# On upcoming retrocomputing projects
### Entered on Alphasmart Dana

I have a few projects perculating at the moment. I have the 
following on order: a Fujitsu Lifebook P1120, a battery for 
it, a power brick for it, an OEM copy of Windows ME for it
(I want USB flash drive capability, but Win9x... so that
leaves WinME as the choice), a dual CF to IDE adaptor for 
it, a USB DVD drive, also a power brick for my Panasonic 
Toughbook CF-18 -- this laptop is keeping Windows XP. I have 
been retro gaming on the OmniBook 800ct and loving it. Games 
so far acquired:


	
Wolfenstein 3D (shareware)
	
Spear of Destiny (shareware)
	
Ultimate Doom 95 (full, on CD)
	
Microsoft Space Simulator (full on floppy)
	
Elder Scrolls Arena (full)
	
Thor 
	
Commander Keen 1 (shareware)
	
Commander Keen 7 (shareware)


I found a copy of Redneck Rampage online and was pretty 
stoked as I owned the CD when it came out. Unfortunately
this copy was wrapped in an installer that does not run
on Windows 98se (it is a damn DOS game, for Pete's sake!).
I will keep looking for original install media for this 
game. I would also like to locate Shadow Warrior, Hexen,
and Heretic (have not looked for them yet, but they were
ones I enjoyed as a much younger man).

I also finally recieved the AA batt caddy for the battery 
retrofit of my Apply Newton eMate 300. I just need to pick
up some NiMH AA batteries to stick in it and then wire it
up in place of the extent battery pack. While I am doing 
this, I'll also disassemble the unit and inspect the hinges 
to see if I need to install washers.

So much to do!
