Hardware I've collected and kept running over the years. From Atari ST and Amiga to MiSTer FPGA and DOS towers.
Atari ST Corner
🖥️ The Mega ST Fleet
Three Mega ST 4 machines and a Mega ST 2, each with a clearly defined role from heirloom to workstation.
⚡ ET4000 Experiment
Why bolting a graphics card onto a Mega ST overloads a 1980s power supply, and what actually solved the resolution problem.
📺 Monitor Compatibility
The 15kHz problem explained, and which modern monitor panels actually cooperate with Atari colour modes.
🔌 Networking & BBS
Getting an Atari ST online via STinG and Wi-Fi modem hardware, and dialing into classic bulletin board systems.
Amiga Corner
💾 AmigaOS on Modern Platforms
Running AmigaOS 3.2.3 on MiSTer FPGA versus Amiberry on a Raspberry Pi, and the HDF pitfalls to avoid.
🥧 The PiMiga Journey
Three generations of the PiMiga distro compared, and why the newest release isn't automatically the best one.
⚔️ Vampire, A600GS or MiSTer
Why comparing modern Amiga hardware by benchmark numbers alone is actively misleading.
📦 The A1200
What's confirmed so far about Retro Games Ltd.'s upcoming Amiga 1200 console, ahead of its 2026 launch.
FPGA & Emulation
🧩 MiST and MiSTer
Two FPGA boards with two very different personalities, and why the newer one doesn't win every category.
🛋️ Batocera in the Living Room
The couch-friendly, software-emulation counterpart to the FPGA rigs, covering everything from Atari ST to arcade.
🕹️ Mini Arcades & Handhelds
A buyer's guide to compact retro gaming devices, and how to spot a bootleg clone before you buy one.
