Welcome to the home page of Dr. Scott M. Baker.

This website contains information about me, my hobbies, projects, and other activities. It contains a bit of biographical information and some information on the kind of work that I do.

If youve found my site from one of my blog-related Youtube videos, then you can jump right to the most recent blog post, or view the electronics project index.

Many people remember from the old BBS games that I used to write. The BBS (or Bulletin Board System) was in many ways the predecessor to the Internet. Back in the 1980s, many people would operate a BBS out of their house where other users could call in and write email or play games. I wrote several BBS games that turned out to be quite popular, the most popular of my games being Galactic Warzone and Land of Devastation.

One of my other great hobbies is working on Sand Rails and Dune Buggies. The SandRail page contains information about my various Sandrail-related projects. Ive built both Mazda-powered and VW-powered Sandrails. My current rail is powered by a fuel-injected turbocharged VW engine. I also have a manx-style buggy.

For those who are wondering if Im a particular Scott Baker that they might have known, here is some information about me

I currently have several different jobs. First and foremost, I write and sell Internet-related software. Ive written a few programs such as website downloaders, password managers, and even aviation utilities. Im also a software consultant for projects that are network or systems related. I work on Linux device drivers. I also do work with configuration management, software distribution systems, and content distribution systems for Linux. One of my focuses is on computer security, and I typically work on the security aspect of software systems.

My schedule is quite busy, but I am occasionally available for consuliting work on a case-by-case basis.

I am in the garden railroad hobby and am looking for a variable ac power supply to power my lights outside. I am using a bachmann 18 volt 5 amp supply but it isnt enough to power all the lights. I need to build one that will go up 34 volts ac depending on how many more lights i put out. Can you help me with this?

I really like your Z80 Trainer project. Did you ever get it to work? I would be inerested in buying one in kit form.

Hello Scott,

Thank you

Dear Scott!

I saw your Office Royal 2000 video on YouTube, and I would like to ask some help from you. Im a vintage computer fan and collector from Hungary. I have a similar type of daisy printer (that was my first printer in the 90s) and I want to use it again for a project. Sadly all of my documents for this printer are gone in the past. I looking for some online or downloadable PDF user manual for this printer, to set it up. Could you help me in this situation? Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
István
