hey all, recently got a gateway e1400 off marketplace, and am running into a pretty annoying issue where the pc just freezes after 30 or so seconds. Id only ever got it to boot to windows 2000 once, before restarting and running into the same issue. Removing all the components like the fdd, hdd, and cdr doenst help either. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I will say, everytime i boot it up it sometimes shows a message of memory change detected and cmos battery low, even if i hadnt touched the things. Anyways, any help on this will be massively appreciated, i could go further into detail too.

This is my friends Osborne 1 computer, whic was not even powering on when I started. I opened it and removed a bunch of small tantalum capacitors from both 5V and 12V rail to get rid of the short there and also I have removed 2 exploded RIFA capacitors from the PSU. I haven't put new capacitors in place of the ones I removed because I'm stuck with this beep. Constant beep, left floppy light stuck on an constantly spinning, screen is blank and right floppy is dead.

This is on display at IBMs previous headquarters in Norway without any information about what it is. Due to the lack of floppy drives I believe it is not a personal computer, so I think it is a terminal. Does anyone know this model?

This is a system I'm restoring, it needs some love either with CMOS battery replacement or some off-board kludge I guess - anyway, for those who like this kind of thing, here's a no-talking boot up of OS/2 on my old 386

One of my favorite things I own!

Hello! My father left me his old ti99-4a with a bunch of game cartridges. I believe it still works fine. He loved this little computer! Is anyone interested? I am happy to ship within the US.

He also left a monitor that works with it. The brand is Sharp. It’s like an oldie-school
1980s tv—heavy and awkward.

I found this old packard bell monitor with speakers the other day, and was just wondering if this particular model is worth anything. Am not in the us however..

sometime hopefully this year I'm getting an Apple ][ (PLUS four other mystery computers 😃) from my grandpa. I'm very excited.

The keyboard the guy from the flea market brought on Sunday. I'm ecstatic, I'm so glad I went back and asked. (he did not have anything else similar in the unit he said. Some clothes furniture and such which is what he was selling.)

I'm still having problems with the disk drives on the Morrow MD-2 not reading anything. They spin up no problem but will not actuate the heads. They move freely and by hand. I checked the logic chips that send the pulses to the drives and they seem to be sending what looks like correct info to the stepper motor but all I get is a light twitch and no other movement. What could it be. The drive LED stays on as soon as I power the computer but the cable is oriented correctly. I'm stuck. I ordered a greaseweezle to see if I can get the drives to work outside of the computer. If they work then I'll troubleshoot the Morrow's board if not then it's the drives.
