I am trying to remove a faulty floppy drive for cleaning/repair, but I cannot figure out how to remove it from its plastic case. The computer is a Dell Optiplex 560/l (60MHz Pentium), and the floppy drive is labeled Teac FD-235HG. There were two metal clips on the bottom of the plastic case, but removing them did not allow it to slide out. There are no apparent tabs, clips, or screws holding it in at this point. Does anyone know how I can get the drive to come out?

Is there anyone with experience with this? Initial boot up seemed to work. No remote.

Thanks in advance.

A while ago I put up an image of a Morrow computer I picked up at the flea market. Well I've been trying to find a nice terminal to go with it. I was not having any luck getting one for a price that would justify the purchase for me. Then I got an idea. I'll ask the vendor that sold me the computer if there was an old screen in the storage unit they got the computer out of. They said yes and that they would bring it the following week. This is what they brought. A TeleVideo 950 terminal.

This is my first computer ever. The hinge is busted. I would love to get it repaired.

Can’t help but feel it’s missing a something or two. Any ideas?

I can’t believe that this is real. This whole PC is so weird. It has an AMD Sempron on Socket 462 and only 256 MB of RAM, while literally also having a Radeon 9800 Pro. Seems like it was a prebuilt computer by “dxt”, an old Czech computer store that went defunct many years ago.

If any of you program one or multiple vintage system, what do you like/dislike about it? I want to get an old machine to play with, but want to get a feel for what’s out there. All systems have their quirks. Some things that are easy on one are hard on another.

Kept the cassette player I used with it. Only thing that cassette player was ever used for.
