Platform: Wright Line 2600 Card Punch - IBM 024 Keypunch - Related
Unit-Record Equipment
Project : An endurance challenge utilizing punch card equipment,
unit-record equipment, and batch processing in a mainframe environment.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Paleoferrosaurus is back with an endurance challenge
with... punch cards?! I cant wait to see this!
Halftime Update: Paleoferrosaurus is battling aged rubber and plastic
in his Documation M200, but has given us a wonderful series of videos
and posts documenting his various card and tape punch systems and his
card scanning technique. He even shared a small library of BASIC
programs that he has managed to liberate from their punched cards.
Awesome job, keep up the great work! MSW: Paleoferrosaurus sure has
some nice toys. The YouTube videos are short and sweet demonstrating
various paper to computer interfaces.
Final Comments: Great work on a variety of card and paper tape readers,
minicomputers, and even some more modern microcontrollers. Still
battling the ravages of decaying rubber, Paleoferrosaurus managed to
establish some useful workflows, and get a few conversion and transfer
utilities programmed up and shared. What a wonderful look at this era
of computing!
Final Status: Prize "Winner"!!
epooch
epooch's avatar twitter : @ep00ch
Platform: Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10
Project : Change of plans! I just bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10
Micro Color Computer and I intend to spend the month using it,
connecting it, and upgrading it.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Last time it was a mouse-based project and we know
how well that went...
Halftime Update: Good series of posts demonstrating how epooch is
getting aquainted with his TRS-80 MC-10 and getting it connected to his
Mac. MSW: epooch has a cassette server online, something I would
consider if I had an FC-6 for the FX-850P. They appear to be fairly
rare! BASIC programming on his Tandy MC-10 rounds up the entry so far.
Final Comments: epooch started strong with his new MC-10, with lots of
progress and updates on connectivity projects. He was able to program
up an MC10 binary to audio conversion utility, a cassette server, and a
small Minesweeper game. Although he lost momentum at halftime, he ended
with a schematic for an MC-10 to EXORbus adapter. Great effort!

__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: println("Good luck urbancamo!!")
Halftime Update: Urbancamo made the jump from mini-computers to pocket
computers and started with the laborious work of getting all his Casio
BASIC documention into an easy-to-use state. Great start! MSW: As for
me, I'm still transferring the Casio FX-850P manual online, covering
all parts that are interesting from a Casio BASIC perspective!
Final Comments: urbancamo gave us an entertaining deep dive into the
CASIO FX-850P. From publishing an online manual for BASIC programming
and creating a CASIO character set to Unicode converter, and a serial
cable for the very capable calculator, he really stuck to his project
this time. Great work!

SuperNick
SuperNick's avatar Affiliation: Australian Computer Museum Society
Platform: 386
Project : I'm going to attempt to restore functionality of a Data
General Dasher 386-25K Model 91862 PC from the early 1990s. There's no
POST as far as I can tell but it does power on, even though there looks
to have been some liquid damage after opening it. I'd be keen to play
some Microsoft Solitaire if I can get this beast purring again.
__________________________________________________________________
Halftime Update: SuperNick started late, but already has put in the
time to give us some background on his Dasher, and clean the
motherboard. Lots of intricate trace repair work in his future!
Final Comments: SuperNick gave us a ton of photos while documenting his
progress restoring a Data General Dasher 386-25K PC. After a bunch of
capacitor relacements and hard work, the computer ended the month with
the same problems it started with. Oh well, RetroChallenge is all about
the journey (in circles)!

Abraham Vreugdenhil
Abraham Vreugdenhil's avatar twitter : @a_avretro
Platform: 1 Bit microprocessor
Project : Last winter i build a system around the mc14500b 1-Bit
Motorola 1-Bit microprocessor. Now it is time to organize all the
information about this project to make this available for the wide
audience.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: We 8-bitters have it good... Let's see what Abraham
can do with just 1 bit. I'm looking forward to some ladder logic for
that line-following robot!
Halftime Update: Abraham gave us one great post on the MC14500b
processor. We want to see more videos and details on your robot!
Final Comments: Abraham's project ended up being a great reference and
'how-to' for development with the MC14500b 1-bit microprocessor. This
little processor has intrigued me in the past, but the learning curve
seemed steep with its very limited market niche. Abraham's great posts
are encouraging me to take another look at it!

