I got over there for a 386 for sale. He said it didnt work. On arrival bios battery was dead.
So got taling to the guy. Asked what I was gonne use them for. Said im a collector.
In short he said I got more. You interested. Said sure.
Next thing im on his attic. He pulls out Amigas, Ataris, Tandys, P1, P2, P3.
He just gave me the stuff wich he didnt use that much anymore.
When i left home I yelled F* Yeah for at least a minute 😀. Bragains are out there.

What's the black box with the DOS logo on it? I don't recognize that (assuming it's an older version of dos)

Thanks.
My fav in order.
1 Atari 520 I just love to have one of these. Kind of is genesis to me. Havnt had the chance of testing. The monitor needs work.
2 P133 Great gaming pc for Duke 3D 🤣 Tested this > Flawless
3 386 I hoped for a 25Mhz and its only a 16. However its got a 5 inch floppy wich is nice. Tested > 110MB HDD is dead as a doornail. Im gonne convert it to SSD.

Those are OG pre DOS formatted 5inch floppys. 600 of them. Neat box they come in.

That tape was the first thing i tried to keep my toddlers of emptying my cabinet. Works like a charm 😀

Good lord. That's like several lifetimes worth of floppies! Nice find.

I'm also jealous of the p133. That's my white whale right now.
