this company bought off the unsold stock of Dragon 64 computers after the original welsh company went bankrupt, and they're selling them new still today for $49 each plus shipping.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
i've still got an old tandy 102 somewhere

have to check the pinout on the cassette in din, i hosed around with trying to load "tapes" but either the line levels are wrong off the line out or the din-1/4" jack pinout is off

no. many computers used din-style ports for peripherals and they were often not electrically compatible.

the 5 and 8 pin din connectors were pretty common for i/o peripherals back in the day.

ADB uses the same connector as s-video

on the other hand a ton of home computers used the same connector and electrical interface for joysticks as the atari. even the sega genesis used it

din connectors were standard on a lot of audio gear in the 70s and 80s. so the connectors and cables were cheap and easily available, both to manufacturers and to users who needed to make all the weird cables their computers needed

running anything fun on it yet? like your x86 3D thing?

that new old stock docking station is down to $50 (plus the same for shipping), you could put cards in it and stuff and also not have to have the battery connected

the genesis took pins high or low to determine what buttons were pushed and other stuff only expected it to go low on presses


idk the exact deets but u can mess up ur commodore 64 by using a genesis controller. master system controllers fine tho
