These Bring Back Memories

[Rat]

Wife decided it was time we had a proper declutter of ALL cupboards in the house
She asked me if these were any good, probably not but I can't bring myself to throw them away lol

Now Im sure I still have 2 programmers in the shed, will have to dig them out just to look at them lol

Ah the memories :Hit:

Cool to see those old cards again The hobby will never be quite like that again but it's always fun remembering the first time you saw a black screen become a picture and thinking "omg it bloody works" haha

I was in my lock up garage over Christmas digging out the karaoke machine and in a box I stumbled across my old UP-48A

Thats what it was all about.
It wasn't about watching free tv although that was a bonus, it was just about saying " omg it bloody works "

I remember searching hi and low for a box with a rom10 a16,also remember too well the bits of fiberglass stuck in my hand after cleaning chip's and the board, and i still remember the secret password DEEDBEEFBAADF00D ... could go on and on.

How about all the stories about the database,how hard it was to get a copy (i found 2 sets of keys on it for very old boxes with the atmels also on the simm) and speaking of simm's i remember people saying about a simm board that could give you the boxkey with a voltmeter,they got laughed at and told to wise up only for a simm to be released years later

just remembered the unloopers to +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---++-++++++++++++++++++++++++---+++-------------++++++...

 

[silverdale]

I remember them all very well especially my first ever Pace the bit when I got it to stop giving me 8888 or - - - - and 511 came on

I thought " No other f****r can do this !!" then signing up with the shack forum and finding out half of Britain were at it !

 

[silverdale]

The good old days hey !, frustrating as they were. I was in it to basically to see if I could do it and beat it. Nowadays every Tom Dick and Harry just use AliExpress and a usb stick, not much fun in that for me.

A couple of year back while walking I saw about 6 pace boxes in a skip. I nearly climbed in for them, it never leaves you

They said with the dm500's "No good now, you might as well skim them" I kept a few just in case
