eeeeprom: extremely easily electrically erasable programmable read only memory

Creating TeleDisk images for a few more copy protected DOS games. Looks like there are some weird sector sizes! Let's hope they will work as intended.

Magical Girl Ferris is beloved and appreciated by all she meets, except Xenia and her roommate Tux who every time Magical Girl Ferris shows up at their place only chaos and comedic destruction result

Finally it happened to me as well: developers complaining that the behavior of my OSS libraries does not match what ChatGPT explains to them. 🤦‍♂️

I got asked over on Tumblr to explain how EPROMs work/are used, so I ended up explaining the whole basic timeline of mask ROMs to flash memory, in an attempted accessible-to-non-techie fashion. It's here if you'd like to read it or fact check me:

Thank you. And keep melting the circuitry.

I wrote a #perl script that randomly selects a piece of #unix_surrealism art :^)

You can pipe it into feh to set your wallpaper to a random artwork every day (example at top of the code)

It is also my first perl program, I see why it is bloody everywhere (its neat!). I use the HTTP parser to look for links of the right form, then I use LWP to do a GET request for the .png file

I'm desperately seeking information about this chip.

It is a custom #Psion RS232 IC used in the Series 3c, codenamed CONDOR.

If you were involved in the development of the 3c or knew someone who worked for Psion around 1994-1997 who might have been involved, please get in touch.

We want to emulate this chip in #MAME so that it can be added to the existing Psion SIBO hardware #emulation.

This could also help with 3mx serial emulation.