Tim Holyoake
Tim Holyoake's avatar twitter : @psychotimmy
Platform: Compukit UK101
Project : A re-implementation from scratch of "The Valley", as
published in Computing Today magazine, April 1982. I originally started
working on this during August, but the project has fallen by the
wayside since. The RetroChallenge seems an ideal opportunity to start
this project again. No cheating - everything will be / has been typed
in by me (and debugged!), just as I did in 1982 on my Sharp MZ-80K.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Projects that have "fallen by the wayside" are our
speciality here at the RetroChallenge! Hopefully you get more nostalgia
than carpal tunnel doing all of that typing-in.
Halftime Update: Great screenshots show off Tim's progress on this
BASIC adventure. MSW:After the marathon typing event that saw Tim enter
14 pages of BASIC, Tim has been ticking off his to-do list for this fun
little adventure/barbarian game on his UK101.
Final Comments: Tim excelled this RetroChallenge, giving us great
regular posts and awesome progress. After typing in the game, he made
some nice improvements and ended with getting it to run as a 16K
version. Awesome job- one of my faves!

Implenting CARDIAC for MS-DOS using Turbo C++ to experience how the
programming experience and I as a programmer have changed in 3 decades.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Emulated cardboard! Is this "the metaverse" that I
have been hearing so much about?
Halftime Update: Wow, looks like Harry is almost done and we are only
at the halfway mark! Clean-looking interface for his CARDIAC emulator.
MSW: Harry is implementing a simulator of a card based educational aid
and decided he needed vintage PC hardware to match his Turbo C++ dev
environment.
Final Comments: Harry made amazing progress on his CARDIAC cardboard
computer empulator project and topped it off with a neat looking paint
program named "Splatter". He showed tons of dedication, using Turbo C++
and MS-DOS. Be sure to check out his half-time CARDIAC video. Great
work!

components and connect to I/O bus of TRS-80 Model 4. Confirm successful
execution of BASIC test programs as described in the book.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: "Universal Computer Interface" - Oh no! Now there are
15 competing standards!
Halftime Update: Some great photos here of jrbtrs80's repairs and
modifications to his UCIS boards.
Final Comments: jrbtrs80 spent the month adapting his UCIS system to
run on his TRS-80 Model 4. After the delicate task of connecting up an
external bus using an IDC50 Breakout Board, he repaired some of the
accessory cards and ended up with a working system! Great intro to this
unusual system.
Final Status: Finished the Month!
Pawlicker
Pawlicker's avatar Platform: Sun4u (Sun Ultra 45 Workstation)
Project : I'm going to make a Pleroma instance (
https://pleroma.social,
same protocol as Mastodon) run on the last Sun SPARC workstation model
made, a Sun Ultra 45. I literally came up with this idea last night
right before October 1st but tomorrow is Saturday and I'm off work and
I'll be able to start on it and have a nice post up then. If I can't
get it working there, I've got various other vintage non-x86 systems I
can attempt it on. This is also interesting because Pleroma and
ActivityPub/the fediverse is the true future of social media and
decentralized like e-mail is. It's also much better than Twitter.
https://bae.st/@pawlicker
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: I like the Twitter vs. Pleroma/Mastadon rivalry going
on this year. Welcome to the RetroChallenge Pawlicker!
Halftime Update: MSW: Debian and BSD variants on vintage Sparc hardware
- impressed so much progress has been made knowing what a massive time
sink this sort of thing is!
Final Comments: Pawlicker's project / free speech manifesto took on a
whole new light upon the release of twitter files shorrtly after he
wrapped up. That he managed to get his Sun Ultra 45 /SPARC "ewaste"
running Pleroma and had some time left to do some work on installing
GNU Social.
Final Status: Finished the Month!
48kRAM
48kRAM's avatar twitter : @48kRAM
Platform: BBC Master 128
Project : An amazing friend sent me a BBC Master 128 earlier this year,
but it needs some TLC. Let's see if I can get it up and running fully
in a month.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Who's this friend, how do I meet them, and do they
have any more vintage computers lying around?
Halftime Update: 48kRAM has his BBC Master 128 on the bench and is
documenting his progress via his twitch live streams... This might be a
first for the RetroChallenge!
https://www.twitch.tv/48kram
Final Comments: Although we did not see many blog posts, 48kRAM kept us
updated on his entertaining twitch streams. After lots of probing and
chip swapping he made great progress, and ultimately ended up with a
working BBC Master 128!
Final Status: Finished the Month!
leaded solder
leaded solder's avatar twitter : @leadedsolder
Platform: NEC mini5 word processor
Project : In Japan, NEC released a series of word processors that are
actually secret CP/M computers. I've bought two, so I will try and run
Zork on one, and fix another. Why bother buying a broken one? It came
with Tetris. Yep, Tetris for a word processor, which I plan to dump.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Word processor Tetris? Is it text based? Like, you
drop the L's and T's and I's down the display? I need to see this...
Halftime Update: Leaded Solder has a great start here with an extensive
write-up on the shipping damage repair of his NEC "wapuro". MSW:
Fascinating blog on restoring Japanese vintage word processors!
Final Comments: Leaders Solder had another solid RetroChallenge entry.
What great coverage of the NEC mini5 lin e of CP/M-based word
processors archiving software and the instrucitonal video, assembly
programming and repairing a mini5SX! Nice work!

