The xu1541 is the modern way to connect CBM IEC bus devices to todays USB equipped PCs and it is meant to replace the printer port solutions based on the so-called original x1541 cable. The xu1541 interface allows you e.g. to attach a VIC1541 disk drive to your desktop PC as depicted below. This allows for easy transfer of disk images from and to the old units and helps you preserve your ancient data.

This software allows you to get a visual representation of an analog signal using Arduino and Processing. The resolution is 10 bits so this is not like a real oscilloscope but it is still pretty useful. It works by sending values read from the Arduino board (pin 0) to Processing through serial communication.
Although i would recomend getting a real oscilloscope because it works better and has better resolution, this project could also be usefull when you don’t have an oscilloscope around and you’re in need of one. Also you could build it to experiment and have fun.

With a DIY audio streamer, you can send your favorite tunes wirelessly from your computer to other rooms. Anyone can build this remote-control wireless streamer for less than a hundred bucks using just about any old Windows computer. You can buy or make a custom enclosure that matches the room’s decor and add a small LCD screen to show you what song is playing. Then throw in a wireless remote control, and start streaming your favorite tunes anytime and anywhere you want.

The LED cube runs using a PIC16F690. Along with the brief explanation of how to make it, the author has also included the .asm file for the PIC and a piece of software written in VB.NET that you can use to create your own LED patterns. These can be exported as .asm files and put into the main .asm code.
