Software I use

• WebOne HTTP Proxy Server: WebOne is a proxy server for devices that don't support modern SSL or the modern web in general. Built using Microsoft .NET 6.0, it will run on Windows or Linux systems. I run this using a Raspberry Pi Model 3B with Raspberry Pi OS Lite connected to a network via ethernet
Alternative web proxy packages
• Web Rendering Proxy
• Legacy Proxy
• WaybackProxy: This is a slightly different proxy and tunnels requests through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine
• Disk Jockey: Simple-to-use disk image creator and analyser for your retro computers (or emulators!)
• balenaEtcher: Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives, safely and easily

Hardware I use

• LILIWELL industrial CompactFlash card: I have found these work well in CF-to-IDE adapters as they are in fixed disk by default
• TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch
• TP-Link AV1000, Powerline Ethernet Adapter Kit: I don't get close to 1Gbps with these, but they are reliable
• BrosTrend WiFi to Ethernet Adapter

Tools I use

• PINECIL Mini Soldering Iron (Version 2): I was worried this would be underpowered but it's worked great for me thus far. I power it with a MacBook Pro power adapter and Apple USB-C power cable

• CRST Heavy Duty Surge Protector Power Strip, 5A/1875W Circuit Breaker, 1960 Joules, ETL Listed: Hasn't caught fire at my workbench so that's good
