Took years of searching and all it required was a popular r/hardwareswap post but I got this last year. Very unique machine in my collection. It runs OpenBSD and some Linux distros (with a bit of hacking.)
Willing to go into more depth if people are interested.
That’s awesome :pog-dolphin:
How many machines do you have in your collection
I’ve got a bunch of old thinkpads, various Macs, and a good bit of 8-bit computers. Best find was a VIC-20 for $10.
There’s some cpu bugs OpenBSD patched and the boot loader is pretty unique. The only Linux distro with comparable support is Debian and I haven’t gotten the images to work.
OpenBSD has official support though so it’s the easiest to get working. However the cpu is extremely slow so getting new software in the repos is difficult.
I'm too dumb to understand, but looks based.
Is there any chance that the CPC would develop a native OS for shit like nuclear missiles
It’s been a WIP for the last few years, with an estimated final date of 2022.
Very interested. I'd say make a video, but don't dox yourself. What's it like?
It can probably run DOOM, but the gpu is pretty paltry and you’d need the Crysis source to recompile to MIPS.
there’s def people who would say this has back doors and happily use a cpu with Intel ME.
