Ah, man. I'm sorry. That went fast!

@kobura This just popped up on eBay (not mine): https://www.ebay.com/itm/176379106519 The title has "486c" in it, but I don't know how to confirm.

Have you seen this listing, @kobura ? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/296173360661 Not my listing but I knew someone was on the lookout for one. Just needs a bit of work... :)

Sounds good. Thanks, @thisisamigaspeaking and @ajacocks . (y)

Welcome @old dog ! Lots of knowledgeable folks around here. I'm sure you'll be picking up new tricks in no time. :cool:

Hi folks, I know this is a longshot, but I'm looking for the keyboard/trackpad/cover assembly to complete the Sterling portable computer in the attached picture. There's one listing up on eBay that might work, but I trust you folks more. :) I haven't been able to gather much info about the...

Welcome aboard, Paul! It sounds like you have quite a bit of experience and know-how, so I'm sure you'll have some DMs shortly. -Scott

Here's a few more for your tally: HP Elite Mini Desktop [i3]: 13.23 sec Main Desktop [i9]: 3.37 sec Sadly, I don't have FORTRAN running on any vintage machines to test out the alternate code. I'll be better prepared next Pi Day. :)

Welcome, @Papalapa . Your collection is beautiful!

Hey @pski . I know it's likely obvious from the model numbers, but I figure it can't hurt to confirm: are you focused on desktop systems only? Since their laptops (1800, 2800, etc.) are technically in the 1000-5000 range numerically, I suppose there's a (slight) possibility. :)

Zooming in a bit, the model number seems to end in 5 rather than S. There are a few on eBay at the moment, and they don't seem too bad price-wise. I think this link will bring up all the results: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=d359t5&_svsrch=1 Just in case it does not, here's one example...

Haha. I understand, though I'm currently in the "one packed room" stage of collection. Someday, though. Someday...

Awesome collection, Bob! Seeing all those platinum IIes with the numpad makes me smile. :)

Great to meet you, @utuberangerbob ! I lived in western MA for a few years myself, but never managed to pick up any vintage toys. That didn't pick up again until I moved to the land of no sales tax. :)
