Hello folks, I've got an AT&T 6300 WGS that I'm looking to kit out with the period AT&T-ness to go along with. Inside the machine is a VDC400 video card, which seems to be a CGA-compatible card with the 25-pin connector that mates quite nicely with my two AT&T CRT-313-B monitors. (FWIW, the two...

(EDIT 6/6/21: I think I've tracked down what I need. I've found a Facit 4042 paper tape punch/reader combo, an HP 11144 ASCII bus interface, an 11272A extended I/O ROM, and what should hopefully be suitable paper rolls. If anyone needs paper rolls, PM me and we can work something out; I had to...

Hey folks, I've acquired an IBM 5154 monitor with no neck board nor power supply. I am adept at circuit board repair and know people who fix monitors, so as long as what I have isn't totally shot, I'd like to take a chance at saving it. Does anyone have a compatible neck board & power supply...

Hey there, if anyone happens to have some extra plastic lying around (in terms of these bezels), or can give me some good detailed pictures of these bezels for the IBM 8525, I'd appreciate it! The IBM part numbers according to http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/eprm/eprm/f157.htm are: 00F2117 and...

I've had these monitors for close to two years now and haven't been able to identify thheir purpose. I haven't attempted to power them up because I don't know what I can safely connect them to. They have an IEC plug that seems to go into the female port of a 5150-style computer (where you can...

Hello Comrades :p A while back, I contacted Mihail via the email address shared in this old "For Sale" post http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?57786-Soviet-DVK-3-PCs-available . Anyway, I guess the closest domestic thing to it is the DEC PRO 325 & 350. After probably 2 months back and...

Hey folks, thought I'd share my latest retrocomputing victory... :D Last Christmastime, I picked up an Amiga 2000 from channelmaniac who lives about 20 minutes from me. It runs lowly AmigaOS 2.0, not 3.9 much less 3.1. But combine that with the external SCSI CD-ROM drive I got a while ago...

Just today, I received this in the mail from a Goodwill auction: It's one of Tandy's "Computer Whiz" comics, with a healthy dose of promotional literature around the CoCo and Tandy 1000 mixed in with the story of kids who thwart a kidnapping. If you've never heard of these comics, you can...

There's a thread on Geekhack where a fellow is particularly interested in creating a new set of keycaps for modern keyboards that utilize the aesthetics of the GRiD Compass keyboard. The keycaps will be double-shot, but seemingly the biggest debate in the thread is which symbol to pad-print...

I decided I was about through with swapping disks 25 times while trying to load Photoshop 1.0.7, not to mention having to swap disks just to do other things like change settings or make a gradient. :p Sure it gives an authentic 1980s experience, but you only need to live it once! Here's my...
