    February VCF East Swap Meet

    I have a question about the VCF East Swap Meet happening on 2/26 - will there be a free table? I have some things, like a non-working VIC-20, that I would not sell, but would be happy to leave for taking?

    Just a heads up to folks who frequently repair VIC-20s and C64s - Jameco has some old stock of 2114 SRAMs (Intel brand) that they are clearing out (10% discount applied in cart). It is still more expensive from Jameco (even with 10% for clearance) than from Unicorn, but some folks prefer...

    FS: ICs for COSMAC, SC/MP, Zilog and many others

    A long time ago I got a large lot of vintage ICs from an estate sale and finally got to sorting them out. If anyone here needs parts for a project, you can have them for the cost of shipping since they are untested unless it has an asterisks which means it is a ceramic gold package and I might...

    When did low-quality eye glasses become the norm?

    I recently lost my glasses and have switched to a nearly 20 year old pair while I wait for my new pair to arrive. When I put the old pair on I immediately noticed that the lenses, despite being a lower prescription, were heavier and felt like real glass as opposed to plastic. Even though the...

    I am not new to the IIGS, Ive owned and used one for years BUT Ive never tried programming on it and I finally have some time to look into it and have a couple of questions: I presume the BASIC in ROM is identical to AppleSoft BASIC in other Apple IIs (no support for added memory, etc.)? But...

    Help identifying a mod made to a Commodore 128

    I am attempting to resurrect a modded 128 that I acquired on the cheap (yes it is filthy to boot). See the picture attached. Ignoring the normal bodge wire on the z80 from the factory, what is the other mod with wires going into the board near R27 in the middle, down by U37 at the bottom, etc...

    Pet 2001 - 8k

    Not sure if the aftermarket keyboard should increase or decrease the value. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202563359334 More than I would pay, but certainly more rare than later models.
