Hi all! I've recently gotten this cute Ambra (IBM) SN8660 / SN425 mini laptop. Came complete with original 70MB HDD & 4MB proprietary RAM expansion. ^^ Unfortunately I don't have the power supply... It uses a 4-pin snap-lock mini-DIN for power, same plug as a Mac G4 Cube or some Wacom...

I'm trying to build a DOS game that was developed using a commercial utility called Opus Make. You used to be able to download a functional demo here, but the submission form is defunct & it looks like the website is long-abandoned. Does anyone have a copy of this lying around? Alternately, I...

As the title says, just seeing what's out there. I'm getting annoyed at the flakeyness & lack of expansion slots on my Asus P5A-B. Looking for a similar board from Gigabyte, MSI, Jetway, FIC, etc. Must have AGP, >3 PCI slots and >=2 ISA slots, ATX power connector, and preferably full ATX I/O...

As the title says. I'm trying to move my hobby tinkering away from full-size towers onto little boxes. Thin clients, "digital signage controllers", PC/104 stacks, single-board PCs, etc. Looking for stuff roughly from the Win95 era or later & capable of booting from local storage. Especially...

Anyone want a factory sealed big-box copy of OS/X Tiger? It's in really nice shape except for one small tape blemish on the front cover (on the top left arm of the 'X'.) Both top & bottom seals intact; never been opened. I can provide better pics if there's interest. Looking for $25 USD ish +...

I have a few beige boxes (386~P2) that need to find a good home ASAP. The local market for this stuff is nonexistent, so I'll probably end up using Ebay. I've been putting it off because I REALLY don't feel like having them get trashed in shipping, and having to deal with returns, insurance...

The things you find out thrifting: Full-size pics (Cassette for scale) Inside are four ... drink coasters? made to look like floppies. Anyone know anything about this? It looks like it was officially-licensed by IBM, and made in 1984 or thereabouts. Unfortunately, I looked around for any...

A while ago I got a stack of basket-case mechanical keyboards that I've been restoring. This one is a Datacomp DFK-555 or maybe 86-43 according to the PCB. I can't seem to find a schmatic or a good photo of the inside of one of these online. Does anyone one & want to pop it open, or can help me...

Just listed this on Ebay. Wasn't sure what to ask, but it needs a new home, so low starting bid. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133073167760 On the one hand, RARE UNRELEASED APPLE PROTOTYPE ST3VE JERBS L@@K On the other hand, early-'90s WebTV. :P These don't do much as-is since the servers are long...

Hey all, I'm looking for a few bits and pieces for a "gen-before-last" design Dell minitower. One like this: The same case was used for the Optiplex GX620, 745, 755, 760, 780, and maybe a few other models. Specifically I need the front IO panel piece (the one with the USB ports, audio jacks...

Selling off this beauty of a 386SX/25. I already have a DX/25 in my setup so this is just sitting in my closet doing nothing. Better if it goes to someone who will use it. Almost everything works, including the 44MB Miniscribe drive which it happily boots from. Barrel battery has been removed...

I have this XT-style case in great condition up for grabs. It's branded an "IDM pc/xt" or maybe "pclxt" (italics makes this unclear.) I can't find any info about this system. Super solid case, all-metal construction except the plastic face, no broken tabs or other problems. It's slightly...

Looking for a higher-speed (400+ MHz) K6-2 or 3 with a 1999 build date or maybe very early 2000. The 3rd line on the chip should say something like "x 9918xxx" or "x 0020xxx" - the 4 digit number is the date code (year, week in format YYWW.) If you're unsure, post up what you have & I'll...

Kind of specific topic but just thought I'd ask. I'm looking to replace my HD4670 with something more modern, for "light" gaming including Steam/Proton use. One of these has popped up on my local for-sale site for cheap. This seems to tick all the boxes for me: - 2GB - Cape Verde/GCN1.0 -...

I want to create my own text roll-in & roll-out effects for overlaying on video, taking inspiration from demoscene scrolltexts and diskmags mostly. I have no qualms about scripting up some effects in Python or something, but I need a painless way to incorporate what I make into video projects...

A guy on my local site is selling these 4GB modules: I'm confused because they look like registered modules (buffer chip in the middle), but the P designation implies un-registered, and that part number comes up as unreg in a few places when searching around. Also, the notch key is the same...

This is probably a long-shot, but I know some of you deal in decommissioned business workstations, so... I'm looking for a full-length PCI slot bracket for an ATI FirePro MV 2260. It has two displayport slots and two screw tabs on the bottom for mounting to the card. Here's the SFF version I...

I have this ~2011 HP Touchsmart TM2 convertible tablet/laptop thing. It's not my regular daily driver, but I always seem to find uses for it so I've kept it around. Last year it was working completely fine, still getting good (3hr+) battery life and charging normally. I stuck it on a...

I have a 512MB Sandisk CF card in my 386 in a CF-IDE adapter. Lately I've noticed it works fine for a few minutes when cold booted, but after that it becomes impossible to write to. Attempted writes cause a long delay and then a disk I/O error. You can use it all day long if you only read from...

I was playing some games on my iMac G3. Everything was going fine until I got to Prince of Persia 2, which demanded I turn off virtual memory. I did so, and now it refuses to boot; it gets past the "starting up" screen where it shows all the icons across the bottom, switches to a blue background...
