PC Transporter doesn't have the rad gold ICs

I present to you the most cursed Apple IIGS #AppleII

I have installed the PC Transporter 👀

Still.havebt gotten it to start up yet but I think that's partially because I don't have a drive connected to it and the IIGS is misconfigured

*sad softcard noises* something is wrong with the interface, can't get a prompt out of it even though it seems to be running

I have made it to Willamette without a single crash!

Ah it looks like my issues with the IIe are due to my 80 column RAM card being shot. It's bent lmao.

Going to try to reseat it and see if it works

I'm remote so I couldn't check the Temps or anything but the rebuilt ADSB+APRS station which would die on 80° days last summer survived the 3 hottest days in recorded history over the weekend, so that's a win

Waiting on a 144MhZ band pass for the APRS receiver but the radio station is shaping up. I may also end up buying a discrete front end filter for the 1090 receiver since the one on the 978 is working super well.

Ayyy I'm getting 978 UAT
