Been a while, eh... I was going through storage, and came across a few things to try to free myself of(or otherwise keep to repair). Thought maybe one of ya'll might be interested. I have a Macintosh Plus 1Mb with keyboard, numerical pad, mouse, manuals, and carrying case. The flyback for the...

Well, after two years of sitting in it's original boxes, I finally got up to West Virginia to pull the old PC6300 out for a run. I wasn't expecting it to work, but after a quick inspection of the motherboard and daughterboard, everything -looked- OK. So needless to say I put it all back...

Well, been having all sorts of fun in the Apple/Mac world, but not growing up in the era(OK, I grew up through a good part of the classic Macs, but at 2 years old in 94, I didn't really care), I don't have all the knowledge I would if I had. Anyhow, I now have a pristine Macintosh Plus with 4MB...

I've got a nice 5155 collecting dust here and with an anticipated move with my fiance in June, I don't see it as a neccessary device--especially seems I have a 5150 too. It's in very very good condition with two working 360K drives. The amber display is crisp and clear. The manual is in great...

I sold an early 128K off eBay yesterday. I feel like we both got a good deal. The case was cracked, yellowed, and scratched, and the unit didn't work. I was going for $50. Anyhow, traded it for a Macintosh SE. He upgraded it from a 1/20 to a 4/40 (4MB RAM, 40MB HDD). I already had a full set of...

Digging through more stuff, I found this odd box. It's an IBM 3420 Field Tester. From what I gather based on the instructions, its to test a tape drive. The connector for it, on the end of a ribbon cable, consists of two rows of pins, with a good gap between them, maybe 1/8 inch. It is a female...

Been sorting through stuff the last few days and I came across this disk drive. It is a VIC-1541 drive in box, even with styrofoam wrapping. Make me an offer, but they seem to be plentiful on eBay. Actual working condition unknown, looks to be taken care of, though. --Ryan

LOL I couldn't resist. But seriously, what a sensation it was to turn on the old IBM 5150 after months of idlely sitting there, keeping the table from floating away. I plugged it in, and with a "CLICK!" it purred to life. I inserted my 5.25 DOS diskette(a copy of course, versus original) and...

Hey all, Been a long time since I've been too active on here. I see a few new members and I notice Terry Yager still doesn't seem to be active. Anyone figure out where he's at? I still think he's having to go under the radar for whatever reason. Anyhow, I haven't been on because I've been...

I've been sitting on some stuff for awhile and I'm not going to do a thing with it. I've got, say, 4 medium tote boxes worth of books I want to give away as well as other miscellania such as 2 Atari 1050 drives, and under my bed is an external Amiga 3.5 drive that I tried to sell at one point in...

I was organizing my vintage computer stuff and came across this. Was going to put it in a box headed for the back of the closet, but after some research, have found they have value. $45 for one not boxed on flea-bay sold recently, one for $60 is being offered BIN. Anyhow, not REALLY out for...

TI/99-4A--Original owner, like new condition, with boxes--$35/obo Tandy 1000(RL?)--Stopped working yesterday--PSU? Free. TRS-80 minidisk--$50/obo The last one offers shipping, other two don't. It's not that I don't want them, its that I don't have the monies to go that far. But if someone on...

IBM School Box for the IBM EduQuest 55. Its a suite of software and possibly drivers, or thats my understanding anyhow. I ran across a mention of it and dont have it, but would like to add it into the collection. Anyone have more background information on it, as well? --Ryan

So I'm poking around in a box of C64 and VIC-20 stuff I got, and I came across something called the "Cardboard/3." It looks like it plugs into the cartridge slot of the VIC-20, and fits fine. Then, it has 3 extender plugs. Is this for having 3 cartridges in at once or something? Seems pretty...

I've got an HP a1483w to sell as I need to come up with some cash. I spent the day restoring it. AMD 64 X2 2.2GHz 250GB SATA DVDRW Lightscribe burner Front card ports 2.5GB RAM 3.5" 1.44MB floppy drive HD audio ports 256MB Video RAM VGA/DVI 7 USB ports 3 Firewire Ethernet 10/100 It's got...

I was browsing Craigslist and ran across this. HUGE vintage computer collection for sale, lots of stuff. He'd probably sell some things seperate but appears he'd rather not. Anyone in the area want to team up and purchase it? http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/sys/1013054055.html --Ryan

Welcome to the group! I welcome you to post your IBM systems here and pictures as well. Mine as follows: IBM PS/2 70-386 IBM PS/2 80-386

OK, so I've got my IBM PS/2 70-386 running, right? Well I had it running for an hour before I attended to it, but everything was fine once I got to it. I exit Windows 3.11, and go to DOS to install Partition Magic. I was bored and kinda felt like installing something. Well I get 100% through and...

Eric(previously frozenfire75i) wanted to make sure that this was shared, so I'm posting it here to make sure you guys see it. It's the first edition of PC AGE magazine supplied by Jack Crone, who was the editor of the magazine. The magazine has alot of cool stuff in it. I've not gotten through...
