This was the first computer I spent any significant amount of time on. It's a Z80 machine with 64kB of RAM running CP/M. We had the dual floppy expansion and a nice dot matrix printer to go with it. We had the full Star Office suite and a few other odds and ends but of course all I needed was BASIC.

The display controller was entirely text-based; it had no graphical capabilities. However the character set was loaded into RAM at startup, so it was fully configurable.

I would love to see what I could do with this machine now, given all that I've learned since. It would be fun to try to develop new hardware expansion cards for it, or write some new software in Z80 assembly.

Android Pie is now too close for OnePlus 3/3T

Android Pie is now too close for @OnePlus 3/3T #AndroidPie #OnePlus #LegacyDevices

OnePlus community member “David Y” projected a photo of OnePlus 3 running on Android Pie.

Though it was seen that the build running on OnePlus 3 was infact the very old edition which was marked as Oxygen OS 9.0.

This all conversation started when an user stated there hasn’t been any concrete proof of OnePlus working on Android Pie for their legacy models 3/3T as OnePlus was teasing Android Pie…
