Hello Could this have any real value? It has practically never been used, it has all accessories except the box Thanks for the answers!
Hey everyone I found this video and I’d really love to recreate this. But there is zero information online. I know there’s modern things that you can insert any photo and then it into this kinda artwork. But I’m far more interested in doing it with old computer and dot matrix printer.
I am working on a teaching demo focused on liquid cooling in computing and would like to show some examples of the thermal conduction modules (TCM) that were used by IBM, Hitachi, and Fujitsu mainframes. Does anyone here have one that they may be willing to sell or know someone who can help? Any help would go a long way.
hey guys , im trying to get a couple of compaq prolinea 25/s and 66/s's up and running but all of them are missing ram. i know these things are super picky , can any one tell me the exact kind of ram these take ?
So I have a windows 98 computer that I need to get sound drivers for. The sound card I have in it is a genius sound maker card. Windows detects it as a "cmi8738/c3dx" audio device. I can't seem to find any drivers that work, it keeps telling me to insert the windows98 cdrom and I'm not really sure why
In 1991 I got a job at a securities brokerage company, writing code on the IBM RS/6000 (with a Windows front end) for a replacement for the desktop brokerage system I'm about to describe. I don't think the hardware was designed specifically to be used for trading, but I have never seen one outside of the corporate world. The system consisted of various vertical modules - probably about 12" high - that could be bolted together (similar to the TI/994A, but taller, and the keyboard was external) to add additional features. Most systems in the office had only two or three modules, but ISTR seeing a few with more. The modules were not all the same width. When I joined the company this system would already have been several years old; I'm assuming it was originally designed in the early to mid 1980s.
❤️ finding this stuff in the wild !!! Quick little video with me getting way too excited pulling stuff out of a box !!! 📦 Very minty 🍃
Hello guys, I have an idea for my dad’s Christmas gift. He’s been a Python enthusiast for a long time, and I’d like to create a cool retro setup for him. My plan is to buy an old computer (like a Kaypro), replace its internals with a Raspberry Pi running in terminal mode (without the graphical interface), and connect it to the CRT screen and maybe even the original keyboard. That way, he can program his stuff on a vintage-style setup.
The thing is, I’m not sure if this is possible or if it’s too complex to pull off. Can you help me figure it out?
I just ended up coming across a new in plastic and box1986 MS-DOS 3.2 operating system. I tried looking this up on ebay and Google and cannot find much information on it or what it would be worth or how I would go about selling it. I was just wondering if anyone had any information. Thanks in advanced!!
Power board says May of 83. Back when stuff was big enough to work on 🙂

I’m helping my in-laws clean their basement and we found these old computer monitors. Are they just junk or are they worth saving?
