Hi, For the HomeComputerMuseum I'm looking for big boxes of Windows. From Windows 1.0 till the latest. I don't need the software (though it'd be nice addition to be complete). So, not the little books with the CD or with a few disks in, but the big boxes. Let me know if you have one and I'm...

Hello, I recently was very lucky to find a complete Apple III (serial 13198 ) with Profiler (serial 153461 ) for a decent price. We also want to show this machine hands-on in the HomeComputerMuseum and therefor I want to have the machine up & running. This is how I got it: I even got the...

Hi, For some reason we received quite a lot of Apple II-clones in the HomeComputerMuseum lately. Some of them are obvious: Others, not so much: And today I got another one, same keyboard layout (with numeric pad), no labels whatsoever and nowhere branding. Is there any way to figure out...

Hi, I have an Exidy Sorcerer in the HomeComputerMuseum and it doesn't do what I expect it to do. It's connected to a S100 and that connects to a dual Micropolis drive. As soon as I give the command: go bc00 (or any other "go" command) it drops into the 9[] error which never stops. Reset...

Hi, I've been active for a while here, mostly in the Tandy part. Short story, started when I was 9-ish with collection (first collectors machine was a Philips P2000C), got rid of it when I was 16 (still regret that) and restarted collecting back in 2010 with an Amiga 500. Since then, thing got...

Hi, I have this very yellow Tandy 200 here (serial 503400028 ) and it worked around 6 months ago. Recently I tried to power it on but nothing, no light. At first I though the batteries were bad, so I measured them and it showed 5.2volts. I reckon, that would be enough but nothing. So, I got...

I think it's time to show a bit of my collection, particular the Tandy machines And only the Color Computers Missing on the picture is pretty much all documentation in both Dutch and English for Tandy Model 1 and Model 3, my 6 Amiga's, 1 MSX, Commodore 64s, 3 PowerMac G5s and a few XT and...

Now I have a beautiful M1 (with E.I.) and soon I'll have a beautiful M4 too. So, now I'd like to actually do more with it than boot the floppies that I own. I have a lot of cassettes as well and 2 Radio Shack cassette players. Recently I've tried to load a cassette into the M1, which worked (a...

A while ago I found in somebody's garagebox a Tandy TRS-80 Model 4. It had mold on the screen and was there for probably 10 years, buried under several boxes. I took it home and let it sit for a month in my room. Out of curiosity and knowing the filter would break in worst case scenario, I...

Yesterday I've been treasure hunting like 'American Pickers' at a friend who I only know as photographer. He has an immense collection of old (business) computers like Digital, VAX, IBM (5150s and such), Philips P2000's and ofcourse (amongst so much others) Tandy's. He had 1 Model III, 2 Model...

Hi, I'm looking for a working Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer 3. I'm aware I do need an adapter for the US to EU convertor and it'll probably be a NTSC instead of PAL, but that's all doable for me. I don't care that much about how it looks, as long as it works. I have everything I need, apart from...

I have a late PAL CoCo2 here which is never opened and looks as good as new. But since I have this, I experience weird colors on some of the games. At the beginning I thought it was due NTSC <--> PAL differences. But that wasn't a good explanation. So, I connected my old CRT today which has it...

Hi, I recently rescued this Tandy TRS-80 Model 1, including Expansion Interface and Tandy Monitor with a Floppy drive built in. The Tandy is bought in 1979 and was doing nothing for the last 10 years. The old owner recently turned it on (without interface) and it worked. Then he connected the...
