A hobbyist built a modern 8-bit computer using recycled 1950s vacuum tubes, designed to run applications like an airship flight simulator and Fibonacci sequence calculations. The machine features a humanoid form with separate sections for arithmetic logic, control functions, and input/output, and requires careful thermal stabilization and safety precautions due to high-voltage operation.
A 386 PC emulator firmware for the RP2350 microcontroller enables full i386 CPU emulation with DOS, Windows, and Linux support via VGA/HDMI output, SD card storage, and multiple input methods. The project supports various RP2350-based boards and provides runtime configuration for memory, CPU generation, sound devices, and disk image management.
Binbows 98 is a bootable disc image that emulates Windows 98 aesthetics and functionality, featuring an animated boot splash, recovery console with command history, and real access to the boot volume's file system. The 3.5 megabyte image boots directly from firmware and provides a nostalgic experience of 1990s computing with genuine DOS-like commands while clarifying which features are authentic versus humorous.
TailTalk is a modern async AppleTalk stack written in Rust and Tokio that enables communication with vintage Macs and printers on Linux, macOS, and Windows without kernel drivers. It provides packet parsers and async APIs for major AppleTalk protocols, supports file sharing via AFP, printer sharing via AirPrint/IPP, and works with TashTalk USB devices for LocalTalk networks.
