Yea, same in my previous job too, MeanWell was always my first choice.

This MeanWell RS-15 is so small and cute! 🥰

I challenge anyone to beat getting four networked #Quantel machines at the same time in 2026...

Thursdays 😵‍💫

yea, well they made Myst for anything they could find! Being a game that just displayed static images and the odd bit of video it would run on pretty much anything. The joys of early 'multimedia'.

I think i have Myst for the Atari JaguarCD 🤔

I am 1992 so there's a few good options TBH, but i have always had a soft-spot for dark horror. So i am going with Candyman. Interestingly directed by Bernard Rose who made another movie i like, a computer hacking story called Smart Money which was only ever shown once on BBC 1 in 1986.

Three artworks painted on a #Quantel DPB-7001 Digital Paint Box by Martin Holbrook. These were made during the early period of the DPB Paintbox in the 1980s.

There are only TWO working DPB Paintboxes worldwide, one will be at #Retrofest in Swindon, UK on May 30th and 31st.

I love the older parts and buildings of #manchester 😍. This is on Port Street.

oops... if you had clip ins like SPDs you'd be able to go with only one pedal!😉

i am not coding 68k but i am watching Artemis, i could turn on my Quantel in sympathy, it has a 68040... 🤷

Dated 1997, could this be any more 1990s and #Quantel HAL influenced? 😂 #bykergrove

My wife currently plays Roller Derby for Rainy City (Manchester)! It's an awesome sport!

#Quantel 2103-87 Clipnet P2. Allowed the Quantel Henry and Editbox to share video from another machine in real time over a 1Gbit fiber network. Looks to be dated around the middle of 2000. 14 layer PCB too which is impressive!

Been playing Pokémon Go since August 2016 so i am coming up to my 10 year anniversary 😱. Today i hit Level 70 😱😱. 85+ million xp, 19,500 km walked and 81,000 pokemon caught. @pokemongoapp.bsky.social

Dixons?

gotcha btw if there's a chance to meet IRL, LMK 😉

i have no idea what TRG Sunday is but i do have a Palm IIIxe 🤷

looks like it's spreading!😱

@antanddec.com

Some original GFX from ITV, dated 2004 🤷

30 years ago this amount of Quantel would have set you back £1/3 million! In 2026 it's 50p, a Kia Ora Orange and an old Conker.

you are a legend, keep fighting, we are here with you 👍

Looks like AI or Unreal 5?

finally after two months of agonising, i am free

Not at all, this was totally expected. I am in Köln, Deutschland restoring a Quantel DPB-7001 'classic' Digital Paint Box, it hasn't been used in decades. I expected a whole load of tantalum capacitors to explode, but they can be replaced.

Powering on a 1980s Quantel DPB-7001 wearing an 808 State T-Shirt, with an Atari ST and a Panasonic ENG tube camera in the background. Could this be any more retro? It's a shame the #Quantel explodes though!

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

Back in 2016... #sony

Something you don't see often! A commercial SMD Hard Disk Emulator. The Arraid EID-1C, emulates many SMD hard disks and writes out to a SCSIFLash by SolidStateDisks. The EID-1C is the caching version which caches all the data in RAM. This one is configured for my Quantel DPB-7001 Paintbox.
