    Is the conversion as simple as swapping the black and white tube for a green one? If so, what part numbers should I look for or is there a good source to purchase them from? TIA

    AST 486DX4/100 TFT Color Laptop

    To be honest I don't remember where or when I got this. I dusted it off this morning and when I first turned it on the screen came up completely washed out. I turned it off and back and the screen came up fine each time, several times. I will test it again before shipping it. Asking 50 plus...

    Anyone interested in cloning Compaq Portable 386 Memory Add-ons?

    There's a 4mb base add-on card and then there's another 4mb add-on card that goes onto the first card. I picked up a spare 4mb base card and was wondering if anyone with the skills wanted to clone it? I have the secondary 4mb add-on cards too but they're in machines in storage at the moment.

    What hardware and software was this? Something I played with in my childhood.

    A long long time ago in the mid 90s I got to play with a luggable/all in one system. It had a form factor similar to the 5155/Compaq Portable/Osbourne, I think. It had either a an amber CRT or a plasma display, but I'm pretty sure it used an amber CRT. I seem to recall that the resolution...

    Advice with shipping 5150/XT systems and similar sized hardware

    Does anyone have a preferred box/packing materials for shipping systems like this? I have a LOT that I need to liquidate this winter. I saw someone mention extruded foam in another thread. Is that pretty much the insulation material you'd buy at Lowes?

    Power supply spikes after being powered off

    The power supply in my Compaq Portable 286 has a strange behavior after being turned off. All of the voltage rails drop to zero for a second, then they spike back up for a second, then down and up a couple more times. A high pitched squeak/squeal can be heard every time the voltages spike back...

    Compaq Portable 286 won't boot after running BIOS setup, may need ROM image

    I just picked up a Portable 286 and after replacing some shorted out capacitors it came to life. It had lost its hard drive type information so I needed to re-run the setup program for it. According to this document, I felt that it was safe to run the Version 8.00 DP256 setup.exe that I use...

    Can you mix and match riser cards?

    I want to re-use a packard bell case for nostalgia purposes, but I want something else in it besides the dead 386SX 16MHz board. If I fit a different board in it, could I reuse the ISA riser card without damaging anything as long as everything is an ISA connector?

    EDIT: Nevermind. I found some much better worded information on the web and also realized that I was looking at the wrong type of null modem cable. I'll post back if/when I get this working. http://www.dx.com/p/wireless-bluetooth-rs232-ttl-transceiver-module-80711#.U44U8vldV2E...

    Looking for a PC-98 System

    These were mostly sold in Japan. I don't know if they made them in this configuration, but I'd prefer one with a 3.5" floppy drive and a 5.25" floppy drive.
