Rollaway

I've set up one of the racks with some finish ply as a roll away bench surface that I can pull out temporarily to use machines like the Atari and Commodore 8-bits without having them wired into the henge all the time.

All the cables and power supplies are convenient so it's quick to just drop a machine down and start messing around:

The project I want to do turns out to be a lot more homework than just "plug it in, turn it on, go!". To use a serial port it's recommended to make a boot disk for whatever DOS you prefer and write a tool to load and configure your specific device driver. Then you can run your terminal program.

I got some reading to do on that one. I can't even figure out how to launch a thing through MyDOS.
