Before I break something, what is the proper way to remove the battery from the socket? Spent 20-30 minutes at this, but I did not want to pull/pry too hard. Looks like the plastic cover around the top of the socket has to come off, but I could not see a way to get it to release. Google not...

Just picked up a super clean 1000HX locally to replace my not-so-bad but somewhat-worn unit. I will be moving the "goods" over (8mb mem, 1mb vid, 20mb hdd) over to the new unit, and I've been thinking, uh-oh... this never ends well! So what if I dropped a V20 in there for good measure? Worth...

From the "Vintage Computer" discussion on linkedin: Crays for sale... I know someone unloading a large number of vintage cray supercomputers... if anyone has an interest shoot me a message or post here. Just a heads up the smallest big iron box clocks in around 2k lbs, largest is around 15k...

Long time Tandy fan here, but I found a guy locally on CL selling his original Woz for $100, couldn't pass it up. Don't know if it has mem expansion or not yet, which would be the only HAVE to get add-on. Came with an Image Writer II also, damn those things are heavy for their size! Anywho, I...

Thinking about picking up a Tandy Sensation, would need this to complete the setup. If you have a copy of the disk with the later EXTSETUP.COM(dated 07-12-93 2:09p) that would be cool too. PM me with what you have and how much you want shipped to 20147. Actually if you have any (or copies), or...

Ok, I had to seriously question my sanity on being ready to bid $200ish on this as a sentimental/collectors mindset, but this was just total lunacy! http://www.ebay.com/itm/251043362736?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 $2025 for a boxed version of Zork 1 for TRS-80, with no...

Man that is clean looking! http://www.ebay.com/itm/140732007586?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649 Got a few questions out to the seller about packing and shipping, and requests for front and rear pics. Put the first bid in anyway, worst case I drive up to Pittsburgh to pick...

I worked on plenty of AT (and XT for that matter) back in the day, but I never had anything as cool as my current ATX test bench. Usually we just used the skeleton of the standard desktop case, they were like 20lbs of steel. So do they, or did they ever exist? Any ideas where I can get ahold...

ISA: Compaticard IV Copy II PC deluxe and/or enhanced (board and software) looking for just about any floppy controller with external port for HD floppies. Tandy/TRS-80: Tandy 6000 keyboard TRS-80 Model 4/4D add-ons, ie. grafyx card, external hard disks >15mb, etc. Original deskmate/os that...

Just won this on ebay, so hopefully will be getting this soon. (sorry if I was bidding against you, I really wanted this) If I can be of any assistance to anyone needing to reference this, please let me know...

Looking for a MicroSolutions Backpack Floppy or something very like it. Maybe even one of the old IBM 4869 externals. (think they should work) Would prefer a 1.2mb but even a 360kb would do for a start. Actually would not mind one of each as I'd like to see if I can get a 360k external to...

Going through some stuff I picked up in a lot, found a case with this mobo: http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/B/BCM-ADVANCED-RESEARCH-INC-Pentium-SQ588.html Has a P100, 16mb ram and 256k cache. Decent mini tower with a turbo switch/led, ODD & floppies, no hdd. Anyone have any...
