Hello all,
I'm a returning vintage collector. Been a bit out of the game for a couple years but having moved, I am finally pulling my old hardware out of storage and getting it back up and running. I'm having fun with all the old machines and trying to round out my small collection.
Here's what I am up to right now:
Tandy Model 100 24K
Tandy Model 102 24K
Tandy WP-2
NEC PC-8201A
Panasonic CF-150 (recently repaired with new LCD, good floppy)
Tandy 1500HD x 2 (one good, one bad, 3 spare CP2024 drives)
Timex Sinclair 1000 (my first computer)
Timex Sinclair ZX81
VIC-20
Apple Powerbook 5300c (need an OS for this but floppy/HD good)
Not vintage but old:
Thinkpad 560Z x 3 (complete with dock, slimline USB CD, many batteries, floppies, etc)
SGI Personal Iris 4D x 2
SGI Indigo x 2
SGI Indigo2 R4400 x 2
SGI Indigo2 R10k x 6
SGI Octane 1 x 2 (Dual 200Mhz, 2GB, Irix 6.5.12)
SGI Indy
Numerous add-on boards, software CDs, various hardware configs
Sun Ultra 2 (Netra faceplate, 2 x UltraSPARC 300Mhz, 2GB, 2x18GB)
Sun Sparcstation 10 x 3 (Ross Dual 180Mhz)
Sun Ultra 5
Numerous Sun peripherals (external CD-ROMs, tap drives, tons of SBUS cards, etc)
I would very much like to expand my Tandy collection. I've developed a thing for the Tandy laptops for some reason. I'd also like to add a few Ataris including an 800XL (my 3rd PC) and a complete Atari ST setup. They seem like nice machines. For the moment, I'm learning machine language programming on my VIC and PC-8201A (since I can burn my own custom EPROMs for direct use in the option ROM socket).
I'd be interested in any vintage computing events in the Mid-Atlantic region and I'm open to acquisitions. Dream machines would be an Onyx and a Cray but I am realistic.
