Project Planning

I'm trying to lay out some projects that I want to do "when I have the time". I'm considering streaming / recording these as I go if anyone wants to see them and/or help live. I'm at least going to document all of this so it's available to anyone who needs it.

I'm going to update this page as more things come up and I start completing tasks.

• Pimp my Atari ST
• Get video working. I have an SC1224 which isn't /super/ reliable. I have a Checkpoint monitor that I'm trying to get working for color + mono. I need to get that thing figured out and order whatever I need to make it go
• Get a BlueSCSI working as a novelty oversized hard drive with tons of partitions and everything on there. This will involve removing the RIFA caps and getting Len's ICD enclosure working and learning how to install drivers and stuff.
• Get my ST talking to Linux machines over serial. This could either be the Pi inside the CheckPoint monitor, or ideally hooked up through the Avocent serial console switch so I could address other ports
• Use the serial terminal to manage software transfers from my PC to ST eliminating using aging physical floppy disks and drives or new things like GoTek
• Use this method to make images of Len's stuff and transfer to the PC. I think that will be the easiest way to archive these disks
• NeXT Machine
• Buy the replacement modern SoundBox card to get VGA output and eliminate the aging CRT
• Build the AdaFruit project to use the NeXT non-ADB keyboard on a PC with USB
• Use that knowledge to gauge how hard it might be to go the other direction? Using USB stuff on NeXT would be way more useful
• Try to get the service manual for that printer or an equivalent Canon model
• MiSTer Cabinet
• Remove that front door. I keep banging my knees on this idiot door
• While the cabinet is apart, extend all the ports from the TV inside with like pigtail connectors including power (C14 -> C15), HDMI and anything else like RF and stuff to hook up Ataris
