On the Programmer vs World YouTube channel, the host shares a brief but informative look at his Foenix F256K2 computer, walking viewers through its ports and physical layout in just under a minute. The system featured is the sleek black model, which stands out with a built-in LCD screen in the top-right corner—something the earlier F256 models didn’t have.
He starts with the front cartridge slot, which in his case is occupied by a 256K RAM expansion. No surprises on the left side of the case—it’s blank. Over on the right side, though, things get interesting. There’s a full-size SD card slot (he’s using a microSD with an adapter), and a pair of standard joystick ports.
The rear panel is where the bulk of the connections live. From left to right: a power switch, USB-C power input, a debug port, and video outputs (including DVI over HDMI, though he admits he hasn’t confirmed every port’s function yet). There’s also a LAN port, audio output, headphone jack, and what appear to be MIDI ports—though he humorously confesses he hasn’t hooked them up yet to verify.
Despite not having explored every feature, the host makes it clear that the real joy of the F256K2 lies in writing code directly on the machine. Hardware features aside, the experience of programming on it is what keeps pulling him back.
