I'd love to use Emacs, but I've been using vi since 1996. I can't figure out how to quit.

Will do. That's actually an mt32-pi, which is a Raspberry Pi based MT-32 emulator which works pretty much flawlessly and handles General MIDI as well.

The mt32-pi has really taken off in the MiSTerFPGA community, so there's less resources about using it with vintage hardware (or places to buy prebuilt ones that use a MIDI jack) but it works great for that.

What makes hardware “retro” is certainly an interesting question. This machine is 24 years old, although I’m using it to recreate an experience closer to thirty years old.

At the same the Pentium III came out, the Apple II line would have been 22 years old. Was the Apple II considered “retro” in 1999? It was only six years discontinued at that point…

I think retro will invariably be the generation of computer the person in question used as a youth. Maybe.

I really enjoyed S3 but I’d not call it Emmy worthy.

The way the Nabu community has just sort of sprung up almost overnight and made all of these amazing mods is fantastic.
