    Revisited Sheepshaver after a few years away. I'm impressed.

    It was a 68020 accelerator. And I am aware my comment has no relevance.

    Revisited Sheepshaver after a few years away. I'm impressed.

    I thought classic Mac emulation was no problem for decades. Here's Mac OS 8.1 running on my 1987 Amiga 500, back in the early 2000's: (B&W 7.5.5 ran much faster, of course - just as fast as my Mac SE, which I transferred files to and from the Amiga)

    Mitsumi vs. Hi-Tec keyboard?

    Take a look at the "3" on the black keyboard. If it's a "flat top 3", then it's likely to be Hi-Tek or Stackpole. If it's rounded, then it's likely to be Alps or General Instrument. I say "likely" because there may have been even more versions of the keyboard.

    Mitsumi vs. Hi-Tec keyboard?

    Beige is boring. Silver and black all the way. Pity I didn't have the TI turned on when I took the photo. Here is TI Burger Time on my other CRT:

    Mitsumi vs. Hi-Tec keyboard?

    I'd sell both and get a silver/black one with Alps or General Instrument keyboard.

    Are computer museums 'bad'?

    When he had too many multiples, he sold them during the open house - at very reasonable prices. I got a C64 in box for $20, a C128 in box with boxed 1571 for $50 and an SGI Indy with Indycams for $20. I think visiting the museum cost only $2 or something. He obviously wasn't in it for personal...

    What are the top 10 rarest vintage computer bits you own?

    Well, there are at least 4 types of A500 keyboard, NMB "space invaders", Cherry MX black, and two variations of Mistumi. Maybe you have either NMB or Cherry. My A500 has C= on the case, but it's Mitsumi.

    What are the top 10 rarest vintage computer bits you own?

    Nice! Is it hall effect SW or magnetic reed? The earliest Micro Switch I have is a keypad with 1SW11 switches from 45th week of 1970. I always wanted one of those. With the prices now, I might as well just get a PET. What exactly is a "chicken-lips keyboard"? Do you mean the Cherry MX black...

    Happy DEC-20 and Merry New PiDP!

    No, I never heard of Steins;Gate. My problem involves trying to avert nuclear war in 2026. I'll check back in January. Thanks.

    Happy DEC-20 and Merry New PiDP!

    I need one of these. (I can't tell you why because it might affect alternate future timelines.) Are these for sale?

    Ontario Nabu $300

    Did you miss the part about it costing more to ship to Canada? There are Nabus for sale at this very moment, FROM THE ORIGINAL SELLER, which after shipping to Canada would cost $341.86 (CAD). Yeah, greed.

    Ontario Nabu $300

    Yes, my $79 Nabu ended up around $215 CAD shipped.

    Need help! RCA woodgrain television from 1988 won't get off channel 91

    There's still one working analogue TV station in my area. I don't know why it's still up. Sadly, there's nothing worth watching on it.

    Need help! RCA woodgrain television from 1988 won't get off channel 91

    Nice TV! You need a wood grain VCR to go with it. On my TV, channel 91 is the A/V input.

    Wicat 150

    I've been waiting decades to find out what keyboard was in the Wycat 150. Thanks for the photo!
