Going trough my pile of ISA cards, finding strange stuff. #Zilog SCC based serial card, Topcode Sync, Lantastic voice cards, etc. #vintagehardware

Found this old thing at work. Wonder why they have kept it. #vintagetypewriter #ibm #ibm6747 #vintagehardware

I did not imagine this Frankenstein of a connection to my veteran scsi slide scanner would just work. Literally plugged it all in and VueScan found the scanner and produced an image. I was expecting many, many hours of troubleshooting for this to work. My digital hoarder tendencies that resulted in keeping a pci scsi card for multiple decades with no reasonable expectation of it EVER being used have now been vindicated.

Macintosh Quadra 950. This was bought from a author of, lets say, tinfoil hat themes.

I don't often take moon pictures, but when I do I store them on AMPEX FR-900.

Any hints on fixing a #Sinclair PC200 PSU? The fuse blew. Found schematics but I don't know what to look for.

It appears, as I read it, that this may be the last moment to purchase an F18A FPGA VDP VGA board, a highly enhanced hardware replacement for the VDP in systems using the TMS9918A graphics chip, such as the TI-99/4A, ColecoVision, and MSX systems.

It seems the last pre-order from SHIFT838 ends on March 7 -- and that will be -it- for production of this unit by SHIFT838.

So, if you want one, now is the time. (I have one in my '99 and it's driving the 80-column ANSI display shown in my earlier toot.)

alrighty. i got this #westinghouse record player and radio cabinet. sadly it got pretty damaged in shipping (shipper's issue, it was well packaged and on a pallet). is it worth saving the tube amp/radio receiver? is this one of those holy grail amps that sounds incredible? and where do i get a replacement glass decorative plate that goes in front of the tuning dial?

@mock Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich, wie gut sich alte Macs noch nutzen lassen.
Nur etwas schade, dass Apples Betriebssystem-Politik das etwas durcheinanderbringt… Ich habe inzwischen einfach keinen Plan mehr, welches System aus welchem Jahr ist…
Mal schauen… Eventuell haue ich Linux drauf… Einen Nutzen werde ich schon finden #OldMac #iMac #VintageHardware

Looking for open source / free window software that works with an HP DAT 72 USB Digital Data Storage drive... Any ideas? #vintagehardware ?

So, after the birdsite migration there are a lot more vintage tech enthusiasts around...

Does anybody have the right 5.25" diskette images for doing an azimuth calibration on an Apple Disk II diskette drive?

I have the "Alignment Aid" diskette, but I need an "Alignment Diskette". Alternative methods to fully re-align and maintain a Disk II drive would also be very helpful. I'm getting I/O errors. I've fully recalibrated one of my drives, verified my diskettes are good, but the other drive was more heavily used and is in worse shape.

Boosts greatly appreciated. I've been looking for awhile.

What is the oldest piece of tech still operating in your home/office? I’ll start.

Here is my #Nakamichi 480, a 2 head tape deck with Dolby-B NR. Purchased new in 1979 by its previous owner. It’s in near-perfect shape. I love this machine.
