  1. The great 2024/2025/2026 tech firings, and what happens to all that clue

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    So yeah, I was caught up in the Meta/Facebook layoffs in March 2026.

  2. Being accused of taking down a Data Centre, or "what happens when adrian is the only one who isn't oversubscribed on power?"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    This happened circa what, 2008?

  3. Installing a 32k DS1386 into an SGI Indy that expects an 8k DS1386

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    The TL;DR is - you can't just plug a 32k DS1386 into an SGI Indy and have it work, as a bunch of stuff is wrong.

  4. Blinking the SGI Indy Power Light

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I figured out what broke in netbsd to make the R5000SC I have here poweroff during startup.

  5. Reverse Engineering the SGI Indy Monitor Detection, or "thank god someone added SGI indy / indigo 2 support to MAME"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I have a bit of a soft spot in my heart for the SGI Indy and (purple, not teal, heh) Indigo 2.

  6. A tale of an SGI Indy, a Sony power supply, and how to keep the fan spinning

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    Let's not dwell on why I bought an SGI Indy.

  7. Installing FreeBSD-15 directly on an SSD, or "wait this 2007 era AMD K8 1RU server doesn't boot from USB flash?"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I .. ok let's not talk about why I'm putting freebsd-15 on an old K8 era box.

  8. Getting a Gotek working on a PCW9512

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I acquired a PCW9512 motherboard a year or so ago and I really wanted to get it up and going so I can build a little case for it and turn it into a proper CP/M plus hack machine.

  9. Fixing a dead Amstrad PCW9512+, Part 2

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    In my previous post I yanked enough of the PCW9512+ apart and debugged why the power supply just plainly wasn't working.

  10. fixing a dead Amstrad PCW9512+

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I'm on a bit of a "i wish I had a PCW as a kid" kick.

  11. On "repairing this commodore 1551 drive" and "don't plug in the head cable backwards"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I bought a "dead" 1551 drive a few months ago.

  12. Reinstalling AmigaOS 3.1.4 on my Amiga 2000 or "oh crap it didn't boot"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    This post is about AmigaOS 3.1.4 on my Amiga 2000.

  13. resistance is not futile, or "why does my amiga 1000 keyboard not work?"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I gave my amiga 1000 keyboard cable to a friend so she could complete her Amiga 1000 setup.

  14. I got lucky with an Acorn Electron

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    Ah, the Acorn Electron.

  15. Who's the /BOSS on the Amiga 2000 ?

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I slipped and bought a TF536 to put into my Amiga 2000.

  16. damnit i slipped and (mostly) built an amiga 500

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    EDIT - the original article has an image of the PCB with the floppy power connector mounted the WRONG WAY.

  17. Installing a kickstart ROM adapter in my Amiga 1000, or "Nothing works, and nothing makes sense"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    The Amiga 1000 is a slick looking machine.

  18. Fixing a third commodore plus/4, or "god damnit adrian stop it"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    Here's a fun and easy one to fix.

  19. Getting new simgen backdrops on my amiga 500

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    This'll be nice and short.

  20. It took me WAY too long to get this gotek to work...

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    The short version - when you buy an actual OG Gotek with the OG Gotek firmware, it doesn't work in any convenient way that is documented on any of the retro computing sites, because you DEFINITELY need to flash it with different firmware.

  21. Amiga 1200 - Kickstart 3.1.4 upgrade, but not upgrading to AmigaOS 3.1

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    So I splurged a couple bucks on the updated AmigaOS 3.1.4 from Hyperion.

  22. At least cross compiling for the Amiga 500 is easier than the 16 bit DOS mode PC stuff

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    I wanted to hack on Amigaterm (https://aminet.net/package/comm/term/amigaterm) a bit, but I found out that someone already had done that (https://aminet.net/package/comm/term/amigaterm_enh).

  23. Getting stuff onto the Amiga 500, or "holy crap please include bootstrapping serial file transfer utilities in your OS"

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    Yes, I know I'm ranting about 1980s OSes, but to be quite frank, modern OSes on a variety of hardware still have a similar problem.

  24. Hacking up an Amiga 500 for 1MB chip RAM and 512k slow RAM

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    In a previous post I dumped a bunch of information I had learnt about what had happened in open source Amiga hackery.

  25. Figuring out how Amiga 500 RAM expansion projects work

    (Adrian Chadd's Ramblings)

    (Wow, what a shift in topics here..)
