Upgrading the Commodore PET 2001-8: Part 2

Upgrading the Commodore PET 2001-8: Part 2

Jan 19, 2016

To quickly recap from Part 1, I had purchased the PET microSD with datasette power and Commodore PET 2001 ROM/RAM upgrade board from Tynemouth Software, and I thought I’d document the upgrade process on my Commodore PET 2001-8 for those interested in doing it themselves. As we left off, I...

Review: PDP PS3 Versus Controller (plus additional new Retro Freak console information)

Review: PDP PS3 Versus Controller (plus additional new Retro Freak console information)

Jan 10, 2016

I bought the PDP PS3 Versus Controller specifically to use with the Retro Freak console from Cyber Gadget that I reviewed here, although this can of course be used with an actual PlayStation 3, PC, or other devices that can utilize standard USB controllers. As you’ll note from the Retro...

Review: Sound Intone I65 Stereo Foldable Headphone

Jan 10, 2016

The Sound Intone I65 Foldable Headphones are really nice and an amazing price for what you get–$18.98 on Amazon at the time of this review. First, the headphones are very comfortable. The headpiece adjusts to the perfect length and the ear piece is nicely cushioned and a generous size so...

Review: iOttie Easy One Touch 3 Car Mount

Jan 10, 2016

I was hesitant about reviewing yet another car mount, but I’m glad I did for the iOttie Easy One Touch 3 Car Mount. The build quality alone is enough to elevate it above most other car mounts, but it’s the wonderful configuration options that really set this apart. The front...

Review: Laura Sullivan’s Calm Within – Music for Relaxation of Body and Mind

Dec 30, 2015

I often like to listen to music with a good pair of headphones when I’m reading or working – and particularly when I’m in the middle of writing – when concentration and needing to tune out the distracting sounds of the outside world are critical. Of course I can’t just...

Review: KOVOT Gamer Chip and Dip Dish

Dec 16, 2015

For the videogame fan who thought they had everything, there’s now a chip and dip dish that’s designed to look like a game controller to prove them wrong. It’s available in black or white. I’m specifically reviewing the black one, which looks a bit like a game controller Bat-Man might...

Review: intelliGLASS Hardened Glass Screen Protector (plus coupon code)

Dec 16, 2015

With our youngest daughter now at 14 months old and counting, she’s long since been into all of our electronics, particularly the touchscreen ones.
