Crystal set radio stuff?


With a crystal radio, you want as long as an antenna as you can get.

As far as wavelengths off the ground... US AM radio is 530 kHz to 1700 kHz?  So, wavelengths of ~576 meters to ~176 meters ?

Adventures in WordPerfect


I don't remember ever seeing WordPerfect for CP/M. I think the big-name word processor for CP/M was probably WordStar.

Your "Retro Gaming" Hardware or Emulators?

It's actually closer to running on metal than running software emulation, since it's implementing (most) all the chips of the original hardware on the FPGA.  You'll get more speed (turbo modes, etc) with emulators, FS-UAE gives me a ridiculously fast Amiga, where the MiSTer's MiniMig is more like a...

What is the Commander X8?


Maybe it's a minimal 6502 + VERA implemented in FPGA that he used when originally designing the VERA before there were real X-16 dev boards?
