Hi all!
I've been in the vintage computer hobby since they were new. I started out with a 386 PC, Videopac and a Sega Master System II. I've had a C64 collection but sold it 10 years ago. Recently, I've revived my Sega MS2 by doing the region mod and giving it a SCART RGB output for my HDTV. I've added a first gen Mega Drive and did the same.
Recently, I've acquired a rather large vintage computer collection and I want to revive it. It looks like it hasn't been used for some years, so I want to go careful about it. If it's OK for this forum, I'll use this thread to bundle my more "superficial" questions as otherwise it would be all over the place as we're talking about quite some different systems. Once a faulty system has been identified and it needs an in-depth repair, I'll certainly move to the correct subforum for that.
My level of knowledge: I have some experience with vintage computers. I have a basic knowledge of electronics, soldering. I have a DMM and a simple bench supply. I also have a variac (variable autotransformer).
I'll try to focus on 1 system at a time, even though that's against my nature.
