UPDATE: Please see my post here for information about contacting me, and my schedule this weekend (6/10/2011)... I barely spend any time fiddling with my vintages anymore, and space has become an issue since my wife and I moved into the city. I have decided it is time to part with the...

Not mine... I just saw the listing and thought I'd pass it along. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150616453185&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 They claim to have 5 of these units. The BIN is ridiculous, but they do have "Make Offer" available, so who knows how low they'd be...

Seattle Craigs List: "Huge collection" of vintage Apple Mac stuff (not mine) Just saw this during my "before bedtime" quick CL search: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/sys/2383050107.html Excerpt: -------------------------------------- "This could be a great deal for either a Dealer or a...

Saw this on eBay and thought I'd share: http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-IIGS-on-Pawn-Stars-Tons-of-extras-Great-shape_W0QQitemZ250777251931QQcategoryZ80075QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m8QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DMW%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7307637242329490961 One of the floppies...

http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-IBM-COMPUTER-SWITCH-MODEL-5170-EXTEC-1-/260738379800?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb537f018 :confused: It looks like it has a 3.5" floppy drive and a hard drive in it... But it's a power switch?

I was asked a while back to post pictures of my IBM EGA Industrial monitor. I finally got around to take some pictures, so I'm posting them on here for reference... The monitor is paired to my Tandy 1000 TL/2 with an EGA card. I had Flight Simulator 4.0 running in 640x350 EGA mode in the...

Recently acquired an IBM PS/1 2121 machine and I'm looking for the Audio and Joystick option card made for these machines. An option is to install an ISA Sound Blaster card, but I'd really like to use the internal audio. Although I received a whole machine, the monitor suffered a shipping...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Personal-IBM-Computer-5150-1981-1987-/230547252449?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35adafe4e1 and http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-IBM-Portable-Computer-/230547252433?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35adafe4d1 IMO, those seem like decent BIN and shipping fees. The 5150...

Not sure if anyone has read this and/or tried to enable this for use with Zip drives, etc. (by use of PalmZIP), but I noticed the following excerpt from page 69 (Tandy 1000 RL/HD.3) of the Tandy Technical Notes and Jumpers manual found at...

Saw this on CL today" http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/sys/2002825447.html Not sure if it's anyone from the forums... For the sake of archival, here's an excerpt of the post (sans pictures, of course): "I have a warehouse full of antique and vintage computers, monitors, printers, software...

I can't believe it... I've been on the worst eBay streak, ever... Losing auctions up and down and missing out on some great BINs... I was about ready to shutdown for the night and get some zzz's when I decided to do a quick generic search for 'vintage computer', sorted by newly listed... And...

Many games give the option of graphics and sound separately, so having an EGA or VGA graphics card installed is a non-issue if you still wish to enjoy the wonderful Tandy 3-voice sound. However, it seems that some games will only properly work with Tandy sound when Tandy graphics is chosen as...

Before I installed an EGA card on my TL/2, Lemmings played in all of its Tandy 3-voice music glory. Since installing EGA, Lemmings will only play sounds, no music. Any ideas why? Is the the Tandy graphics version of Lemmings the only one that loads up the Tandy 3-voice sound/music support...

I have a bizzarre problem... My 1000 TL/2, very randomly, will change the background color from black to blue. The machine could be sitting there, idling, and bam...blue background (the whole background, including border). The machine remains fully operational, but if I hit the RESET button...

I am attempting to install an 813mb WD drive in my TL/2, by use of an XT-IDE. The controller detects the drive fine (lists it in the bootm options), but whenever it attempts to boot it fails with an Error 01h (the controller reports this error). I have already configured my TL/2 to boot from...
