The Falcon030 microbox was designed to be used either vertically or horizontally. Image source - https://www.atarimuseum.de/falcon030.htm

The funny thing is that I was looking into assembly compilers on wikipedia, which led to external reading about rmac, which then led to MiNT, which finally led to the Atari Falcon

“Loosely” is an understatement.

    Does there have to be a lawsuit? The PS2 clearly looks like a direct evolution of the Atari design.

    I’m mostly just being snarky. Companies rarely miss an opportunity for a lawsuit.

    Man I loved the fat PS2. The fact you could spin the PlayStation logo on the drive door so it was always the right way up is peak attention to detail. Nowadays they'd screen print that shit and call it a day.

    Oh man, did anyone else see this picture and immediately want to buy one, gut it, and cram modern hardware inside? I’d homelab that thing so hard 🫦

    Heh I was one of the 12 people who actually brought a Falcon. Sadly I don't think I ever made the most of it. It took me years to get documentation on how to load code onto the DSP and by that point I got my first PC.
