Price drop on our ZuluSCSI RP2040s and Greaseweazle v4s. Enjoy.

Hey everyone, we're not really social media people, but if you want us to stay here and make occasional posts about our new stuff, would you let us know? Otherwise we'll move to e.g. Mastodon where we'll not be forced to log in every 30 days to, well, say nothing.

@WoRCExpo Not so top secret... just a surprise! And very rare. Hands-on for everyone!

We're back in stock of Snark Barker PCBs - now in blue! decromancer.ca/snark-barker.h…

Thanks to @craig1black for covering David Gesswein's MFM Emulator! We are proud to sell this (and our "special edition" version) on our web store. youtube.com/watch?v=q__R8k…

The first QBones have been mailed off to their new homes. There's a little surprise in every box - hope you enjoy it! Get in our mentions with pics of your QBone in action. We'd love to see what you do with yours.

Our final blog post reveals the QBone Yukon Gold edition - for the discerning vintage computer enthusiast. decromancer.ooo/posts/qbone/yu… Both Green and Yukon Gold QBones are now available at: decromancer.ooo/qbone/

Great news - the final components for QBones are finally here! They should arrive in our store this week. Today's (penultimate) QBone blog post finishes the story of our card handle design.

Unfortunately, the final component for us to put QBones up for sale is still in transit. We've been told it may take another few weeks to arrive. We'll continue to blog until the part arrives, but posts are going to be a little more infrequent.

In Part 5 of our QBone blog series, we discuss re-designing QBus card handles for the QBone.

@cyberat2600 As soon as this last delivery arrives, the store will open. We're at the mercy of DHL.

Taking a break from blog posts this week... you can blame a slow delivery for the remaining bit we need to start selling QBones as to why.

@cyberat2600 We also sell MFM emulators which will work with any of the RQDX controllers, if that tickles your fancy. Available today. decromancer.ooo/mfm-emulator/

Part 3 of our QBone blog series is on mounting the BeagleBone correctly - a tricky problem! decromancer.ooo/posts/qbone/in…

Today's QBone post (Part 4) covers the difficulty of obtaining out-of-production QBus driver chips. decromancer.ooo/posts/qbone/bu…

@cyberat2600 Yes! That's exactly what it's designed to do. It'll also give you the full complement of RAM for your machine, if you haven't already maxed it out.

In Part 2 of our series on the QBone, we talk about redesigning the board to replace an end-of-life component: the Altera CPLD. decromancer.ooo/posts/qbone/cp…

Excited to start telling the story of the QBone, how it helps bring DEC PDP-11s alive, and why we decided to start making them. decromancer.ooo/posts/qbone/in… #pdp11 #dec #vintagecomputer
