but I've been contemplating selling off my ST gear. Too much stuff, too little money. well nobody can really tell you what to do, this is after all a decision you have to make for yourself, there's nothing wrong with sticking to emulation, if you'd rather have the money for something else. just …

they can also scale 320x200 perfectly ^^ unfortunately a lot of the 1600x1200 LCDs are really old by now and many of them suffer from deteriorating panels, but there's also 1920x1200 and some of them can do proper 4:3 scaling.

What's a pc? Does it have an 8088/8086? An 80286. .. 386 ... 486 ... pentium blah blah. Even if pc's pertained to this converdation, why? Does an old puter offer anything a new computer doesn't? PC in retro terms usually means IBM PC compatible, so yes that means 8088 or x86 compatible CPU and …

why so many people talking down other's purchases lately? you don't need to have "the best" stuff to have fun with retro hardware, this hobby is for enjoyment, and I'm always happy to see what other people got, may it be that ultra rare unicorn or just a cheap thing they found and wanna have fun …

I just won a Terratec XLerate with the original beetle. For a single Øre, no one else wanted that thing. Am I missing something? It has a golden backplate, MIDI connector and bent pins, what's not to like there? oh I was watching it, but I already have one ^^ and got the MX300 recently so might as …

Re: Is this CRT monitor worth €100+ ?

you should stay at or under 800x600 for this one according to the manual, keep that in mind ^^ is probably nicer at this size and most DOS stuff will be VGA anyways.

seems to be a pretty generic CRT, worth that much? probably not. but if it's hardly used, and you have no other way of getting another CRT, it might be worth it to you, who knows.
