    Does it exists?, I'm basically looking for compatible files for Adlib Tracker, RAD Tracker or such tools. Some sites have MP3 recordings; but that's not what I'm looking for.

    HP-86B & HP-9121D data cable

    I'm trying to service an old HP-86B and a dual drive unit HP-9121D but I lack the HP-IB cable needed to connect both. Seems it's the same cable used for PET computers (not the ones with edge connector), is the HP-IB used in the HP-9121D the same cable as the IEEE-488 GP-IB used in these newest...

    Dumping a mixed FM/MFM floppy

    There're several mixed FM/MFM floppy formats out there: Olivetti M20, Toshiba Pasopia, Spectravideo SVI-3x8 and many others. Usually there's only one FM track (boot) and the rest are MFM tracks; but this fact made these disks a PITA to work with. Anyone knows which hardware (I mean FDC...

    Tandy 1000EX - Looking for parts to build a PLUS/IDE converter

    Or more concretely, I'm looking for the 62 pin IDC and Edge connectors; but no luck so far. Seems that they're pretty uncommon and the big electronic suppliers (digikey, mouser...) doesn't have them in stock, only 60p or 64p are easily found :( Does anyone knows where to find these parts?

    Guessing a Kaypro II model, again!

    I've recently purchased a Kaypro II (still not with me!) and I'm trying to wild guessing the machine specs.
