Well, I've tried it and it seems to write fine. A little calculator program I've written up records for 30 seconds give or take. The smaller earlier version I'm trying to load here has a 26 second recording time. I hit play, ran the load program, and waited, but the lines never change and the...

I've recently been playing with a little Timex Sinclair 1000 I found, and of course I've come to want to store a few of my programs, and while I don't have any expendable cassettes, I did dig this up and was curious if anyone had experience using these as a tape replacement. It has 3.5mm in and...

So, turns out that it was just that I used the wrong disc when I first tried to boot it (at the time it was the only disc I had for it and it said not on it, though this was for booting an external hard disc and not the actual osborne). There is one thing that I found when I was able to stay...

Thanks for all of the help everybody! I'll hopefully get some time later today to try some of these and I'll post here how it goes!

I haven't seen the error, though it is possible that I just haven't waited long enough.

So would I be able to put a non-boot disc in to test, or would that just give me the dame error? Also, do I clean the heads with just some isopropyl alcohol and q-tips?

Hello! I've been working on an Osborne 1 I found and have gotten it to the point where everything powers on and displays the "please insert disc" prompt. The only thing is that the drives spin up, and the little red light goes on, but neither stop. Would this be an issue with the belts? If so...

That would make scene, since I found the real datapoint 3600, which was WAY older than this. I'll try to find something, but I doubt I'll be able to find any more than what you have. Either way it is nice to have a bit more information on this even if we don't have a name yet.

Here's a picture of the cpu!

This is just a place to share the coolest, rarest, and best stuff that you've found! Mine would probably be an osborne 1 with the double density and 80 column upgrade, as well as the modem that fits into the floppy disc storage cubby, along with a whole bunch of original software, and an...

Underneath the long pin strip it had some text identifying it as a DKL board. Does this mean anything to anyone?

Probably the rarest computer I own is a Canon navigator HD40, it has a phone, printer, fax, touchscreen, ibm pc compatible, all built in to the same chassis, in1990! I got it with all of the goodies, keyboard, mouse, weird plastic cable management cover (that bit of plastic is probably the...

Got a few more pictures after taking off the grounding plate. As usual if you need more feel free to ask!

Ah, ok

Yes, I had mentioned this earlier but it took absolutely forever for it to get approved.
