Bought today from local fleamarket IBM ThinkPad A31. Administrators password was missing and I just added 256 Mb extra ram and started system recovery which is now installing XP. And all this just 10 euros 😀

One nice old VGA-adaptor. This was used in IBM 5160 but it was far gone already. I took the case in the attic and this Trident TVGA8800BR-based card. Don't know if this works but it's nice piece of history none the less :) http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn165/tomikroger/20150823_104011.jpg …

soviet conscript: very nice find... That Colt is all new to me. Here in Finland they didn't sold that, never seen one. If I think hard, never seen Commodore PC neither. It were rare in PC market here when C64 and Amiga were leaders in homecomputing.
