Been a lurker on here for a few months and now that I found a lot of parts I thought it'd be time to finally make an account on here. The first computer I got had Windows 95, so this stuff is "new" to me.

I bought two boxes full of 80s computer parts yesterday and trying to down size the lot. From what I can tell, these were pulled out of Zenith 286 based computers.

I also tested the Zenith boards to the best of my knowledge with the help of my dad's old Zenith computer (Z-200). The first lot contains cards in working order (from what I can tell). With them, the computer managed to boot to the hardware settings and then to the MFM 200 command prompt.

I also have 100% feedback as SEgamer on Atariage, Digitpress, and NintendoAge

Cool to see someone else from digitpress on here :)

Thanks! Unfortunately my time on there and other forum sites is dwindling, mainly due to me slowly getting out of collecting video games.

720k floppy drive?

Whoops, typed the wrong thing. I meant to say a 3.5" drive. When I googled it, the first result had 720k on it and I guess that's why I typed it in.
