Welcome to Mid-Week-Mini-Mail-Call #23! In this video I take a look at a cool Apple II card giving it the ability to boot from a SD card, I use a donated C128 PAL VICIIE to fix my German Commodore 128 and I run a C64 Basic program from an old issue of MAD Magazine to see what it does! This video filmed entirely on the Sony ZV-1. What are your thoughts?
