<p>I love the Apple IIGS. It’s a great computer, but could it have been greater? The legend goes that Apple purposefully underclocked its CPU during development to avoid competing with the Macintosh. But is this actually true? Join me for a deep dive into the IIGS architecture, the life of the 65816 CPU, and the ghosts of keynotes past.</p> <p>Blog Post: <a href= "https://www.userlandia.com/home/IIGS-MHz-Myth">https://www.userlandia.com/home/IIGS-MHz-Myth</a></p> <p>Join the Userlandia Patreon at <a href= "https://patreon.com/Userlandia">https://patreon.com/Userlandia</a></p> <p>-=- Chapters -=-</p> <p>0:00 - Intro<br /> 0:27 - The Myth, The Legend, the Apple IIGS<br /> 6:09 - The Apple IIx<br /> 12:21 - The Need for Speed<br /> 15:52 - The Birth of the 65C816<br /> 22:56 - Yields, Bugs, and Errata<br /> 33:56 - Accelerators, ASIC Inc, and Mark Twain<br /> 43:51 - Sanyo, Nintendo, and the End of Acceleration<br /> 47:41 - ARM, Möbius, and The Road Not Taken<br /> 55:25 - The End of an Odyssey</p> <p>-=- Contact -=-</p> <p>Follow on Mastodon: https://bitbang.social/@kefkafloyd</p> <p>Follow on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kefkafloyd.bsky.social</p> <p>Visit The Website: https://www.userlandia.com</p> <p>Join The Userlandia Discord: https://discord.com/invite/z2jmF93 <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Theme Song by Space Vixen: https://spacevixenmusic.bandcamp.com <span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Follow them on Bluesky @SpaceVixenMusic: https://bsky.app/profile/spacevixen.bsky.social</p>

<p>I’ve hit 5,000 subscribers, and what better way to celebrate than to install an old operating system on a lumbering battlestation? In a past video I said I’d install IBM’s OS/2 on the PS/2 Model 80 386, and now we’re doing it. How well does it run? Will I learn to love the Workplace Shell? I’m also giving a big channel update about ongoing projects and some of my thoughts about the vintage / retro / whatever scene. How well does OS/2 run on this massive 386? You’ll have to watch to find out.</p> <p>Blog Post: <a href= "https://www.userlandia.com/home/os2-on-ps2">https://www.userlandia.com/home/os2-on-ps2</a></p> <p>Join the Userlandia Patreon at <a href= "https://patreon.com/Userlandia">https://patreon.com/Userlandia</a></p> <p>-=- Chapters -=-</p> <p>0:00 - Intro</p> <p>0:29 - Setting Up OS/2 Warp</p> <p>7:07 - Inside the OS/2 Warp Box</p> <p>11:41 - 5K Subscriber Update: Thank You!</p> <p>13:37 - 5K Update: Video Production</p> <p>16:46 - 5K Update: Scene Thoughts</p> <p>19:35 - 5K Update: Upcoming Projects</p> <p>21:34 - 5K Update: Patreon</p> <p>23:28 - Running OS/2 Warp on a 386</p> <p>26:32 - The Workplace Shell Desktop</p> <p>28:18 - Why Did OS/2 Fail?</p> <p>32:32 - An Ode to OS/2</p> <p>-=- Links -=-</p> <p>* Another Boring Topic on OS/2 - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAMT187GWd4&t=2922s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAMT187GWd4&t=2922s</a></p> <p>* RetroBytes on OS/2 - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3DZJ_LD7F4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3DZJ_LD7F4</a></p> <p>* BlueSCSI - <a href= "https://bluescsi.com">https://bluescsi.com</a></p> <p>* WinWorld PC OS/2 Repository - <a href= "https://winworldpc.com/product/os-2-3x/os-2-30">https://winworldpc.com/product/os-2-3x/os-2-30</a></p> <p>-=- Contact -=-</p> <p>Follow on Mastodon: https://bitbang.social/@kefkafloyd</p> <p>Follow on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kefkafloyd.bsky.social</p> <p>Visit The Website: https://www.userlandia.com</p> <p>Join The Userlandia Discord: https://discord.com/invite/z2jmF93 <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Theme Song by Space Vixen: https://spacevixenmusic.bandcamp.com <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Follow them on Bluesky @SpaceVixenMusic: https://bsky.app/profile/spacevixen.bsky.social</p>
