Atari Portfolio : batterie faible ? Change les piles. Continue la mission.
L’Atari Portfolio de 1989 est la preuve que le “mobile computing” existait avant le mot “mobile”.
Juste avec plus de talent et moins de batterie.

A photo of a Gemini PDA - a clamshell palmtop computer with a keyboard similar to a Psion Series 5, bit with a colour screen. The Gemini is running Pygenda under Linux. Pygenda is in Week View, with a layout like a traditional paper diary. Various events are shown and are highlighted in yellow (for work entries) or blue (for personal entries).
I've released version 0.3.8 of my WIP #Psion Agenda-like "Pygenda" app targeting keyboard-equipped PDAs running Linux (e.g. #GeminiPDA, #CosmoCommunicator, #PinePhone with keyboard).
The main additions this release are:
• Anniversaries – something that Psion […]

Custom build, day 20
The end, I guess.
The flat usb cable I'm using doesn't seem to be providing enough energy, even if it's supposed to. Either that or something isn't liking what is happening between the raspberry and the screen, so, it's over

A Raspberry 4 board screwed against a wooden board. Attached to it are some protective acrylic layers, a battery and a ribbon cable that works as an extender for micro SD cards.
Custom build, day 19
The flat usb-a to usb-c cable is assembled and worked with the bb keyboard I got.
Now I need to... sigh... sandwich everything together in a way the cables can actually reach the ports and not be weirdly stretched.

Custom build, day 18
... Another try, another failture. I actually still need to connect the screen via USB to have touch enabled.
There I go buying another overpriced part (that wasn't supposed to be overpriced if not for the taxes)

The main text is a reference to one of the best games that never were, Final Fantasy versus XIII, now possibly revived as Verum Rex. Photo shows a mdf board with seven screw supports attached to it, a bottom casing with the dimensions of the raspberry pi board, a ribbon cable twisted and passing through the casing twice, and a few other parts (speakers, power cable, expanded pvc protection around the screen)
Custom build - DAY 15 (aka vsXIII)
THE SCREEN IS MOUNTED ON THE BODY
now I need to connect the pi and secure the battery somehow...
I fear there might not be enough room for the underside of the piSugar board.
Next episode: put the raspberry on top of it all

Custom build day 14
Six solder points, seven holes and supports, and a few OS configurations later... this atrocity is ready to be assembled.
I'll need an extra set of hands.

Custom build day 13
Right after Friday the 13th, what is luck?
Began re-drilling some holes on a raspberry case I got, to adapt it to m3 instead of m2 screws.
It's not fun, I'm very screwed.
Also cut the base board that should fit everything together.

added a nice splash screen of Xenia that fits the build SO WELL! Done by @thegreenherring.neocities.org

Having Pico-8 running on it is great already!
No pics today, maybe next time.

It's a mess, but it's finally coming together. (small edit, oops)

My old phone has officially become my Palmtop :)
I'm going to get so much writing done now I don't have to hoof my laptop around with me.

Diesen #retromontag gibt es einen HP #Palmtop von 1998 - den 620LX. Trotz fehlendem Sync-Kabel ist der Datenaustausch über die 4 MB starke CF-Karte gewährleistet 🤓 jetzt brauche ich nur noch eine Wifi-PCMCIA-Karte. #retro #retrocomputing
