    Need a TRS 80 Model 4 5.25" drive

    My Model 4 works, but not the 2nd drive. Head moves 1/2 way and then stops. I found the head frozen in the 1/2 spot, and with some work, got it to move freely, but it is not yet happy. Does anyone have a spare drive they would be willing to sell? Contact me with private message, thanks.

    How to open IBM PC AT keyboard?

    Is there a trick to opening the IBM PC AT keyboard. The keyboard says IBM PC AT on the 1" square metal plate. I unscrewed the 4 screws on the underside and on one side. One side is loose, but the other is not. I don't want to force it without knowing if there is something I am missing.

    I have an IBM 5151 monochrome monitor that has not been used for many years. I cleaned it up, inside and out, and turned it on using the B&W/Parallel card in my IBM 5150 PC. It worked, but the 80x24 character image only took up 60% of the screen's real estate. I adjusted the V-Size control to...
