10MHz battle: 286 vs NEC V30
Posted on 2022-08-02, 23:42
I currently have my Tandy 1000 TL/3 and Epson Equity Ie computers right next to each. This got me thinking that these computers are very similar. They are both 10MHz XT class computers with 4 8-bit ISA slots, 640K 0 wait state memory with a 16-bit data path. The Tandy 1000 TL/3 currently has an …
One off of my bucket list - I finally got a Tandy 1000 TL/3
Posted on 2022-07-30, 00:24
I have wanted a Tandy 1000 TL/3 ever since I got back into retro computing in 2019. These don't come up very often, but I finally was able to acquire one. It was in nearly perfect condition. It did not have any upgrades so I installed the following: - 128K video memory upgrade with 4 64Kx4 100ns …

A year and a half ago I acquired a Tandy 286 Express accelerator, but the card was damaged and I had a long drawn affair to get my money back. That experience is covered in this post: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=78461 I got another crack at one of these for about 1/3 the priced I …

Re: GA-5AX prices on Ebay are outrageous; why?
Posted on 2022-05-13, 00:18
I see lots of ridiculous prices for old hardware on the bay (especially Super 7 motherboards, but many other things as well), but what does it actually mean? Are people actually paying this much, or is something else going on? There are a number of listings between two and three hundred dollars for …
Chips & Technologies SuperMath J38700DX Rev B 40MHz Math Coprocessor
Posted on 2022-05-12, 23:30
I got this little gem as part of a computer purchase. I understand the J38700DX is fairly uncommon. I have never seen one in person before. It tests just fine with the IEEETEST program. I understand C&T had a diagnostic diskette with a program called SMDIAG. Anyone know where a copy of this can be …

Re: PCChips M218 286 motherboard info needed
Posted on 2022-02-08, 16:00
Can't really help with the jumpers but I do have questions: - Is that an 80287-10 next to 20MHz 286? This actually works? - There seems to be 1MiB of DRAM in sockets? I don't see parity chips for the on-mobo DRAM so it's a good candidate for those "new" 4MiB SIMM sticks? But then again it would …

I am getting a PCChips M218 Version 1.2 286 motherboard. I have been unable to find the jumper settings for this board. I was able to find the jumper settings for a M216 & M219 on the www.ultimateretro.net website. I assume the jumper settings for those boards are probably very similar to the M218. …

After doing more research the part # of the Intel Hornet SOC is SB60168. I tried looking for more information on that specific part number but only came up with electronic suppliers with it for sale but no more information. I did find this page with a HP 100LX dissembled show picture of the SOC: …

I can't believe what some people will ask for a computer, especially one that is in nonworking condition. This coming from a seller who has over 3600 positive feedbacks. I just don't get it. You would think they would know better, but what do I know. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165278486280?hash= …
