Another retro adventure. It's a fun hobby!Welcome to Show 051! This week's Topic: My PX-8 Virtual Disk Drive Adventure! This week I cover the trials and tribulations of setting up a floppy disk emulator program for the Epson PX-8 laptop. It involves soldering and creative software trickery. What more could you ask for in a retro computing project? Topics and links discussed in the podcast... A while back I did a book review on Digital Retro. It's a great book, and here's the webpage for the author, Gordon Laing...There is more to retro than computing - check out Retro Thing, the independent guide to retro technology. And definitely have a look at the section on Classic Computing! Be sure to send any comments, questions or feedback to retrobits@gmail.com. For online discussions on Retrobits Podcast topics, check out the Retrobits Podcast forum on the PETSCII Forums page! Our Theme Song is "Sweet" from the "Re-Think" album by Galigan. Thanks for listening! - Earl

Join us for the Retrobits Podcast! We talk about computing like we did it "back in the day". If it's got 8 bits, paper tape, a cartridge slot, CP/M, BASIC in ROM, or if it's just plain old...the Retrobits Podcast is the place to hear about it.
