The last things I'm doing this year - once fundage is raised again......
- i8087 math co-processor (tandy 1000a)
- NEC V20 CPU (Tandy 1000a)
- CRT monitor for the 286 - which will likely be something much newer, but if I can find older, I will make use of it
- CRT monitor for the 486 - which will likely be something much newer, but if I can find older, I will make use of it
The pain with the CRT is I do have a usable newer one in one of my offices at work from a previous contractor whom no longer is with us. I'm so doubtful they would let me have that thing though because of all the tightening rules about PC hardware going on around here.
Also, I've been pondering what's all hiding at my mom's house currently, I think I MAY have stowed some stuff in the closet that's PC related. If that is the case, then maybe I should wait, since I had some pretty cool displays back in the day like a 14" Addonics MON7C4B VGA Crt, Zenith 1490 VGA Flatscreens from 1987 (that were so heavy and such big heat generators they needed a FAN to keep working), and so on. Really wish I'd kept my other NEC MultiSync I had years ago (JC-1401-PW3), would have been cool to see if it could keep up with my other computers using that VGA adapter and would have looked ACE with the 486 or the 286 or the tandy. I also think I may have some 486 and 386 era parts left over there hiding in various spots, if so, might be a good idea to nab ALL of that stuff as spares.
