I have a number of Indigo2 power supplies that need to be repaired. It's certain recapping is required, but some additional debugging may potentially be required. I have not had much luck finding a technician. Might someone here have pointers?

Looking for laptop, battery and charger at least. Other peripherals (num pad, dock, trackball) a plus. Thank you.

Here are some pics of Desqview/X and Puppy Linux running on the Gateway 486 I restored a couple of years ago: More on the story here: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?44930-Restoring-a-Gateway-2000-4DX2-50-80486-Desktop-(Warning-Lots-of-images)

I started up the IIgs after a few months and was greeted by this: I reseated the memory card, tried again, same result. Any idea what might be happening?

Wanted to share some recent acquisitions. Pictures now, stories later.

Adventures in alternate OS installs on the Gateway continue... I was able to get RedHat 6.1 to boot and make it into the X-based setup program. Of course, the 1GB drive has just about 120MB left, so I didn't actually go through with the install. That said, at least I've gotten farther with this...

http://www.wired.com/2015/07/commodore-smartphone/?mbid=social_twitter The Commodore PET is now an Android smartphone running an emulator. A nod to the name, but a bit of a travesty, really, for vintage buffs.

Great article with some interesting Soundcloud clips! http://motherboard.vice.com/read/this-is-what-70-years-of-computing-sounds-like

Some additional pictures: The early proto of the dev board - note the keyboard built from scratch from an array of push switches.

The obligatory BASIC three liner...

Got lucky today and found a PCjr still in the original box, with the diskette drive safety card insert still present! The pics will do most of the talking, but I got the IR keyboard, two joysticks, power adaptor and the PCjr system unit itself. No sidecars or other expansions, however. Without...

Need these items for a NeXTstation Turbo Color. Would you please PM me if you have these items and would like to sell. 1. NeXT non-ADB sound box 2. Y cable 3. HDD - atleast 2GB, ideally with NextStep 3.3 and apps loaded 4. V74 ROM

I wanted to try Linux on the Gateway to see how usable it would be. I didn't want to mess with the HDD which has a single dos partition, so I burned a puppy "wary" live cd and tried to boot. The system now has an IDE CD-ROM. Problems with the Sony CDU-33 have been covered in previous pages so...

I just saw this with my boys. It's excellent, as usual! I was very happy to see a new one from you, Terry, after some months. Please keep them coming. Also enjoy your website and the many useful articles you've posted there.

The PC-10 arrived, along with the XT-2-PS/2 keyboard adapter, the LAN card (Etherexpress 8/16) and a box of floppies. I had a Commodore 1084 RGB monitor with the necessary cable, so the first step was to try to get that to work. And it did. Here is the system wired up and POSTing: You can...

Would like to buy three items: 1) XT IDE controller - intend to use this with a CF card 2) 8-bit CGA controller - IBM preferred, but if none are available at a reasonable price, I'll also consider alternate controllers with composite out 3) 8-bit VGA controller Please PM me with details and...

I just bought a Commodore PC-10 8088 system from eBay. It hasn't arrived yet, but here are some pics from the listing: The details were fairly scarce, but I think I got it for a good price, and most importantly, the seller reports that the system powers up and operates. The insides are...

I frequently use ftpsrv, which is part of Mike's excellent mTCP package, to TX files to/from my recently restored Gateway 486. After a lot of trouble w the Sony CD-ROM in the system, and repeated challenges trying to get a compact flash based removable mass storage solution going, I found...
