I remember the hot wheels computers!! I have a chassis for one here, but no outer case. Weird, without the outer case the drives have very little support. And getting a power supply to fit is a challenge. I was thinking of using as an accessory slaved box, maybe scsi, but maybe USB, who knows.
To follow up on the goodwills and thrifts around here, most of them throw away computers and I can't catch any. Lots of cops have been called on dumpster divers, and with the local gang crap coming from Mexico, I can't blame them. But still...
The thrifts are the best places for computers, as overpriced as they seem to be, they're the only ones that have anything anymore. The stores are pretty good for games and programs and the odd video game oddity (found a Blip! from '77 for $2).
No thread is dead, merely "vintage."
