Good Day All, My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere and also if this is the wrong forum for this. I ran across this article last night about a brand new 386 based "Laptop" being sold. This is NOT New Old Stock. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/hand-386-handheld They also talk about...

Hello All, I recently aquired a Mint Gateway 2000 386 DX 33 system. NO Math Coprocessor, 4 megs of ram. The original Caviar 2120 seems to have perished, and I need a much later BIOS to use one of the many larger Hard Drives I have. According to a what I have researched, I need this particular...

Hi All :) Just today, an acquaintance gave me an Osborne 1 missing it's CRT that he recently acquired but did not test. I wanted to see if it would power up and when I plugged it in and turned it on, It made a small beep sound, but nothing else happened. No drive lights no fan spinning, no...

Can anyone point me to one out there on the net? Better yet, If anyone has one I'd be very grateful! I don't want to go poking at this thing without some guidance. Thanks!

Hi all, Has anyone used or seen one of these generic ISA NIC cards before? I cannot find a make or model anywhere on the card. All I can find is Winbond W89C905F which is printed on the largest of the chips on the card. I found this card inside a defective IBM XT that I made whole, and the card...

Hi all, Has anyone run one of these Eagle Systems-Novell NE2000T Plus in a XT or 8088/86 based system before? It's a 16 bit ISA card, but I read many of the NE2000 based cards work in a 8 bit slot and function as a NE1000. If I run PcPro for Dos, it DOES show a card being recognized. It...

Hi All :) I recently acquired a Nice IBM XT. When I got it, It was dead, no POST. In doing some research, I found out the first bank of memory had defects by swapping out the second bank for the first. http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/failure.htm Long story short. I moved things around and...

Gauging interest on this one. Local pickup only, Suburbs of Buffalo NY. PM if interested. Thanks as Always!

Hi All, First time doing something like this, usually I am the one buying! I want to thin down the collection to make some room for some more stuff, so here is what I am putting up :) 1. Televideo TS-803. I have not used this in ages and have no literature or software anymore. It does power...

Hello All I'm thinking of offering up my Televideo TS-803 CP/M machine and my GRID 1520 Laptop for some other vintage machinery. Just curious if you guys have a estimated current worth/value for each? I very rarely sell what I have, as I like bartering much more. I just want it to be a fair...

Hi all, Just acquired a Toshiba T1850C laptop. The little guy has a 386 SX 25 CPU with 12 megs of ram. The floppy initially stuck and would not read anything, but i finally got it free and is working. The hard drive tho is stone dead. It makes buzzing and musical tones when the power is on :)...

Hi all :) I just picked up a Hyundai First Step IBM XT clone for free. It has a Super 16 system board, and a 16mhz 8088 Siemens CPU. Very Cool! It also has a matching Hyundai Monochrome Monitor Model HMM-1200. Problem is I cannot get the pc to boot, let alone turn on. If I attach the...

Hi all, I am trying to remember a old book i read many years ago about building your own clone. I do believe it was published in the late 80's I cold of sworn it was something like build your own 286 or 386 clone. I know I know.. generic. What vividly remember was the cover. the cover had a...

Hi all :) Please excuse my ignorance on this one. I am new to orange gas plasma screens :) I have a GRiDCASE 1520, and was wondering if any old CGA games would play on this bad boy. I had a old copy of Popcorn, a arkanoid clone, and installed it. It starts but displays a block on the left...

Hi all :) I'm brand new to the forums and wanted to say Hiya to everyone. I have been playing with pooters since the late 80's. My first computer I ever owned was a TI 99/4A. I saved up cutting grass the whole summer for that one. On my way home from picking it up, I went over to local...
