Thanks again for all this work. - Alex

I still like the lunchbox form factor. Portable enough, but with a good keyboard and room for expansion. The military still uses a lot of modern lunchbox systems. - Alex

For those looking for a different form factor, have you considered taking the PCBs out of a Hand386 or Pocket386 and re-homing them? It’d be a seriously easy job, to knock up a new chassis, if you want an SFF PC, and the original ports are already available, including ISA, serial, parallel, PS/2...

Agreed and done. The last G5 will be 20 years old next year, so I think that’s quite fitting, as well. I always leave it up to folks as to what “vintage” is, as opinions are so varied. My thought is that “vintage” is whatever people are nostalgic about, with no particular date cut-off. If folks...

I fixed the title of the thread. Good luck, I love the 5155. And, people definitely called it a “suitcase” or luggable, back when it was new. Remember that stereotypical 1970s hard-sided luggage? The 5155 is very close to that size, albeit a bit heavier. - Alex

If anyone wants other sub-categories, feel free to suggest them. - Alex

Sorry, I can't do anything about the CSS. @VeryVon , any thoughts? I did another re-org, which separates 'Genres' and 'Companies'. I also created some subforums. Please let me know if others would be useful. FYI, organization, or the lack thereof, is not an indication of preference, as anyone...

Thanks for your efforts @LyceusAnubite ! - Alex

We organize based on how much the forums are used, here, not based on sales numbers. If folks have suggestions, please feel free to post them. - Alex

@modem7 , an ad for the SupersPORT 286 is here: http://www.1000bit.it/ad/bro/zenith/ZenithSuperPort286-40.pdf Might be worth adding to your collection. - Alex

I just picked up a SupersPORT 286, as well, and will be taking a look at it soon. - Alex

@Zare you might want to take a look at this, if you haven't already: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/ - Alex

All, I have done a bit of reorganization in the 'Genres' category, and added an 'IBM, not-PC' forum. Please let me know your thoughts. - Alex

The repair of VCF's IBM 1130 has (finally!) started. If you're interested in what's going on, you can follow the progress on Carl Claunch's blog, here: https://rescue1130.blogspot.com/ Thanks to everyone for their help in getting the work done! - Alex

Sure, that seems reasonable. - Alex

Welcome to the forum @Benny33 . This thread is 7 years old, so you are unlikely to get a response. Thanks! - Alex

Welcome to the forum @TrippyVaultBoy . I, too, have a Model 4 (4p), and am interested. - Alex

For folks commenting on cost, I’m not going to do into detail, but a couple of notes: 1) VCF does not pay anyone to attend, including speakers 2) VCF has to pay for the use of the facility 3) There are a large number of event costs, including such basics as chair and table rental, that have to...

OK, folks. There are clearly strong emotions here, but I think this thread has run its course. Nobody is convincing anyone else here of their opinion, at this point, so I’m going to lock the thread. - Alex
