I was about to ask if it arrived safe and well. Hopefully it works! 

It does have life, but trouble booting.  Not insurmountable though....will devote some time to it over the next week or so.

Thanks!

Aliexpress teensy and a code I found from someone smarter than me. 

I'll have to read the instructions on key mapping as the num pad isn't mapped correctly but all the letters work correctly

Ended up cheating and getting another usb module (model h board) will update my electronics thread

So cool, I happen to show my 9 year old KQ3 over the weekend (and Doom, Wolf3d and Commander Keen) all on a 486 66mhz jobby.

I remember first playing KQ6 and was like, holy crap the graphics man!

I still want to finish KQ3 one day. I have save game files from 30 odd years ago.

Who else used to buy single ided 5.25" discs and notch the other side to make them double sided?

Did you increase the capacity of a 720kb 3.5" disc by drilling a hole on the opposite side to make it 1.44Mb?
