This has been a great year for picking up vintage stuff

Alright, there's still a few more months in the year but I just wanted an excuse to picture all the vintage stuff I've found

Here's what I've picked up so far this year...

• Amiga 500 with 1084S, SupraDrive 500XP (the hard drive has since died), mouse, a bunch of manuals and a 1541. Still haven't gotten around to recapping the audio circuit though.
• The IBM PS/1, which needs a new 5.25" floppy drive
• Zenith SlimSport 286 which also needs a new floppy drive
• An ST-225 that surprisingly still works (the store I bought it from is known to not treat electronics well, and the checkout lady was like "What's this? *THUNK*" as she was putting it on the counter...)
• A random Fujitsu clicky keyboard
• Two boxes of 3.5" floppies
• Microsoft Office 4.2 and Word 2.0B for Windows
• Microsoft Word 5.0A for MS-DOS
• PC-DOS 3.20, marked "FOR DEMONSTRATION/EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY"

Lots of stuff to be had here which surprises me, living in a college town...

I notice your Zenith Slimsport 286 is cosmetically in great shape. Most of those you see aren't just yellowed, they're orange.

When I bought it, it came in a briefcase with all the manuals and cables. I suspect that it's lived most of its life in that briefcase.

Depends, I had better luck years ago for Atari ST/Amiga gear/68k mac gear. Do you like those fellows interlocking floppy disk boxes? I have a huge cube of them 3.5" and 5.25".
