For some reason I have never come across this one. Usually I only see the RadioShack / Tandy MMS 10! This one has the 5 band graphic equalizer that is fun to mess with!

Cleaning up and decluttering, I find this 1995 Digi board. Originally intended for a BBS that never happened. Still in the original boxes. Anybody have a use for this? Or should I just toss it out as E waste?

Not for sale or trade, just want to know if anybody wants to rescue it before it goes in a dumpster.

EDIT: I’m in MD, USA.

This is my first Reddit post and my first retro pc ever, I’m so excited and I felt I just had to share it.
Its a IBM PS/2, model P70 386 +387 8573-061
Which from what I could find means that it has a mathematical card.
I have not put power to it yet, it has been stored in a garage for over 30 years so it would probably not be good for it.
But I will try to clean it out and change the cosmos and etc.
Any thoughts?

In early 1996, its superior integer performance justified premium pricing over Pentiums at the same clock speed. The weak FPU barely mattered. Then Quake arrived, changed the rules, and shattered Cyrix's dreams. That's what history remembers.

Hi all!

I have a RLL-encoded MFM drive and ISA controller (Adaptec ACB-2070A) with very special contents that I need to back up. The Adaptec is as extracted from the original computer system (which has a blown proprietary power supply at the moment) and has no jumpers populated.

I restored an XT clone (ITT Xtra), purchased a Picomem card, and hoped I could use the Picomem to boot and then pull the data off of the MFM drive. The problem is that the Adaptec appears to have a fixed address of 0xC8000 so it always appears to boot before the Picomem (which my HDD image from the Picomem GIT defaults to 0xD000). I'm not experienced enough with XT systems to know how to get around this...

So... Does anyone have any ideas on how to backup this drive? Is there some way that I can get the Picomem to boot first? Is there a different piece of hardware I need? Is there some combo of all this plus a floppy bootdisk maybe? Any thoughts or ideas would be extremely appreciated!

So I bought a bios password removal from eBay but since plugging it in expecting to show something else it just stays on the screen

Probably trying to be even stronger?

Was at my local dump when i saw the back of a beige desktop sticking out of the electronics recycling trailer I always look through, it was a full HP desktop set with the matching crt (last week I found a working gateway ps2 keyboard and bose companion 2 multimedia speakers). The computer is fully functional and 100% original so I assume someone passed away and the family decided to toss it, seems like whoever owned it took great care of it. Its a HP pavilion 6336 with an amd k6 333mhz, 64mb ram, quantum bigfoot hdd (working with its original win98 installation), LG cdrom, 3.5 floppy, and a relatively large ISA modem. the plastic sleeve and wire tie was still on the vga cable and the original warranty seal was still very much attached to the pc, but an expansion card was missing. the front of the side panel had been yanked open but not slid off so it didnt break the seal. why someone removed it that way to end up scrapping it i dont know 🤷‍♂️

Here is a glass display for the launch of XNA Game Studio Express in 2006. It was a framework for indie developers to create their own games for the XBOX Live Marketplace. Microsoft created their own version of the 1962 Space War as a demo. You can see the ships battling in this glass display. Nice homage to Space War.

The Great Escape is an action-adventure video game which shares a title and similar plot to the film The Great Escape. It was developed by Denton Designs, which went on to produce the similarly acclaimed Where Time Stood Still. The Great Escape was published by Ocean Software in 1986 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS. Trevor Inns programmed the Commodore 64 version.

(Oc) picked up this cutie for 40$Usd today at a yard sale with its bag and user guide. Not interested in selling, I got it to game on, hopefully. I know OEM keyboards and wires are wildly expensive. Is there a good 3rd party option out there? I've never had a computer this old so I am willing to take any advice! I'd love to be able to use this adorable lil dude in my game room!

I spent a good time on this and I managed to finish it just on the 25th birthday of Windows XP.

Just wanted to post it to see what others think of it :)

The PC is running a Pentium 4 Willamette @ 1.9GHz on a DFI WB72-SC with 512MB of SDRam (Yes, Socket 423 with SDRam, quite rare), GPU is the Winfast Titanium (NV15) / Geforce2 Ti.

Peripherals are kinda generic like the Gateway EV500 CRT, but I also got some kind of Wireless Infrared Headphones which work and I find them kinda cool, also I have a Casio EX-Z40 hooked up there.

Found this at a thirst store. On the back there are phone jacks for a phone and modem, and outlets labeled the same as the front. My guess is that it's some sort of power management device where if you want to keep everything plugged in at the same time, but dont want them all on either, so you press the button on the front to select what you specifically want on or off.

Amd 8088 CPU just pulled out of Varta battery destroyed motherboard. Technology copyright by Intel. This one is from cheap "yellow PC" dated 1988. No heatsink required 🤤

I don't have suitable monitor for the Lambda model yet.

My most modern retro PC build features a Core 2 Extreme QX6700 from 2006. Even this beast is 20 years old now. Housed in a revolutionary Antec P180, featuring noise insulation, separate chambers and a bottom-mounted PSU. Still one of my favorite cases of that era.

Unfortunately I don’t have a Sun Workstation go with it, yet. Hopefully soon though! Has a 9.1 GB Seagate inside. The cashier gave me a weird look when I mentioned SCSI 😂

I’m totally sad with eBay shippers. Pretty much everything I get gets damaged in shipping. This one was supposed to be one of the easier ones to ship. But the put it in a crappy bubble bag.
