Transfer emails off your MailStation Mivo 100 via PuTTY'ing into the parallel port with some custom hardware. Read from any parallel printer port with a modern PC for ~$10 in parts. I kept this stupid thing for two decades until I figured this out.

![Add a Battery Pack to Your Mini Arcade Machine
I take a li-ion battery from a cordless drill and see how to integrate it with my mini Arcade to make a 100% Portable arcade machine.
Battery =Ryobi Li-Ion 18V
In no way is this video sponsored by Ryobi, its just the brand I received as a gift from my dad many years ago. Thanks dad!

![Build the perfect multi-input display for retro gaming and vintage computing.
I designed a nostalgic 3D printable (FDM only) desktop sized multi-format video display monitor. A kit-bash of parts in a style mash-up between a mini Sony TV and the Amiga 1000 monitor. I call it the PixelVision AV-1000 Mk II.
This is an everything input video source device including: HDMI, VGA, component, s-video, and composite video; and 3.5mm stereo audio input/ output. The portable monitor has pretty decent audio with two pairs of built-in speakers and excellent picture quality [2048×1536] with the OEM ipad (gen3/4) IPS LCD panel.

![Pandoras Box 5S [bootleg], 2-player Arcade in a Box | Review
With 1300 games stuffed into a 2-player control panel, how is the experience for coffee table arcade gaming? Im looking at build quality, design, UI experience and overall gameplay presentation.
In summary: its meh.
The game list is too long to put in the desc; so Ive posted it on my website here: http://www.retrobuiltgames.com/reviews/pandora-s-box-5s-cp/ Pandoras Box 5S [bootleg], 2-player Arcade in a Box | Review](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mmGhPJ-hjps/mqdefault.jpg)
