Politics are not to be blamed, unless you want to distract from personal responsibility 😀

This is not about today's relevance, but oweing to people to which I didn't deliver in a long, long time - and probably won't for another, possibly never.

how about no or do it yourself (preferably in a seperate topic)? Current status: ARGUS Prototypes still not sent, materials safely stored, living in a glorified storage room for sublet, still working at my scummy, loser-job 6 days per week. Feels good to be a combination of a slacker and a failure. …

I'd defintely prefer to finish shit myself and feel at least slightly less than a co-dependant loser - so yeah ... an offer for taking over isn't the best at this point. If I haven't been able to find a decent solution by January I'll be handing stuff over to a local friend or within the community …

Well fuck my life ... guess who just had his hopes destroyed once again, that I might be able to stay if I sent in the required paperwork. I'm so tired of this bullshit with my former flatmate (who I've been running after for piece of the paper for 3 months now), the landlord and this city overall. …

I'm still alive and around - even tho times are really tough. I hope to get back onto the project by February next year, but can't promise anything. I guess not ending up homeless is more important than this project. I still have the "Release Candidate" boards wrapped up, but haven't been able to …

I don't own any PS/2 machines this point. But both thumbs up for reverse engineering this extremely rare card.

I've previously owned 2 due to extreme luck. One was still shrinkwrapped ... sold for 1€(!) on eBay due to an extremely limited description without pictures roughly 6 years ago. The other one was "just" boxed but in near new condition, found at a flea market at a major german vintage computer meetup …

What you both said ... it's a decent park to walk through (I actually kinda like the petting zoo and the large, round grass field), but probably has the worst weed of Berlin on offer (from what I heard ... the dealers probably are desperate for sales for a reason - namely bad quality you only want …

There's one very specific corner where alcoholics gather (usually watched by 2 cop cars) and one backyard which is usually populated with dealers ... not pretty, but not a hotspot either.

are you looking to live in Charlottenburg? 18-24 is very expensive and reaches Luxembourg-Prices (which are really premium...but for new flats). Anyway: we waited years after the GUS release for a card, we can wait any more months required to finish the project ;) Welcome to Kreuzberg36 ... one of …

If you check the RC2 carefully JLCPCB actually fucked up that instruction they gave themselves ... I ended up with a JLCJLCJLCJLC marker (under the Interwave) I put on the card PLUS their own pool identifier in an always visible place. A decent hotfix is drawing over their pool marker with a red …

Driving down the price to an uncertain degree will still work if the cards get put out in 5 years 😉 Yes, this project has been taking longer than I originally intended ... a lot longer. If that's a problem to anyone involved, I'm always up for a dialogue.

No need for financial support ... that regard is pretty much save for now. Appreciate the offer tho. The problem is more or less that renting a place here is ridiculously expensive, unless you're verified as poor/socially weak. 18-24€ per m² is something only the rich can affort, but extremely …

Another update: Let's say my life is currently chaotic, part of hectic and somewhat existential. On the good news, I just started a new regular job today (previously I did restore vintage computers as a contractor with less and less jobs coming in since a while). On the bad news ... well, my …

Gotta have to start somewhere :) While I never learned PCB design, I'd call this extremely good for a first PCB. Sure it has it's botches and kinks, but so do mine still after 7 projects. Looking forward to see how the final product looks like if you decide to make it more than a personal project at …
Re: Innovation SSI 2001 re-engineering and/or conclusions

i wonder how many of these Innovation SSI 2001s really exist in the wild ? I'm currently aware of 2 (owned by people on this forum, being the one with the "sid 6581" written near the socket with a marker and the one with a 6581R4AR) and one being "semi-lost" (should be on loan to someone in this …

Basically what Tiido said ... even tho i'd replace "often" with "sometimes" :P Also on sunday we gave MIDIFIER a spin, it's a small tool that was originally designed for the classic GUS but also works with the ARGUS which turns your PC + GUS into a full blown midi synthesizer that can be controlled …

Some small updates: I've had the chance to test one of the ARGUS Prototypes with an MT-32 (Rev. 0), seems to work as expected, complete with occasional Buffer Overflows, sometimes instruments not being properly reprogrammed or songs randomly hanging (same happened with a Terratec Base 1). Most …
