Hi This spring I and the Update Computer Club have been working hard with the Museum Gustavianum in Uppsala, Sweden, to display some of our computing artefacts. Now I'm happy to present: "Three Tons of minicomputers". http://www.gustavianum.uu.se/node13 We have collected computers primarily...

Hi! I just got myself an IBM 5150. And I though that it might actually be an interesting experience to do some software development for it and on it. I am a software developer by trade so I think (or at least hope) I know what I'm getting myself into. But I would like some pointers on how to...

Hi I read this review of sorts: http://reprog.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/programming-books-part-3-programming-the-commodore-64/ And I felt the urge to actually do some C64 programming. Does anyone want to sell me the above book?

Hi all Two days ago I got myself a "new" PDP-11/44 with lots of goodies, in need of love of course. But the reason I post in this section of the forums is that I'm upgrading my Girlfriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 today \o/ Wish me luck! :married:

I have four 300 Baud modems I am about to throw out. I thought I should ask if anyone cares about them? In that case, they are free for shipping from Sweden + beer money :D /P

A friend and I have gotten an offer on two Unisys machines. As I understand it they occupy three racks each. Their disks will have to be wiped. What I wonder if its at all possible to aquire a license to run these as hobby systems and whether or not it is possible to reduce their size by...

Edit: It has found a new owner. Hi all. I have a Bondwell Pro28, a PC-clone, which I've given up on. It's ST-225 seems to have given up. The disk spins and the heads moves, but it wont boot (it was working at one point in time). It has a floppy, a game port, parallel and serial ports and a...

I've gotten my hands on an Amiga 2000 and a PC Bridge board. I haven't decided whether to keep it or not. I'm a bit curious about the bridge board, was it possible to run a PC environment (dos or cpm) alongside the Amiga OS? Was it common or have I found something rare? Also, out of curiosity...

This link is making the rounds in various forums, so sorry if someone already posted this: http://technologizer.com/2009/06/14/fifteen-classic-pc-design-mistakes My favourite is problem#13, the expanded TI-99/4A.

I have an Atari printer I found in the electronics dump at my old workplace. I'm missing the paper cartridge (the thing sticking out on the side), otherwise it is good condition. I have not tested it, simply because I don't know how. (If you like me to power it on and do something specific, I...
