Titanium Diver 300M today

Like a few of the others who've recently posted, i had no idea that Spie had passed away. I've been on OcUK for a long time now (I was a lurker well before the nuke in 2002) and had many interactions with him in the earlier years of OcUK particularly in the Photo forum, all of them positive. My...

Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is on the wrist today

The replacement soundbox arrived, housed in a smart 3d printed case, as did a new badge to replace the knackered one on the front of the box. With this nu_io in situ I managed to boot the machine for the first time. The HDD is a noisy 400MB scsi seagate with a vanilla NeXTSTEP 3.3 install. Sadly...

I had LoV on my slightly upgraded A1200. One of the biggest problems with this game was the manual give you no clue on how to play it!

Yup, Frontier was impressive but zero fun to play.

Ah ok, sorry. I suspect those are for MO drive (the original cube with 030 mobo shipped with a magneto-optical drive rather than hdd) and floppy. My machine is scsi only - the left-most connector is scsi.

I thought this post on Reddit summed the NeXTcube up quite nicely “Display Postscript (resolution/media independence), multimedia email, built in ethernet and networking, DSP co-processor (Motorola 56K), the (comparatively cheap) laser printer using the cube/slab as the RIP (400DPI, fast...

@Armageus the white slot is used for expanding the DSP’s ram. The DSP 56001 has 96k but I believe it can be expanded with a custom 576k simm The black connector is where the mobo connects to the NextBus slot on the machines backplane. NextBus was a variation on NuBus.

I've got a new badge on the way and I'll touch up the paint. The main thing coming from the US is a NU_IO Soundbox. This is a modern replacement for the original Soundbox. It acts as a hub which you plug the keyboard into (the mouse plugs into the keyboard). However, an OG Soundbox cannot be...

My first proper pc was the one i bought before going to uni in 1997 AMD K6 200Mhz 32MB Matrox Mystique Some form of Sound Blaster 8x CDROM Iiyama 15" 1024x768 CRT I added a Maxigamer 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics to it not soon after.

I finally decided tick off a machine i've had on my retro-collecting wish list for years and years and years - a NeXTcube. The spec is 68040 25Mhz, 16MB. I just need a few items to hook it up to an lcd as i dont have the accompanying megapixel crt. There's no room in the retro loft for...

Just been playing this for the first time in ages, so the update to 2.1 (metro etc) is completely new to me. Why are half the key bindings now knackered? Can’t aim down any weapon any more. When I quick hack someone the key bindings also seem completely broken. Why are the police...

Finally had chance to give this a whirl, testing with Cyberpunk. Ok, I’m impressed! No ghosting issues that I can see, big boost to fps, can’t really tell if there’s any lag (but I’m not particularly sensitive to lag, or probably cant tell!). I went straight back to dlss 2.5.1 so haven’t tried...

Wow, the frame gen image quality is grabage! The ghosting looks terrible too.

A bit of quartz today

Today‘s watch - the GMT

Those Sugess watches are meant to be amazing. The YouTube vids of the tourbillon ones look astonishing for the price
