My son cleaned his room and found an old eeePC he had borrowed a long time ago. So now I am trying to see how to make it useful. Maybe someone can help me with a few questions: 1. The system was clearly designed for MS Windows, as the keyboard has the typical Windows-keys. But it does run...

So I have a C64 now, and today obtained a 1701 monitor. Now I will be looking for a floppy drive. Just to make sure I don’t make mistakes: do I understand correctly that I will be needing a 1541? And if so, are there different versions that I should care about? Any other things I should look out...

Yes, I know it is my own decision, but still, insights would be appreciated: My collection is based on one criterium: it must be a system, or part of a system, or at least closely related to a system, I used to own or work with when younger. This way my collection is almost complete, but can be...

I have a monitor (colour) that works on my Atari ST. The connector looks similar to that of my Commodore 64, but it doesn’t seem to fit. Now I don’t know if I just have to use a bit more force, or these connectors are different. Does anyone know?

Totally irrelevant, but I found it funny and I know no other place where people even understand what I am talking about :giggle: Today I had a job interview for a position as “senior risk manager”, not even close to computers or vintage, but as soon as I answered the question what I do in my...

I read somewhere the Sharp PC-1500 was build around a low energy-version of the Z80. But when I found some documentation about programming it in machine language, what I saw was not exactly what I know to be Z80 assembly. So now I wonder, did I read wrong?

I stumbled upon a Z88 being offered for not to high a price. So now I am in dubio, it is not a system I have ever worked with, so it is beyond my collection scope. But on the other hand, it looks great and I have never seen one before, which makes it appealing. Does anyone know this system and...

On eBay I found a set of two diskdrives in one case, 5,25” with a switch for 40/80 tracks. The ribbon seems to have a connector not suitable for the TRS-80 ExpanSion Interface, but inside it looks like a normal connector. So I figured I could remove the existing ribbon cable, and put one fitting...

I got a perfect Model 1 Level 2 here in the Netherlands. Then I bought an Expansion Interface from Germany over eBay. It worked fine (well, at the moment that is just extra memory, still searching for good diskdrives). Today I moved the system to another desk a few metres away. Disconnected...

Hi, I have just recently been diving into vintage. My goal is to own all computers I owned before or worked with when I was young. And if that is to expensive, I just go for some souvenir :) My list at the moment: Casio FX-702P (own) Philips P2000 (not yet) TRS 80 model I level 2 with EI and...
