Hi guys, I'm not usually the type to post this sort of thing but I've recently offered to trade my Tandy 3000HL for an IBM PS/1 and personally I think it's a great trade since I already have a Tandy 1000 TL/2 and don't need this machine but I have noticed it seems to be quite rare. I have never …

Huh! That's pretty neat I didn't know that. I was just going on the fact that the IBM PS2 can be a real pain in the butt to get apart. 🤣

My supply came today and it worked great after installing it. 😁 I really like how both my Macintosh LC, LC II and Powermac 6100/66 as well as this Apple IIGS are totally tool-less. IBM could have learned a thing from Apples designs. 😜

Bought this for 10$ today along with a Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold! It's a 1994 Power Macintosh 6100/66 (66mhz that is). Supposedly this model should have come with a DOS compatibility card but it's missing from mine unfortunately. Still this machine is definitely going to be fun to play with once I …

Currently I'm driving a 2002 Dodge Dakota SXT, which is basically a low to the ground version of the larger dodge pickups of that time and with a 6 cylinder. I think it was meant to be a sporty pickup but it's basically a car with a bed and really hard suspension. lol My first car though was a 1994 …

Thanks guys, I went and ordered (for probably way too much money) a rebuilt one off ebay that comes with a warranty from the seller. I currently don't have a good enough soldering gun to get this job done, maybe in the future I'll get a better one so I can do these things myself but using the little …

I've just remembered a monumental disappointing game; The Getaway on the PS2. This is a more linear GTA 3 game, set in London. And on the plus side the designers did add their own original ideas to the game. And on the minus side, that included some staggeringly awful design choices that ruined the …

Hey guys, I know this isn't a retro "PC" per say but since many of us collect all kinds of retro computers and hardware maybe someone could help me out here. I'm having trouble with my Apple IIgs as the title suggests, what's happening is that without the diskette drive hooked up it seems to boot to …

Mine isn't exactly complete either, I'm missing the manual but the game is in there and the box is in pretty good condition so it was totally worth it. lol As for the typewriter: It works perfectly actually!

Snagged this awesome 18" Liyama Pro 450 CRT monitor yesterday for free, it even has security system hookups in the back so I'm thinking it could probably be used with my 80's home computers and consoles that output composite video (with an adapter of course). http://orig01.deviantart.net/4568/f/2015 …

Just found out this is exists: Olivetti PC 1. Apparently it was a competitor to the Amstrad computers of the time and marketed at home users so it could be plugged into a tv. It does not contain expansion slots with out the external expansion box. http://www.museo-computer.it/Computer/Olivetti/pc1- …
