As title suggests, everything that have come in the box with it other then the warranty card. Throw me an offer, don't mind if it is International. Diskette will be thrown into a hard shell for shipping. Also get a free 512mb usb thumbstick with lanyard. :) (ya its crap but its great for a gotek!)

So I finally got around to getting the new controller (Everex EV-390 bios 3.92) into the XT, and trying to get the hard drive to boot. So far, I have been able to create a 1mb partition, with few errors. I can get that to boot fine. Problem I have is the drive has at least 1.4mb of bad sectors...

So in my collection a long time was a pile of Model 60 parts. Right now im in the midst of repairing a 286 motherboard. Going to make a nice upgraded system out of it since it has a PLCC to PGA DIP socket. It will allow installation of a PGA socket for a Kingston 486 SLC2/50 cpu upgrade that I...

So I need some help identifying this card I just got for a good deal... Has 128kb ram, printer port and serial port. Upper left hand corner it says MF512AT Rev2... Guessing its for a 512kb AT, to boost to 640kb. Checked Total Hardware 99 and it wasn't in there. Perhaps one of you recognize it...

So I am having a weird situation going on... I recently pulled out my old ST-225. I spun it up now and then ever year just to keep the heads from sticking. Anywho... So when I went to try to read the data, the drive refused to allow me to even see the fat table. So figuring whatever data was...

Anyone know the cfm specs on the Compaq Portable I power supply? Fan in my machine still works, but the bearing is pretty worn. So looking not so much for an OEM replacement, but something more modern? Rather run something quieter and 12v if possible.

Looking for a BOOTABLE 8 bit SCSI card with bios. Recently acquired a Compaq Portable and wanted to do something a lil different then XT-IDE/CF. I want to use BlueSCSI on it. Figured it be more period correct compared (bootable bios coding is at least). Let me know if you have one for a...

Building a pentium pro system and I have a few options... Motherboard is an Intel PR440FX (dual 200/256) so nothing fancy but have 2 IBM/Plextor lvd drives attached. I have a couple SCA drives but all 7.2k atm. Is it worth it to find 15k drives or should I just use IDE with CF cards? The drives...
