Hi All, I have some very dirty mainboards for an Eagle CP/M computer and just for kicks and giggles I decided to Google how to clean a computer motherboard and one of the methods I ran across is to soak it in 99% isopropyl alcohol and gently scrub it. That recommendation seems kind of insane...

Hi All, So a while back I bought a Kaypro from this guy and it was DOA. Broken keyboard connector, no video and it wouldn't boot. So I figured out the video issue, found the parts to rebuild the keyboard connector but it turns out that the problem with the booting is because one of the pins has...

Hi All, Just wanted to let the forum know I made a purchase from the Ebay seller vintage computer museum. I know that a number of folks here don't think much of them, but I needed a replacement mainboard for my Eagle computer and they were the only game in town. Unfortunately, the board was...

Hi All, Recently broke out my old C128 and was playing around with CP/M. I have two 1571 disk drives attached to the system and wanted to format a new blank disk in drive B: so naturally I entered at the A: prompt format B: No dice it keeps defaulting to drive A: No it's not a big deal to...

Hi Guys, Yeah I pretty much figured 80 col composite was a lost cause. I vaguely remember attempts to do 80 col composite on the Commodore 64 and it was bad, a company (Hesware I think) came out with an 80 col cartridge for the C64, (I had one) and it was pathetic, which is why when Commodore...

Hi All, So I have a Apple IIe that I have been playing around with. It came with a Microsoft Premium Z80 CP/M card. I finally got the CP/M boot disk down loaded and booted it to CP/M. CP/M runs in 80 columns and it is almost unreadable. Thinking that it was the box I am using to hook the Apple...
