I need to free up some space for new interesting things comming in. So after much thinking I'm letting these machines go: VAX 11/750 (Complete, some spares, needs love: http://www.update.uu.se/~pontus/slask/vax11750.jpg (the green sticker is easily removed)) Alphaserver 1000 4/233 (Broken PSU)...

Hi This spring I and the Update Computer Club have been working hard with the Museum Gustavianum in Uppsala, Sweden, to display some of our computing artefacts. Now I'm happy to present: "Three Tons of minicomputers". http://www.gustavianum.uu.se/node13 We have collected computers primarily...

Hi! I just got myself an IBM 5150. And I though that it might actually be an interesting experience to do some software development for it and on it. I am a software developer by trade so I think (or at least hope) I know what I'm getting myself into. But I would like some pointers on how to...

Hi I read this review of sorts: http://reprog.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/programming-books-part-3-programming-the-commodore-64/ And I felt the urge to actually do some C64 programming. Does anyone want to sell me the above book?

Hi all Two days ago I got myself a "new" PDP-11/44 with lots of goodies, in need of love of course. But the reason I post in this section of the forums is that I'm upgrading my Girlfriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 today \o/ Wish me luck! :married:

I have four 300 Baud modems I am about to throw out. I thought I should ask if anyone cares about them? In that case, they are free for shipping from Sweden + beer money :D /P

A friend and I have gotten an offer on two Unisys machines. As I understand it they occupy three racks each. Their disks will have to be wiped. What I wonder if its at all possible to aquire a license to run these as hobby systems and whether or not it is possible to reduce their size by...

I just got mail from Jens Schoenfeld of Individual Computers. I had asked him about the progress on the Chameleon (If you don't know what it is: read this). This was Jens answer: He also included some photos of the prototype: Top: Side: Bottom: A very neat gadget all in all, I will...

Many of you have probably seen Mike Ross Corestore colletion: http://www.corestore.org/compute.htm But he has just put a lot of pictures on facebook (no login required) which is something you should check out, even if you only click one link today...

Edit: It has found a new owner. Hi all. I have a Bondwell Pro28, a PC-clone, which I've given up on. It's ST-225 seems to have given up. The disk spins and the heads moves, but it wont boot (it was working at one point in time). It has a floppy, a game port, parallel and serial ports and a...

I've gotten my hands on an Amiga 2000 and a PC Bridge board. I haven't decided whether to keep it or not. I'm a bit curious about the bridge board, was it possible to run a PC environment (dos or cpm) alongside the Amiga OS? Was it common or have I found something rare? Also, out of curiosity...

This link is making the rounds in various forums, so sorry if someone already posted this: http://technologizer.com/2009/06/14/fifteen-classic-pc-design-mistakes My favourite is problem#13, the expanded TI-99/4A.

I have an Atari printer I found in the electronics dump at my old workplace. I'm missing the paper cartridge (the thing sticking out on the side), otherwise it is good condition. I have not tested it, simply because I don't know how. (If you like me to power it on and do something specific, I...

I found this on the Swedish site "blocket.se" and thought that maybe someone of you guys in Stockholm would be interested in this: http://www.blocket.se/vi/20603583.htm?ca=10_s I'm somewhat tempted by the MC80, mostly because of the rarity... it is probably not that useful.

Hi Since I've just gotten a PDP-8/e I'm on the lookout for an ASR-33. It feels like the right contemporary terminal to use, and I could use the paper punch. I'm not terribly rich and I guess that shipping this beast will take the better part of my budget, however I'm willing to pay a...

Finally! After a year or two of searching I have gotten my hands on a PDP-8. A PDP-8/e to be exact. I packed four friends in the car and drove 500+ kilometers and back to the yearly electronics auction at the Gothenburg university. It's arranged by ETA (swedish link) and it was the most fun I've...

This is for sale in my home town (not by me) http://www.blocket.se/vi/19271773.htm?ca=10_s Would anyone be interested? If so, I could ask for price. /P
