LCM is open again? I thought for sure it was going to close.

I like coding on the machines I originally used and didn't have have the money to afford. Boyle's law applies to computer science.... I like the mental stimulation of working in small places with limited resources and seeing what can happen. I'm going back further to machines that were around...

Thanks for passing it on... I'm getting ready for some projects in Fortran for RT-11. I'm taking note of your suggestion.

I still have the software in my archive. Send a PM and we can chat.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I'm holding off for a bit.... spouse getting ready for surgery.

I'm looking to buy a Socket 7 Motherboard in AT Style. I would like it to have an Intel 430VX or 430TX chipset - I have an Intel 200 MMX and an AT Beige case I would like to make useful. Send me a direct message. I live in Las Vegas and will pay reasonable shipping.

I have a Model 1 Level 1 with 4K. How would I know if the board version can run that hack mentioned above?

I'm a hobbyist.... I don't buy/obtain old tech for investing.... I do it for the fun/enjoyment. Now, if someone offered me a VAX 11/780 free..... well, that would require some house re-arranging... :)

The rarest vintage computer I have is a TRS Model 1 Rom 1 with the original 4K of memory with Tandy Monitor aka TV Set. From around 1977 I believe. Has not been modified. You can type in programs for Rom 1 Basic or attach a Tape Drive and use it to load/store progames. Also have the original...

Is it possible to image the tape and upload it to Archive.org? It would be interesting to see it. - Geoff

Minix 1 did not run/use protected mode in any processor out of the box. There was a 386 Minix patch that changed that to protected mode for version 1.5. Minix 2 would work in protected mode with the 286 up. With the 286, it would still be limited by segmentation. Minix 3 only runs on...

I just moved from Portland to Las Vegas two years ago .... not too many vintage tech heads out here. Leading Edge Model D is one of my favorite systems and mine is in pretty good shape.

Hi Robert... I didn't have any success in either, but I've removed all the cards and am going to try it again this weekend.... just got home from a long trip and I'm catching up, as they say. PDX - Yiou are in Portland OR?

This is great! Different, but looks very promising. Great job!

Here is the picture of the unit. I think its in pretty good shape. I'm not sure how far I want to go with aesthetics (scratches, painting, etc). Right now, I want to clean it up nicely and replace as many of the discrete components as needed to keep it going into the future. Any...

I am the new owner of a Enhanced TRS-80 Model II - includes the 68K card and I have a huge collection of software. I powered the system on once just to make sure it worked... it does but the screen is out of sync. GIve the age, I would like to do a complete tear down and rebuild starting with...

Getting ready for the 2021 projects... I have a beautiful, low serial# TRS 80 Model 1 Level 1 I rescued from a Storage Locker in Ohio late last year. I've tested it and it works like a champ. I want to get it working, but I'm feeling hesitant to upgrade it to Level II. Having researched it...

Good Morning from LV! First OT - to our members in OR where I'm from - thoughts and prayers for all you during the wildfires. Stay safe! Back to topic, My next project is to get my compaq 8088 portable restored. I have a working XT-IDE card, but I know that the ROM chip doesn't use all of...

I swapped out my stock BIOS for the SuperXT BIOS several years ago. I've decided I would like to return my Model D back to original condition. After looking for it, it seems I have lost the original chip during one of many moves. Can anyone post/send an image copy of the 3.01 ROM? It should...

I have a 386 system with an Award 3.03 Modular BIOS (32K each). It is split into High and Low. It is possible to substitute it with a BIOS marked Odd and Even? If so, which Bits correspond with which (I assume High = Odd, Low = even). Thanks! Geoff
