    Looking to buy vintage ram

    Looking to buy 27 chips of the following name brand and type: AM9101DPC/P2101A-2 AMD 256X4 RAM To be used in a IBM 5150 A Model, the chips soldered to the motherboard are this type, so it seems only appropriate to fill the sockets with the same. Ideally would be nice to get 27 chips, but...

    IBM 27F4943XM Speech talk Adapter

    Seeing any information on the IBM 27F4943XM Speech talk Adapter. The board uses a mouse like connector, information on the web seems to be scarce. People selling this card mistaken it for a Mouse Card.

    What if IBM didn't choose the Intel CPU!

    Word for thought, useless but hey! What "if" IBM Choose the 6502 back then, where would Intel be today? Where would the PC industry have gone, where would the company that held the patents to the 6502 be today? Since "most" other computers back then used the 6502 type cpu, if would of been...
