@tim_lavoie@cosocial.ca I knoooooooow but that means first I need to figure out why it’s not booting and *then* I need to figure out both the hardware and software sides of setting up an RS232 link and that’s exactly the project that I *haven’t* gotten to in the last decade. If someone will do all that for me, they can *have* the computer.
And yeah I used this from probably…1991-1994 or so until I got my first PC (a second-hand IBM PS/2). So junior high, really. You code on what you can afford!

@tim_lavoie@cosocial.ca If nobody buys it I’ll take it as a sign 😄

@darryl@toot.community Makes sense! In high school, we had Commodore Super Pets with a shared floppy setup. Used Pascal, since my rather enlightened teacher wanted us to learn something with structure. Switched schools for grade 12 (er, '83-84), had TRS-80s, so self-taught BASIC then (and then took some Pascal there, felt like a genius).

@darryl@toot.community What I do wish I had was some of my university assignment code. Mostly Amiga (running AMAXX Mac emulator) in weird floppy format, later Linux when I got some freebie 386 hardware and my old Amiga monitor had died.
