Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well. I'm looking for a working Tandon TM 100-1A full-height drive to replace the B: drive in my early Kaypro II. I've been working on the machine on and off for around a year and I've finally decided that the drive in there isn't worth fixing. (It's got...

Hey guys, quick question. I have a early 2000's Dell Dimension 4500S that I'm planning on using to write Kaypro II disk images using this method from Tezza's site. It runs Windows XP currently, but I was thinking about either using a Win98 boot disk or doing a clean install since '98 has 5.25"...

Hey everyone, wmh here! It's been over three years since I've posted on the VC forums, and it looks like a lot's changed since then. It's great to see most of you guys are still around though. :) Anyways, for the past year or so I've been looking for a solid Kaypro II to add to my "collection."...

Just wondering, does your output look kind of like this? On both my physical //c and AppleWin the TRACE command displays multiple numbers on each line...

As quite a few of you know, I'm probably going to be getting an IBM 5155 pretty soon. Instead of having to buy disks I want, I'd rather be able to download and burn images from my modern desktop. Blank disks are a little cheaper, if you know what I mean... :-) Is there any way to hook up a...

Does anyone else think that there should be an app for the VC forums? I know I'd use it. Most of the time I access this site I'm on my phone, and using it with a mobile browser can be a real pain... What do you guys think?

Hey guys, I was messing around with my //c today when I happened across something unusual in the Monitor ROM. At $FAB4, there's some sort of memory card test routine. It fails instantly with "?OVERFLOW ERROR" and says that the "1MB Memory Card" failed. This is obviously inaccurate, but has...

Hey guys, Lately I've been doing some toying with the Raspberry Pi. See here (http://www.raspberrypi.org/) if you haven't heard about it yet. I think it's a great machine, and it can really change things if it ends up in the right hands. But I wanted to gauge opinion on it here; what do you...

I finally got my iMac G3 to run OS 9.1. (Yay!) I was hoping that it'd have Terminal built in like OS X, but it doesn't. Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks again for all your help, guys.

(Mods, feel free to move this if it doesn't belong.) Hey guys, Just acquired my first Mac today, an iMac (G3.) It's pretty awesome, and it even has OS 9.2 on the hard drive. But, as usual, I don't have the password to log on. So, I downloaded a copy of OS 9, and tried burning it with Windows...

Hey guys, I've started an article on Diagnosing Common Apple II Problems in the Collecting and Using part of the wiki. Now I'm no expert on the real low-level stuff (you know, diagnosing bad chips and things) so I'm going to need some help writing the article. It could probably save all of us...
