The image depicts a close-up illustration of two hands engaged in an exchange. The hand on the right is holding a string attached to a decorative ornament, which features a red, spiral design resembling a candy cane, and a white, round element with a face-like appearance. The hand on the left is reaching out, seemingly to receive the ornament. The background is a plain, light green color, providing a neutral backdrop that highlights the hands and the ornament. The illustration style is simple and cartoonish, with soft colors and clean lines.

The Lost 256 KB Japanese ROM for the MacIntosh Plus Has Been Found
The Apple MacIntosh Plus was one of the most long-lived Apple computers and saw three revisions of its 128 kB-sized ROMs during its life time, at least officially. There’s a fourth ROM, sized 256 kB, that merges the Western ROMs with Japanese fonts. This would save a user of a Western MacIntosh Plus precious start-up time & RAM when starting software using these fonts. Unfortunately, this mythical ROM existed mostly as a kind of myth, until [Pierre Dandumont] uncovered one (machine-translated, French original).
Since this particular ROM was rumored to exist somewhere in the Japanese market, [Pierre] went hunting for Japanese MacIntosh Plus mainboards, hoping to find a board with this ROM. After finally getting lucky, the next task was to dump the two 128 kB EPROMs. An interesting sidenote here is that the MacIntosh Plus’ two ROM sockets use the typical programming voltage pin (Vpp) as an extra address line, enabling 256 kB of capacity across the two sockets.
This detail probably is why this special ROM wasn’t verified before, as people tried to dump them without using that extra address line, i.e. as a typical 27C512 64 kB EPROM instead of this proprietary pinout, which would have resulted in the same 64 kB dump as from a standard ROM. Thanks to [Doc TB]’s help and his UCA device it was possible to dump the whole image, with the images available for download.
Using this ROM image was the next interesting part, as [Pierre] initially didn’t have a system to test it with, and emulators assume the 128 kB ROM format. Fortunately these are all problems that can be solved, allowing the ROM images to be validated on real hardware as well as a modified MAME build. We were informed by [Pierre] that MAME releases will soon be getting support for this ROM as well.

Meta adia chegada de sua IA mais potente, o Behemoth
Previsto inicialmente para abril e depois junho, maior modelo da Meta segue sendo adiado internamente, com poucos avanços e alto custo de desenvolvimento.

in reply to b4ux1t3 #1️⃣ • • •Like, I'm a very fast typist. Not the absolute fastest, but easily over 110 WPM when writing my own original thoughts
But I don't touch type that, I actually do a weird hunt and peck thing, only with many different fingers. I _can_ touch type to a degree when I'm typing my own stuff, but only for brief spurts.
On top of that I have a LOT of typos, even when I'm looking at the keyboard, so waste a lot of time editing things.

in reply to b4ux1t3 #1️⃣ • • •I used to play a game called typing tutor (a search for it a couple of years ago found a different one).
Letters and words would appear at the top of the screen and fall to the bottom. You had to type them before they reached the bottom or they would destroy the "buildings" they landed on. The words would fall faster and faster until you could no longer keep up and all the buildings at the bottom were wiped out..

in reply to bjb • • •The game started with a few letters from the home row. You could choose to add new letters and eventually numbers and punctuation and the game would include them in the falling words.
Playing that got me up to 100+ wpm on alpha only, and close to that on full keyboard.
It was hard to raise my punctuation rate higher because I would occasionally use keyboards with punctuation in different places. But, I was happy with results.

in reply to bjb • • •@bjb I just worry that my habits are too ingrained.
When I tell you I'm a fast typist I mean it. Like, really fast.
So what I'm worried about is that I'll get frustrated with not typing quickly enough and just throw my computer into a dumpster.
I should try though.
bjb
in reply to b4ux1t3 #1️⃣ • • •The 100+ wpm was calculated as the actual wpm minus some value for each mistake. And it counted mistakes. So you could choose to work more on speed, or more on accuracy. Eventually, both improve. Seems in your case you already have speed.
