Recently found your channel on YouTube and love watching your videos, as being a child of the 80’s so many of your videos bring back the nostalgic feeling of using a Commodore 64 at my parents house or using a Commodore Pet at school. Keep up the great work!

Hi Adrian, keep up the interesting work! Are you aware the 68764 EPROM is a drop in replacement for the 5150 masked ROM? No adapter needed. I worked at Mostek in the Telecom department and I was wondering if you realize that some 4116 RAMs require other voltage in addition to +5? The MK4116 was a 5 volt only device but not so with the original Texas Instrument device. Maybe that is why you have some failed RAM. I have the company data books if needed. I enjoy watching your videos!

Just wanted to say I'm really enjoying the videos on the illegal Apple clone – I have one of those! Mine even has the same shortcut hotkeys for AppleSoft commands. I'm the original owner of mine – it never had a badge, and contain a shameless ripoff of the original ROMs. Bought around 1980/1981.

Just wanted to say I love your videos and they've served as real inspiration for me to learn more about restoring old electronics. Didn't get the chance to say hi at VCF Midwest, but keep up the great work!

Just wanted to thank you for all the videos! I am a Commodore fan that grew up on the C64. Your videos covering Commodore systems have been extremely helpful in my recent hobby of restoring these incredible systems!

My wife thinks that we are doppelgangers, lol I have been in electronics and Home Computers. Started with Radio Shack Model 1 with the expansion unit. Then worked with Apple II. My first purchased computer was a VIC20 and on and on… Love your content and watch almost nothing but You Tube vids.

Hi Adrian, I saw your video on the Sup R Terminal 80 column card that I designed and patented the VBC video control to keep people from copying it for a bit. I still have a working 80 column card in the attic, along with the wirewrap prototype that I showed to Jobs and Woz, who both sanctioned it and helped sales by including our Ad in every one of their computers sold. I have the original schematic around if you want to see it. I am now getting ready to release a Android Cell Signal Nav App.

Hi and Good Day to you Mr. Black. Really enjoying your channels on YouTube a lot! I'm a TRS-80 fan and collector and its very nice and fun to see you tinker and comment on all those board mods!!! (I'm still smiling). Life is good isn't it? Take care of that shoulder so we can see more heavy TRS-80 and Coco stuff hit the bench. Keep up the good work and I promise not to send foam peanuts or disintegrating foam particles in any packages! Ha! Peace from ABC Heating & Cooling.

I really like your videos. You have a passion for retro computers and older hardware. Neat to find out how things work. P.S. I also read a rumor somewhere that Adrian's Digital Basement appears to be based in Oregon.

Adrian, I was just watching "Retrobrighting worked well … until it didn't (Atari ST 520)" — first off, loved the video and content. I was LOLing though because I was so excited to see the monitor stand under the SM1224 monitor — I had EXACTLY the same one back in the day (and possibly still in my garage). I think I got it at Radio Shack. Anyway, more Atari content please 😉

Greetings from right around the corner in Portland, Oregon. I have been a fan for any years – since you posted a tear down of an LED bulb from a dollar store – so it's high time I stopped by to say hello. Also, massive thanks for all the informative and entertaining content! While there are a lot of fantastic retro computer Youtube channels, I learn more from and look forward to your videos most of all.

Love the videos, especially Commodore repairs. I've learned so much about what makes a computer run, when I had absolutely no clue about the electronic side of things. Very interesting and makes me want to learn more.

Es macht immer wieder Spass die Videos anzusehen. Vor allem wenn er sich mit Amigas befasst, kommt bei mir Freude auf. Die "selbstheilenden Amigas" zeigen, dass auch ein Profi sprachlos sein kann – und dass er diese Videos zeigt, nötigt Respekt ab. Mach weiter so! (Jay Miner hat auch noch andere schöne Computer mitentwickelt). Gruß aus Deutschland, Frank — Translated to English — It's always fun to watch the videos. Especially when he deals with Amigas, I get joy. The "self-healing Amigas" show that even a professional can be speechless – and that he shows these videos demands respect. Keep up the good work! (Jay Miner has also co-developed other beautiful computers). Greetings from Germany, Frank
