You may have seen last year's post about my PowerComputing PowerCenter Pro 180. I recently acquired a UMAX SuperMac C500, making that my latest Mac clone addition in my collection. It only needed an HDD as it was missing the HDD, but it works like a charm. Has a 180MHz PowerPC 603ev, 48MB of RAM...

Yesterday while working at a e-waste event, someone dropped off a PET 4032 for recycling. Thankfully my co-worker quickly spotted it and set it aside for me, as he knows I am into vintage computers. After taking it home, I did a quick test and it came to life. The only issue it had was that some...

Looking for a 486 Interposer/Voltage Converter so I can use my 5x86 upgrade on my Magitronic 486 system as the board only supports 5v processors.

Here are my 2 Apple II series (a ][ Plus and a late Platinum //e) ][ Plus with Apple Drawing Tablet, Paddles, 2 x Apple Disk IIs, & Green phosphor monitor: //e Platinum with DuoDisk and AppleColor Composite Monitor & CH Joystick These used to be props at the Gowanus E-Waste Warehouse, but...

Not sure if this is the right category to submit documentation, but here is at long last, the Magnavox Manual 8517, which is actually a full-blown service manual which includes the jumper settings, all FDDs options, all HDD options, all CD-ROM options (if it was a CD model), schematics and etc...

This is the third of recently acquired vintage computers from my workplace, a Monorail 7245 all-in-one. It used to be a rental prop as my workplace used to have a prop rental service until COVID-19 clusterf**ked our e-waste program (and the current location is in the process of being vacated...

Here's my other Magitronic PC, a 486-class tower. Got it at the same place I got the Magitronic laptop, my workplace. For the past few years, I've had a Magitronic keyboard (a rebadged Focus FK-2001 alps switch keyboard), and I've been wanting to find one of their tower PCs, until this one...

Recently got this from my workplace for $5. As we were liquidating our inventory of various props, including several vintage laptops (they all went to happy new homes thankfully instead of being recycled), I noticed this one sported a Magitronic logo (mainly the reason why I got it as i have a...

While not really a PC score, but rather a keyboard score (since it doesn't seem to have its own section). While randomly thrifting at my local Salvation Army today, I saw this box sitting at the back of the store, near the electronics section. Initially thought it was just an ordinary IBM...

Picked this up a few days ago from a PC shop for only $15, which has a surplus of PC's of various ages. According to Dell, this one was shipped on March 25, 1999. Hardware Specs: 500Mhz Intel Pentium III "Katmai" / 512K L2 / 100MHz FSB / Slot 1 512MB PC-100 SD-RAM (can do up...

So apparently found out the laptop itself has 4MB built-in RAM when i removed the expansion module: This is the 4MB expansion module: and this is where the expansion module attaches to: Any idea what type of RAM this would be? I want to be able to expand the RAM past 8MB, at least to...

To be more specific, i'm looking for the CCFL for the Hitachi LMG9300XUCC-A1 panel that's on my Targa TS30AS. As i went to diagnose why the backlight wasn't working, it turns out the CCFL broke, but the display is otherwise unharmed (oddly enough the yellow speckles that showed previously also...

So here's the deal, i upgraded the stock 450MB Seagate HDD to a 20GB IBM TravelStar with the OnStar DDO. Once i boot, it states that in order to install Windows 95 OSR 2.5 from a CD, i would need a startup floppy with the necessary CD-ROM drivers, and i only have a Panasonic external CD-ROM...

You may remember my Targa TS30AS laptop that i posted a while back when i first joined the forums. It isn't in the greatest of shape, but still works as it should, bought it from eBay months ago. Sadly the LCD's backlight recently quit working and i have no idea if anyone would have a...

I know a made a post about this laptop on an earlier thread, but never did made a proper post of it. It's one of the better known re-brands of the Compal N30W, which i got this laptop along with a Dell Latitude D600 for free. Not sure if it would gain any interest. It's powered by a 600MHz...

Back when i was a kid, my mom used to have a Toshiba Satellite 4850CT, which i used to play Chips Challenge a lot with it. Of course being a kid, i eventually began playing around with it, but at one point, the OS went completely corrupt, and i think i disassembled it and then reassemble it a...

I'm sure you remember my earlier post about this PC I've been considering maxing out the ram to 8MB via the SIMM bank, but what confuses me is in the service manual, it mentions that this pc can expand up to 16MB of total RAM via expansion boards. Is this expansion board the service manual...

Went over to a friend's to help her move some stuff, and got to take these two Dell laptops home (Dell Inspiron 5000 & Dell Latitude D600) I also got a free Lenovo 1024 x 768 LCD monitor which i will be using to test PC's that i fix up for other people and new arrivals. Here's the specs...

I had a few extra SD-RAM sticks laying around which aren't of any use to me anymore since only one of my computers still uses SD-RAM and it's maxed out at 512MB. Free shipping or can arrange for pickup if within NYC. 32MB PC-100 SDRAM, works on Macs too - $5 2 x 256MB PC-133 SDRAM, ECC - $10...
