    Psion 3a fault

    I was happily testing a new Pipemania SSD on my Psion Series 3a today, when suddenly the screen went black and the device made a constant clicking noise, like one of the buttons was stuck down. "No problem", I thought.... I'll do a hard reset, and everything will be fine. No. It's totally...

    Psion Organiser (the original)

    All, Not mine, but I thought I would highlight this bargain: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201785723786?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I've got one already, but this is a great price for a working original Psion Organiser. Thanks.

    Boot disk (English) for Olivetti Prodest PC1

    I've got a DOS 3.2 boot disk for my Olivetti Prodest PC1, but it is in Italian. I wondered if anybody had access to boot disks that came with the English versions of this PC? Thank you.

    Score! Olivetti Prodest PC1

    I was contacted out-of-the-blue by a guy offering an Olivetti Prodest PC1, and he wanted it gone ASAP. His email said unless somebody collected it, it would go down the recycling centre (see: city dump). The email was sent (blind) to more than just me, so I knew I had to get in there quick...

    FE00002 201-Memory Error on Compaq Deskpro 386S

    All of a sudden, I'm getting memory errors on my Compaq Deskpro 386S. I seem to recall this happened before, and was maybe a side-effect of the Dallas RTC battery chip failing. Any ideas?

    Compaq QIC tape drive

    I was hoping to one day get a hold of a 'era authentic' QIC tape drive for my Compaq Deskpro 386S. I don't really see these come up often on eBay. Anybody know of a good (cheap) source? Thank-you.

    IBM PC 5150.... leave as standard or 'upgrade' to VGA?

    I have an IBM PC 5150, and admittedly, I've already been giving it some upgrades, like an XT-IDE card, but I'm wondering about replacing the Color Graphics adapter with VGA, so that I can use a (larger) modern display. It seems that getting a compatible (8bit) VGA card is fraught with issues...

    TinyHost

    I wanted to play with a simple BBS system, dialling into it across my PBX from various vintage machines. Using VMWare Player, I installed an MS-DOS machine with DOS 6.22 in a small virtual machine, and installed a program called TinyHost 3.3.1. It works a treat, but comes up with 'nag' screens...

    ICQ / Yahoo Messenger

    All, I was hoping to install a copy of one of these programs on my Windows 95 laptop, which I connect to the Internet using Dial-up networking (through a PABX to my own gateway, which routes all traffic through my broadband connection). I have some old installs of these programs: 16/12/2009...

    Apps for Psion MC400

    A quick question on my new Psion MC400..... The unit came with a 256Kb Flash SSD in one of the slots, and this seems to hold the apps. If I boot the machine without this SSD in, the apps don't work anyway. Is this normal? I thought the apps were built into the ROM of the machine. I have...

    Psion MC400

    Looks like I scored myself a fully working mint condition Psion MC400 for the bargain price of £40. It will be taking its place, front-and-centre in my collection. http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=737&st=1 Just got to be patient, and wait for the post man to deliver it...
