  1. ​​ @saveitforparts  if I remember correctly, they both could use 25pin 'D' centronics connectors, but the gender would be reversed for serial, I can't remember which one was was male or female for peripherals, my old printers aren't handy, and I often mixed them up when I used them often.. SCSI one used that connector too! Got a scanner that needs a 25 to 50(or68) pin adapter..

  6. That could run "collapse OS" As in; https://youtube.com/shorts/qJCiugT7jj8?si=p-2-g7EGpqL4N6W_ I I think it's funny how that short insinuates that z80 computers would be easy to find in a post-apocalyptic world😆

  7. They're also flexible solar panels and there have been attempts to make solar panel umbrellas in the past, including myself, I'm sure patents have expired by now.

  10. 1870's? I think the word tinker was already outdated in the 1970s and 80s (coming from someone who lived on Tinker Street in Woodstock New York)

  11. Did you see that orange phosphorescence between 2:42 & 2:43?

  12.  @saveitforparts  maybe but it definitely seemed to have an afterglow not just fluorescent paint There is a strontium aluminate glow powder doped appropriately to be orange, but that's not a very popular choice of glow-in-the-dark color and why would it be there?

  14. do you program them from scratch? Or at least understand their disassembly enough to edit them? I would love to do something with that nasty printer firmware that keeps locking what kind of ink cartridges you can work with... A lot of people would love that kind of rom update!!!!! Otherwise I want to know if this goes anywhere with the kindle, I got an old Kindle kicking around somewhere my saved for parts collection!

  22. Looks like something a stenographer might use, The serial style printer ports usually went to receipt printer style printers that I remember. Also resembles the crt that came with my Apple Iic

  23. Dam! , I thought it was just going to be another trip to axeman surplus from the thumbnail ! WoW! Lucky you! I'm jealous ! Ok , back to watching... Near the end i saw what looked like a trampoline, could that be used as a frame for a big dish and parts of the BK play thing to mount it? Would that fit in the dome? Did my separate comment about that get deleted by YouTube?

  25. Is there a way to stream output? i.e., Use it like a weird webcam? Also, doesn't VLC play the video? It should. Maybe the extension don't match expectations for the format, you can play with that.

  26.  @saveitforparts  like someone else in the comments mentioned, it was probably a raw file with a common encoding type but that wasn't put in a container like an mp4. If you have a hex editor and compare the difference(before changing aspect ratio) you could probably see the headder that makes it a mp4.. everything else should be the same... But I haven't messed with these kind of things since Windows 3.1
