PowerBook 1400 booting from compact flash Posted by: GPOTOM
Video duration: 162 seconds This is my PowerBook 1400c/133 booting from a 1GB AGFA Photo high speed (80x) compact flash card installed with a PCMCIA adaptor. It works very well and feels about as fast as the original hard drive that it replaced, and of course the machine now runs silently.

Horse cantering along Ayr Beach Posted by: GPOTOM
Video duration: 46 seconds Ayrshire lass rides her horse along Ayr beach at around sunset then gives an incredibly refined comment about the horse's reaction to seaweed. The Isle of Arran is visible in the background. I've been told that this is a canter and not a gallop so I have altered the video title accordingly.

Video duration: 57 seconds Here's a clip of my Sinclair Spectrum 128K playing some of Ay Riders "You Are Adult" album.

Tetris theme on Keytar Posted by: GPOTOM
Video duration: 52 seconds After seeing many people playing the Tetris theme on piano, organ and even accordion, I decided to make my own version. For this I used two instruments from the 1980's: a Yamaha PSR-60 keyboard and a Yamaha SHS-10 Keytar, linked via MIDI. Hope you enjoy it!

Davy Jones Plays His Mason & Hamlin Organ Posted by: GPOTOM
Video duration: 92 seconds This is me having an attempt at playing "Davy Jones Plays His Organ" from Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest. It is a rough improvisation that then goes into the main theme (called "He's a Pirate" I think). Complete with silly head movements, largely caused by exhaustion from pumping the organ's foot bellows! Filmed by Jamie who went artsy-fartsy with the camera.
