I received the Gerber file for the PCB of the #MIDI #interface for the #Commodore #Amiga, from a person nicknamed Buttersoft. It's a nice design, employing SMD components that fits inside a standard DB25 shell. They authorized me to publish the files on my webpage, so here they are: davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.p #retrocomputing #music I like to see that people seem to appreciate my design, based on a few transistors and passive components.

Are you using Mastodon through a computer?

Do you wish there was a multi-column TweetDeck-style interface?

There is! It's called the "advanced web interface" and you can activate it any time you want. It lets you add many specialised columns, subscribe to hashtags and all kinds of stuff suited to large wide displays.

Log into the website, go to Preferences > Enable Advanced Web Interface, tick the box and click "Save Changes".

(To restore the default single column interface, do the same thing but untick the box instead.)

This used to be the default interface on Mastodon, and very old articles about the platform will have screenshots of the multicolumn interface.

Here's an old article (german language) from 2013 where I write about me building a DIY tape interface for the Sharp Pocket PC 14xx and 12xx series. This was the time when I started to tinker with electronics. (Article Link: commfud.ufud.org/Archive/date/)

The schematic (courtesy of M. Nosswitz) can still be found at the Pocket Computer Museum (pocket.free.fr/), but I add it here for the sake of completeness.