Dare
Dare's avatar Platform: Xenix
Project : Add support for Xenix filesystems to my retro-fuse project.
Retro-fuse is a user-space filesystem (FUSE) for accessing ancient unix
filesystems on modern OSes. I need to learn how to install and run
Xenix systems in simulation, reverse-engineer their filesystem layouts,
and adapt existing ancient Unix code to read and write these
filesystems.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: TIL that Microsoft licensed XENIX expecting that UNIX
would be its operating system of the future when personal computers
became powerful enough. Oddly, it was Apple that ended up with the Unix
OS. Anyway, looks like a useful project!
Halftime Update: Dare is just getting the ball rolling here. Hopefully
we will see some progress as the month progresses.
Final Comments: Even though jay had some IRL prorities that limited his
time with the RetroChallenge, he made some prgress documenting the
start of of his XENIX FUSE module and getting an emulator up and
running. See you next time!

Halftime Update: MSW: Sergey is creating an open source 486 mboard.
Back in the day I worked for a company that did the same thing. Kudos!
Final Comments: Serge is well known for his expertise with vintage
Intel systems. Awesome to have him join us and make great progress,
ultimately releasing v0.4 of his open-source ATX 486 motherboard. Great
work!
Final Status: Finished the Month!
phil butler
phil butler's avatar Affiliation: Australian Computer Museum Society
Platform: SC/MP Miniscamp and Maximite
Project : Like me, you may have a 1977 EA Miniscamp microcomputer
tucked away. It is fun to get out every now and again, but it is very
tiresome having to enter in the machine code via the front panel
switches. And also like me, you probably have a Maximite computer
tucked into the same cupboard next to the Miniscamp. This simple
interface will allow the Maximite to drive the front panel switches of
the Miniscamp, thereby allowing the tedious procedure of programming
the Miniscamp to be programmed, and for those programs to be stored on
the Maximite and quickly loaded into the Miniscamp. Other goals: -
Expand the RAM - Run KITBUG - Add a USB serial interface
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Well that definitely is an handsome scamp of a
microcomputer! I love that the "Mini" scamp is 10 times the size of the
"Maxi" mite. What a pair!
Halftime Update: Phil gave us a ton of documentation on what appears to
be a completed project. More than enough details here to make your own
interface.
Final Comments: So much beautiful brushed metal! In fact Phil's entire
project write up and pictures are a beautiful how-to for his
multi--generational hobby computer solution.
Final Status: Finished the Month!

twitter : @craigtbradley
Platform: Apple II and Macintosh
Project : I will be attempting to boot an Apple IIe from an AppleShare
file server. The twist is I will be using an Apple IIe Card installed
in a 68K Macintosh to boot via LocalTalk to AppleShare Server 3.03
running on an SE/30. I will also be trying to do it all with original
hardware and software. I have a stretch goal of trying to do this via
firstly LocalTalk and then Ethernet.
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Great convoluted project... I love this idea!
Halftime Update: As with many RetroChallenge entries, Craig has
encountered a repair project just start his actual project. MSW: CraigB
is having to call on his parts bin to get a MAC LC475 to play ball!
Final Comments: I love that CraigB used an old Mac to netboot an even
older Apple IIe inside another old Mac! It is surprising to recall the
longevity that the Apple II had in its various forms. Nice work with
this Rube Goldberg configuration!

progress. We can't wait to see how it turns out and if he can get that
OS finished.
Halftime Update: One post from Mars to get us up to speed with his SBC
project. MSW: Mars solved his VGA sync problem with the old 'turn it
off and on again!
Final Comments: Mars made some good progress on his KittyOS for the
CAT-644. This is certainly a big project to tackle. We hope to see him

Platform: Windows 2000/XP
Project : I want to make a Twitter client for Windows 2000/XP (maybe
also 98 if I can find time to make some widgets that work on 2000 but
not 98). I started this a while ago but didn't get all of it finished.
Maybe Retro Challenge is enough of a motivation to revive it? It's
going to be an awful twitter client, but I think it should work!
__________________________________________________________________
Initial Comments: Grackle68K was born from the RetroChallenge too!
Great project idea.
Halftime Update: mich181189 might have bitten off more than he can chew
with this project, but he has given us a few posts keeping us upated on
his struggle. MSW: mich181189 uses the phrase 'discustingly modern' to
describe what he is planning on doing - for his 'awful' twitter client.
Just remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
