I've never used rails. It just sort of slides in the slot without them. I do put a little padding on the "front" of the drive so it doesn't rattle around.

You will hate trying to transfer anything to the HD over the network port. It's a terribly slow connection, not even close to even 100M wire speed. The much faster way is to connect the HD to a PC with tools that can deal with the PS2 format. Only trouble is physically moving the drive. There...

In the old days, you just hooked up two drives, fdisk/format/sys it, and used xcopy. That was cloning before NT4. I'm pretty sure it even worked up to Win98, but by then we'd use ghost.

800XL is sold. Looks like I can't edit the original post. 130XE still available.

This was sold. There seems to be a lot of people from Europe wanting these...

Good condition. Tested 100% Keyboard is fine with original mylar. Asking $275 with original power supply and BASIC cart (if you need it) plus shipping from 30907 USA. Any questions, just ask!

Really you should just stick it in a 486 and see if it works or not. If so, then it's your 286. You are trying to use 90's hardware in an 80's computer- it may not work.

I still find boxes of crusty joysticks at the flea market. I have probably 50 of them in a box somewhere... If you are willing to put in the time cleaning them, you can always get a few spares working.

This was sold. Thank you!

I still have this good spare tube.

I like the "Slik-Stik". They are very durable (no little metal dimpels inside) and responsive. The funny thing is- the main joystick part is an auto tire valve!

Yes, but I only need one... :)

You did find a prototype ChatPad. Probably you will never find the PC Host software for it unless it was found at the same time, so it will not be useful.

I ended up just buying another printer that had a ribbon in it already, so hopefully I can make one of them work! Thanks, though. If anyone has spares, I would still like one.

You should not format and try to use 40-tracks on an 80-track drive. If you do, it will often not be compatible with a real 40-track drive. You will regret trying to do this in most cases unless you have a way to completely magnetically erase the disk.

So I picked up a really nice, almost new looking, CBM 1525. Turns out it basicallly *is* new- it still has the packing cover on the bar where the printer ribbon would go, but doesn't have a printer ribbon! Normally, that would be fine, I can spend a few bucks on a ribbon, but holy crap- they...

My experience with machine/round pin sockets seems to be the opposite of some. I don't understand the attraction. Every time I've tried to use them (repairing C64's, etc) the chips pop out of the sockets on me, or don't make good connection. Even worse using strips, since they can be different...

Supposedly, Gasoline was a byproduct (waste) of producing Kerosene and was "discarded" for decades.
