Hi guys, I have a little issue with my SS2 (kinda hard to explain in good English, but at least we still have the photo's): I picked up another SS2 (and a very cool SS20 with 2 CPU's) after "that other SS2" seemed to have memory mapping problems. So now I had this one, obviously RTC battery was...

Hi Guys, I just picked up some SUN stuff and among an Ultra 2 Enterprise (working, anfter the NVRAM repair) and SparcStation Classic (dead PSU), Ultra 30 (also working after NVRAM repair but missing one rubber foot) there also was a SparcStation 2. I like the flat pizza box design and it powers...

Hi guys, I 'm looking for a 2nd CPU for my rp3440 server... would be nice to max it out. It currently has 1 CPU: a PA-8900 @ 1.0GHz with 64MB cache (HP part#: AB535-62001). Been checking eBay and prices there are crazy if I can even find one (most is the 800Mhz PA8800). So if anyone here happens...

Hi guys, I've picked up something nice (I think): a Compaq Proliant CL3000, a Cluster Server. I can't find a lot about it, but it's a nice machine: two nodes in a tower case with a shared storage attached. Never seen one before, although in the past a customer of mine used to have a CL server...

Hi Guys, I'm trying to get a DoM (Disk on Module) working in my Sun Ultra 5 workstation. I've got myself an 8GB module. Booting the machine of course gives me the "corrupt label - wrong magic number" message. But when I boot from Solaris (8, SPARC july 2003) it asks me to format the disk and it...

Hi guys... well, after a week of loosing tape after tape and also 3 tape drives (QIC80 with all my old data, tapes didn't even survive a retension and I had about 50 tapes). Now also my 486 seems to have passed :-( The motherboard (or is it mainboard?) looks totally OK, I can't see anything...

Hi guys, Had some issues with my Compaq DeskPro 286e, but I also had a non working Compaq DeskPro 386s (386sx-16). That machine wouldn't boot according to the person I got it from, but it did count memory upto 384K and then would reboot... turned out all of the switch settings were exactly...

Hi guys... Just got a Compaq DeskPro 286n, nice machine and in good condition except for the Dallas being flat (and since it's socketed that was an easy fix, except the battery had to be rewired from underneath the drive cage). Anyhoo, I have a few things I'd like to know so I was hoping some...

Hi Guys, been some time but I have some questions: I've acquired some nice (to me anyway, as a Solaris/Tru64 fan long ago) machine for my collection: one HP Integrity RX2600 (with two Itanium2 CPU), one HP Integrity RP3440 (with that cool PA8900 1GHz/64MB cache CPU) and one HP 9000/800 E35...

Hi guys, Been wondering about something for some time now: I can't really figure out if there ever was a 230V (European) version of the early IBM 5150... you know, the one with the black PSU etc. I've sold my IBM collection (unfortunately, gone is the PC, XT, AT, luggable etc) and I was...

Hi guys, I recently picked up a really nice mid tower with Pentium guts inside (it was a 386 from brand "Trojan" LOL from 1993). The tower is really nice and very decent build quality (will do some pics when I get the yellowing off). Only problem is: the power switch is damaged and won't flip...

Hi Guys, I have a Q: I've bought a GUS Classic from someone on here some time ago and finally got round to using it in my 386 (or try to use it). Problem is, the card isn't found by the drivers. It just says: No GUS found. So uhm, is this card dead and a just a nice (rather expensive) display...

Hi guys, Just got an IBM PS/2 Model 57 Ultimedia computer and it's giving me some trouble... Upon startup it counts the RAM and then seems to be checking for boot disks (I see the HDD LED go on, off, floppy LED on, off) and then throws me an error i9990301. That should be no boot device found...

Hi guys, This is my first wanted post so be gentle please ;-) I'm looking for a replacement bezel for my slimline desktop case... I know this might be a long shot but I thought I'd try anyways. I've bought a P60 desktop a while back from eBay and was really happy I finally found one. Upon...

Hi guys, I've bought this OPTi chipset 486 mainboard (yes, from eBay). It's a very nice board: 8 SIMM slots, 3 VESA slots and what seems to be a lot of switch settings possible as well. Problem is, I can't find the board on Stason/TULARC anywhere and with so many switches (and nothing silk...

Hi guys, Just picked up another IBM XT 5160 from juni 1985. It was in very nice condition, all clean etc... just somehow they got both keyboard legs to break off :-( The keyboard is as new and both barrels are still in, but the legs that are supposed to come off when turned have broken off...

Hi Guys, I was just wondering about something and thought I'd ask here... I was going through my IBM pile of stuff (because of that weird floppy drive issue with the 5150) as I wanted to know if everything in storage still works. Well it does except for one thing: In my 5160 (one of them...

Hi guys, Following the weird floppy drive issue of an old IBM 5160 I got, I was cleaning it up and took the mainboard out to find this: It's in the CoPro socket, but I have no idea what it's for... anyone seen this before and know what it does? Switch 2 is still set to ON (no CoPro...

Hi guys, I have a bit of a weird situation here: the drive LEDs on my IBM PC/XT stay on all the time. I've been looking around for info and mostly it's because of the cable that's on backwards, but not this time. Weird thing is: the drives just work as if all was normal!! I can boot DOS 2.10...

Hi guys, I have a few IBM part for sale: 1. An IBM 5.25" floppy drive with MCA controller and bezel for PS/2 Model 60 or 80... 2. An IBM MCA External Floppy Drive adapter (somehow the pics are thumbnails to this post)...
