Okay I might sound like an idiot here, but I am stumped. I have the XT IDE for a Tandy 1400LT and I would like to install PC DOS 3.2 (Yes, the IBM version. I just want to use the IBM version for s and g's) What is the easiest way to set up my CF card. I have the program Win-Image but is that...

I have a fully functional TRS 80 Model 4D (well it turns on and boots in dos but the top floppy drive won’t close. I don’t know why maybe it’s simple I’ve never opened it up) I don’t have enough room for it so if your near the Central Florida area or willing to meet me somewhere near the area...

I have just purchased, a Tandy 1400LT and I would like to run DOS 6.22 on it since I would like to have the most up to date dos and I would like to play around with Zip Disks and other storage media that DOS 3.2 won't support. I know 6.22 cannot fit on one 720K and that is all the 1400LT has so...

Looking to purchase a Signature 1010 electric typewriter. Has to be a working and I plus like it to have a case. If you have one please pm me and we can negotiate on the price.

Or any East German car for that matter. Would like to write a book someday and I figured it would be ideal to hear some stories about ownership of these old relics in the 21st century and what entails keeping these cars running. Funny stories are recommended (hell encouraged) and if you live in...

Does the original Compaq Portable One (mine being a revision from 1985) does not have a pc speaker at least I cannot hear mine and I haven’t seen one in my many instances or taking the computer apart to diagnose or installing something. So I was wondering can I install a pc speaker like this...

I was looking at a Panasonic SR Partner as I really like luggable ms-dos computers. But I read that it only can go up to 256k which is a severely limiting for what I want to do with it. Also the memory expansion is “proprietary” and I guess they wanted to save space being that it only has one...

Lo-Tech makes this for the Tandy 1400 series of laptops. https://www.lo-tech.co.uk/product/tandy-1400-xt-cf/ I was hoping that a sound card based on the resound 2 opl3 that will fit in the Tandy 1400 if this is possible. I will pay for this so hopefully we can work out a fair price. Please pm me.

The man who designed and built these things is not selling and has dropped off the radar. He published his schematics on https://conventionalmemories.com/wiki_cm/3inONEder_for_Toshiba_portables So I was hoping someone could make one for me so I can use one on a Toshiba T1200. I of course will...

Looking for a Toshiba T6600C either shipping or for pickup. I would like one that works and has a completely intact screen. Willing to pick up if it's in the central Florida area. If not, I will pay for shipping. Top price I am willing to pay is $300. Please PM me or respond to this post.

I really like the Tandy 1400LT but the fact that you can't install a regular sound card is really annoying. Is there a sound card that someone has developed that will fit in the Tandy's 1400LT expansion slots? Or is there another method of getting sound onto it?

Does the Epson Equity LT portable have ISA expansion slots? Because this website: https://dosdays.co.uk/computers/Epson Equity/epson_equity.php Says it does. And this document says otherwise: https://archive.org/details/manualzilla-id-7050350/mode/1up If anyone owns this exact machine can...

In Country Shipping or Local Pickup Looking to purchase a Toshiba Libretto 110CT. $300 is the max I can spend plus shipping. Preferably I would like the dock and floppy drive. Doesn't have to be museum quality just has to work. Will pick up myself if it’s in the Central Florida area, preferably...

I am willing to pay $11 via PayPal for a copy of the cga version of Monopoly. It should be preferably a copy on a 360k 5 1/4” floppy disk. PM if you want to help.

I would like to get a backpack parallel floppy drive but the drivers are mostly on 3 1/2” and that defeats the purpose kind of because my machine has only 5 1/4” drives so if anyone has these drivers for both floppy and cd drives perhaps, could someone make a copy on 5 1/4”?

This listing says there is a problem with the monitor. I contacted the seller, he tried the contrast knobs but he still couldn’t get anything on the screen. Is this an easy fix? Or should I stay away...

I see these listing for NEC V20’s and they are from China and they are a lot more affordable, but there are still alarm bells going off in my head. Should I trust these listings? Or should I get V20’s elsewhere...

Looking for a New Model 4 since my first is now unrepairable because my brother thought it would be a bright idea to put his drink on top of my computer and he knocked it over while ‘dancing’. Thankfully he doesn’t live with me and I won’t be allowing near my vintage computers anytime soon. So...

My Compaq portable came with a really weird board that not only has a serial board, but it has several banks of chips that I can only guess are ram. So since I know my Compaq was configured with 256k I want to see how much if any ram this board adds. What command do I type to check the memory...

This is a bit of a dumb question but I thought I’d ask to settle my curiosity. Could I transfer files from a usb stick through an adapter to the serial port and treat it as an external drive of sorts to write floppies?
