I took my Amiga 1200 and C64C out on the terrace and sat in the sunny weather while I gave them both a good scrub with a solution of sugar soap and warm water. It really did a number on the rub-off stains the case had gotten from other object. The Amiga 1200 was really gunky after 20+ years in a …

Hi, still chasing for a retro PC that will bridge the gap between the days of DOS and the first days of Windows gaming, and I found that the IBM 300PL hits the spot. Until I found out what a massive thing it is. Measures 45 by 45 cm (17.7") so it takes up quite a bit of space on even a 80 cm / 31.5" …

I would like to mount a 5 1/4" floppy drive in a 300 PL cabinet, but not sure if it can be done "nice." Look at this 300PL, it has a nice sloped fascia plate for a tape drive.

And I want to use my old LAPC-I, Full length 8-bit ISA card. I have seen an IBM 300PL model 6862 for sale at …
