Amiga detour
Added 2025-05-26 12:30:20 +0000 UTCCommodore CDTV Cube: I imagine this concept as slimmed down, upgraded late '90s rerelease, as you wouldn't be able to fit normal CDTV guts into such a small space. I gave it monster-specs, as far as the Amiga 500-base goes. Honestly I don't much care for the early CD-game era... it was all bluster.
Gave it a fancy wired dual analog controller. I suppose with the center buttons, the analog sticks can't be in the way for the thumb, so I placed them high.
Slim 5.25" drive: Unlike with the 3.5" floppy drives, I've never seen a slim version of the 5.25. It has this disk locking lever and I think I struggled with a solution for an hour before coming up with one that just rotates a little, allowing for a longer design. I did a redesign of the NEC PC-8801 FE here.
I want to do something with the LT-1 2" floppy disk format at some point. The disks look quite neat...

These are just a collection of loose ramblings and screenshots I kept as I re-learned Workbench 1.3 in FS-UAE on Linux. Did pixel the Castle Master Duo and a 1084S monitor though.

Could you maybe do a recording of you drawing these someday? I'm always impressed by how your hardware concepts look both very slick and painterly at the same time
