Trying to align a DuoDisk but the test points aren't the same as for a Disk ][. Anyone have any guidance? Thanks!

Like the title says, PM with what you have. Thanks! :)

Preferably a Dell Optiplex, but I probably won't be too choosy. PM with what you have, thanks!

My collection of vintage hardware has grown over the years, but I'm still left with the constant frustration of how to get data to and fro. I've used several solutions, but none really seem as convenient as having a so-called 'tweener' system that can both access a windows share on the network...

So I recently acquired a GRiDCase 3 that is in beautiful shape, except that its modem doesn't seem to work properly. Using the CrossTalk software (on EEPROM), I can't seem to get it to dial, and using the "POrts" command to select COM1 through COM4 just reports "No hardware found" or something...

Title says it all. PM if you have something to offer. Thanks :)

When I was a kid, we had a 5150 with IBM CGA graphics but a monochrome monitor. I thought it was a 5151, but I have since read that 5151s aren't compatible with IBM's CGA card. I have also found sources that said people did use 5151s with CGA cards. Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks...

AST Premium/286 AST Premium/486 These are next in the line of personal machines I owned over the years, after my IBM PC 5150. If anyone has a lead on one of these, let me know... Thanks!

After successfully using ADTPro the other evening, I started wondering if it'd be possible to create something similar, for the PC. I could envision building a simple RS232->XT Keyboard adapter, then using this to get things bootstrapped. Here are my amateurish(!) thoughts on how such a...

Thought I'd post some pics of the 5150 I recently acquired to replace my long gone original that I had when I was a kid... This was a Craigslist find; I had put up a Wanted to Buy post and a nice guy out East got in contact with me a couple weeks later. He was the original owner, having...

I have here a lot of relatively-recent computing gear taking up room here in my basement that might be of use to someone. If you'd like something, let me know. I'm looking to trade for vintage gear (hence why I post here as opposed to CL or the like) but some of it I might be willing to send...

My 5150 is old enough that it only came with the MGA board, and I'm looking for a CGA so I can play some games. I'd prefer to stick with true-blue IBM. Thanks!

Working on a hard drive retrofit for my 5150. Since the 5150's power supply doesn't have the juego for a hard drive, I'm looking for one from a 5160 that I can retrofit. Thanks!

I'm looking for a BIOS chip for the 5150 that contains the third version IBM released, which enables cards with Option ROMs to be used. Anyone? :)
