Greetings! I have a European spec 128DCR which I am converting to US/NTSC. I'm looking for the 120V internal power supply.

You can buy this board and get two of them, along with all of the other MSX2 chips. The boards themselves are about as popular as cancer but the components rock. https://quarterarcade.com/merit-crt-250

Hey guys, no worries! I was interested how many other users might be out there

Let me make it clear, I'm not asking because I want to know what I can "flip," it for. Rarity just makes it more interesting. Might anybody know if it can make use of IIc-intended expansions, like a ZIP chip or RAM expansion?

After reading some of your replies, I realized that the poll's topic is inherently biased, even if I didn't intend for it to be. I apologize for the poll's question being prejudicial of people here who like to "max out" their machines. All that matters of course is that you enjoy it and have fun!

My first Atari was a 2600 which I bought as a gift for my grandmother's 75th back in 2008. I learned that back in the early 80s, she commandeered my uncle's console because she couldn't stop playing Breakout. As it happens, it became mine six years later. I haven't really been able to use it since

I'm going to pick up a few pieces of equipment from a FB Marketplace listing tomorrow morning. One of the items is a Franklin ACE 500, which is more or less a clone of the IIc, but with more standard RAM and a numeric keypad. It's case and keyboard are done in shades of black and gray which kind...

In the course of collecting and using my old machines, I've seen lots of accessories using current technology to "upgrade" them. As I'm sure you tell by my use of quotation marks, I try to use machines as was possible during it's heyday, either with upgrades available in it's era or with a...

The 5170 AT came out in 1984 and came with a Model F keyboard with a different layout and signaling incompatible with the PC/XT. The XT/286 is an AT- class system and uses that standard. I'm not sure when Model F production ended to be replaced by the cheaper M, but it was probably in or around...

Ah, yes. I got drive formats crossed between the ST and the 8-bit machines. I take it the Supra for the ST is SCSI-based? The Supra sidecar on my A500 uses a 3.5" 50-pin SCSI drive As soon as I have it in my possession I will share more. I bought this and an SC1224 monitor from the same seller...

Hi Everyone! I recently picked up this interesting Atari ST combo drive. It's made by Astra, which I think also made floppy drives for the 400/800. I don't have it in my possession yet, but I'm trying to find out more about it. The seller said that the floppy drive works but the hard drive...

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum but not to the hobby. I've been a member of the VCFed group (formerly MARCH) for many years. In the past few years, I've gotten significantly more interested in the hobby, I was initially drawn to the idea of playing games, but now I'm more interested in the...

Greetings! I just picked up a 512k REU and I'm looking to upgrade it to 1024k. I found instructions on how to do it, but I'd really like to find a photo or two of what the finished product looks like. Does anyone know where I can find such photos? Thanks!

Greetings! I've got a 5170 I'm slowly trying to revive. Soon it's going to be time for a reference disk. I have the image file, but what type of disk do I need to use? I assume it's gotta be a 5.25, but DD or HD? Thanks!
