I don't think Hackaday pretends to be traditional journalism. The internet is going to internet. It will make more people aware of your project and that's a good thing.

If it really does this "ring" method described in the dissertation, I'm not sure how a server would have been possible. It makes sense for an AppleTalk network. But hopefully a different protocol was introduced when UDP support was added. Looking forward to hearing your findings after you get a...

Great to have more eyes on it! Did you find anything beyond the snippet I posted a couple days ago? https://68kmla.org/forums/topic/61483-the-getting-bolo-to-work-over-the-internet-challenge/?do=findComment&comment=665333

I absolutely also want a server (or other similar user-transparent solution). My perspective is that I can quickly create a workaround right now. That doesn't stop us from also creating a replacement server. But that is a nontrivial project that I won't have time to undertake for several months...

This is a case of the perfect being the enemy of the good. Do you want to be playing Bolo this week, or next year? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@LaPorta, I had been thinking along similar lines: I do think that the Bolo server was forwarding modified packets. If we figured out the packet format we could re-implement it. Like @cheesestraws, I also have an idea for a "VPN appliance" (AKA Raspberry Pi) that would enable internet Bolo...

Ohhh, I hadn't even downloaded it, was just looking for the source on his website. LOL!

I understood the purpose of the resin, but not being a mechanical engineer person didn't understand how one would accomplish it. Thanks @Trash80toHP_Mini for explaining one possible way to do it. Sounds like it might be more suited to a CNC mill (for the leveling part) than a manual mill like I...

@Trash80toHP_Mini's milling idea sounds promising and do-able to me. I wish I understood the resin mold part though.

I came across this and thought I had found something important. But turns out it's just the "game info" packet for trackers.

Did you contact bbraun for that? I checked his svn server and couldn't find it.

I would love to get Bolo working. It would be awesome to have people to play with. The easy way would be for one of us to throw wireguard onto one of our servers and let people route their Bolo traffic through that. Realistically, probably at most 3 people would actually take the steps needed...

Stephen, I think more people would see your contribution if you cross-posted it to the 3d Printed Objects thread (if you haven't already):

There are also the HP 16500 and 16700 series that you might come across. They are much larger and use an expansion card system for all logic and scope functions, so you have to check which cards it comes with.

Check your local craigslist for vintage HP logic analyzers. For example, last month on my local craigslist there was an HP 1660B (136 channels) for $100, though only had enough probes for 68 channels. You can find additional 34 channel probes on eBay for $30 or so. Currently there is an HP 1651B...

You were supposed to relax today! :lol:

As far as I can tell from various SWIM-related documents, there have been at least 3 versions of the ASIC. Would be nice to figure out which versions correspond to which part numbers. (It also seems like Apple used different part numbers for each Mac model, even if it was the same chip? Also...

The milling machine isn't a problem at all -- every self-respecting maker space will have one. I don't understand the cast resin step though. What would be the process for that? I'm definitely tempted to do this.

Kai, since you're doing a lot of this type of thing, you might consider investing in an IR pre-heater. I have a T8280. Makes this sort of thing a lot easier, and this Chinese one only costs about $100 shipped. (Preheat the entire board to a temp somewhat below your hot air temp, then the hot air...

I took a peek at your Sprint Layout design. Very nice. Completely makes sense that this is a quicker and easier way to reproduce an existing design. Working smart!
