    Slotted support brackets for long cards in IBM 5150 etc

    The original part is Unitrack SPC 3000, but they seem to be hard to find and expensive when you do. It looks like Keystone 8622 would fit the mounting holes and properly support long ISA cards, but the design and color are different, so if you’re trying to make it accurate to the original...

    Least-used M4 Keys?

    If you're willing to part with a few, I'd certainly be interested. Shoot me a PM and we'll work something out.

    Least-used M4 Keys?

    I do plan to replace the broken switches, but haven’t been able to find replacements yet. I’m just trying to plan for reassembling the machine without those switches in the case that I can’t find them before I finish refurbishing the rest of the machine. I’ll leave the broken switches in...

    Least-used M4 Keys?

    Hey all, I’m in the process of restoring a non-GA Model 4 and I’ve got a bit of an unusual keyboard question. I have three broken key switches and one missing keycap (right shift). I currently have the whole board disassembled for cleaning all the switches and when I reassemble, I’d prefer to...

    small 68000 SBC

    GitHub is probably the most typical place to host projects like this. I’d love to check out the circuit design and potentially build one to mess with. Nice work. It’s a great accomplishment to design something like this from scratch!

    Mid Atlantic Multiple old-skool cables available

    Ah, just saw the photo and it's actually not quite what I need. I'm looking for one with female BNC connectors. Thanks anyway!

    Using machines as they were vs. with modern "upgrades"

    I generally try to keep things as period-correct as possible, but there are places where I'll "stretch it" a bit. Sometimes it's easier/cheaper/more accessible to use something that's not completely authentic and I don't generally have a problem with that. For example, in a PC, I might use a...

    'Bout time I posted something here!

    Hey all, I'm Matthew. I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller located in south-central Pennsylvania (Harrisburg/Hershey area). I've been to the last few VCF East shows, a handful of swap meets, and some other events in the surrounding states. Figured it was about time to stop being...

    May 20 Swap and Hack-a-thon @ Kennett Classic (Between Baltimore and Philadelphia)

    Very cool event guys! Didn’t bring anything to work on myself, but it was great to meet some folks and check out people’s projects. Next time I’ll bring some of my own, come early, and put in a good shift. -Matthew
