wsl9x: Windows 9x subsystem for Linux https://lobste.rs/s/ipyknz #assembly #linux #retrocomputing #windows

I think we all have several projects on our plates. Today I'm hoping to solve this one:
I recently came into possession of a monitor sound bar, a Zylux AX510, which seems to have been commonly sold as a Dell. I don't have the power supply, but according to a DIYer on Amazon, it runs off of +12V on the red wire. I knew there was a reason why I keep on my old power wall warts. Now let's just see if I have a 12V one.

On May 28, 2025 Eleanor Young will give the talk "The Medley Interlisp Project: Reviving a Historical Software System" at the 2025 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering and Industry Summit (CCECE). She will discuss what other historical software recovery groups can learn from the Medley Interlisp Project.
New video! I found another Datasette and have to repair it. I am also repairing a 1531 adapter plug.

I thought my PC CRT monitor needed its capacitors replaced, as it was behaving a bit oddly and after cleaning it internally (to assess its condition) the video signal was overly blue, so I thought my fiddling around inside had further "encouraged" a capacitor to turn all sad.
Turns out I just derped when putting everything back together and hadn't fully plugged in one of the small neckboard connector cables. Now it's looking all nice and correct again. Very nice news for me, as CRT monitors have a lot of capacitors 😅.

Part 2 of my journey to save one of my favorite games back in my childhood from getting lost to time is live!
This time, we'll start digging into the game files, assess the damage, and plan our route ahead.

The first OFFICIAL Commodore 64 built in over 30 years…in a translucent case with “game-reactive” color changing built in.
I pushed an update to #DOStodon (the #Mastodon client for MS-DOS):
- Updated #curl to 8.14.1
- Updated #mbedTLS to 3.6.4
- Enabled HTTP 3xx redirections
Grab it at https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon
Screenshot is showing both, the DOS ( @DOSBox_Staging ) and the the win32 version (Win10).

Still one of my favourite 3D prints, ever.
A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.
