#Punk, hardcore, and traditional #skinhead culture have deep Black roots, from #reggae and #ska shaping early alternative movements with the influence of #Black punk pioneers like Bad Brains and Death. Here's the often untold history of how Black musicians and communities influenced punk’s rebellious spirit and working class skinhead culture. It's important to spread knowledge to fight against racist co-optation and misinformation.

The first release of my Pico MZ-80A emulator has escaped!
Look what the postie brought! I've been looking for a copy of this for years
Just looking at how straightforward it would be to extend the Pico MZ-80K to emulate the MZ-80A as well.
Shouldn't be too difficult, and it could potentially run CP/M.
I've a feeling I'm just about to fall down a rabbit hole that I swore I wouldn't ...
Newly minted - Pico #MZ80K release 1.2.4 - bugfixes and initial support for the Japanese character ROM.
Runs on a #RaspberryPi Pico mounted on a Pimoroni VGA Demo Base, #RC2014 Pi Pico VGA terminal card or on the self-contained RC2014 RP2040 VGA terminal card.
