This happened to me: I ordered a cheap UV EPROM eraser on eBay with three-day delivery. It was literally drop-shipped from Amazon, on an Amazon truck, in an Amazon bag. I could have gotten the same (crappy, simple) product on Amazon a day e

For summer vacation, I’ve been reading some histories of modern computing (electronic, digital, programmable). One of the ENIAC’s first tasks was to run Monte Carlo simulations to help design the H bomb. The first Cray jobs also used Monte

The site appears to be down, and I only have the manual that came with my revision :/ How does it work? Do you have to toggle in a serial boot loader first? I can’t imagine Lee adding all the hardware necessary to implement serial DMA…

The version I bought came with a parallel port, which can be used either for 1) GPIO - so you can control external devices. or 2) controlling the device, with ELF-LINK.BAS! Now it looks like Lee's replaced the parallel port with some 7
