    Anyone have IBM P70 screen hinge files for 3D printing by chance?

    Title says it all! I know many IBM P70 systems are plagued with this same issue as mine; broken display hinge mounts. Has anyone created 3D printer files for new ones?

    HELP! Needed: Japanese IBM 5545T reference diskette

    Hi everyone! Trying to get my IBM PS/2 5545T (Japanese P70) up and running, but I am in need of the reference diskette. The P70 disk that works fine on my other P70 and my GE Fanuc II does not work on this; gives me an error. I'm guessing I need the diskette for this specific system. I don't...

    Going back here... Royal punch tape machine Model 518... what's it interface with?

    Still cleaning out that estate! Another interesting piece. I've found only this for information but it either doesn't say what this interfaces with or I missed it: https://archive.org/details/TNM_Roytron_tape_punches_and_readers_20171021_0058 Curious what this worked with, and a possible age?

    Help with installing Mac OS 8 on a Power Mac 8500 - HDD not supported?

    I didn't know where to post this as the Apple forum seemed to be for 68000 only? Purchased this Power Macintosh 8500/150 complete with all the discs thinking a fresh OS install would be easy. But I think I'm missing something! This had two HDD in it, but the main drive had failed. I removed it...

    Anyone do recap work? Need IBM floppy drive done

    I have a pair of IBM portables; a P70 and a 5545T (Japanese variant). Neither floppy drive worked as both have leaky SMT caps. I tried my hand at doing one drive and it wasn't fun. Not much room to work on that board especially the ones near the spindle motor. Not sure if I didn't do...

    Loaded Altair 8800 discovered yesterday with tons of paperwork & punch tape programs Well, this happened. This was the crown jewel of that estate I cleaned out a couple weeks ago. Barely made a dent in the pile, but had to post this up. Sadly, it'll need a full restoration. Mice have been...

    Interesting CP/m card from Advanced Logic System

    Latest find. This is a CP/m card for the Apple II made by Advanced Logic Systems. This one seems to be a very early release or possibly a prototype. I can't find any that look like this with all socketed chips. Really interesting.
