2016-09-08 16:17:49 +0000 UTCThanks a lot for the offer! I'm mostly on the lookout for the software for the PC-8801 series at this point. Cassette games and software is particularly hard to find, but even the 5.25" disk games for later systems would be great to track down.

2016-08-31 21:50:29 +0000 UTCHeh, yeah, basically whenever there's a game where I can't read the menus and such :P

2016-08-28 01:18:42 +0000 UTCI'd love to try some RGB consoles on this, and in theory it should work just fine, but I haven't been able to source cables for it
LGR
2016-08-28 01:18:30 +0000 UTCAwesome that you got the right cable for it! Though, side curiosity, have you ever tried running that Sony TV with RGB output from game consoles like the SNES or Genesis? Either way, really awesome computer dude! :)

LGR
2016-08-28 00:22:27 +0000 UTCIn theory, absolutely should! I don't have the skills to make a conversion cable, but I'd love to see it done
LGR
2016-08-28 00:22:17 +0000 UTCHehe, yes indeed. Gotta love the quirks of systems from that era.

2016-08-28 00:18:30 +0000 UTCWith the right cable, the IBM CGA should work with that monitor in TTL mode as well. It would be cool to know if it has the dark yellow -> brown correction.
