Don't sloppy that floppy

It definitely took a while, the version I have was 22 floppies

Testing out and getting my PS/2 Model 95, with a Pentium 66!

Everything seems to be working well, and it has 64 MB of memory. I installed Windows 95 on it too.

Love this. Gonna install it!

Screenshot of Discord Messenger running on Windows 98 SE.

My Discord client, Discord Messenger, now runs on Windows 98! (And also, 95, but you need extra stuff. Win98SE runs it right out of the box.)

I’ve got a Quadra 700 too. Mine has a Daystar 100 MHz PPC upgrade in it, it’s very nice.

Custom luggable PC I built, with a Pentium III in a BSI chassis.

I’m guessing it was some kind of tiny server. The OS’s were installed when I got it

I was in Milton Keynes for a month this year. I kinda had fun, was nice to be somewhere not touristy

Yes they are, 10mb each!

How tall can you make a 5150?

I’d be more willing to bet that someone had an aftermarket keyboard they liked more that plugged into that port. I had an Atari 800 like that once, also with a DB-25 mounted to the case

A retro computing manual featuring a white, toony anthro rabbit with his hand on an old mainframe console. The text reads: "Introduction to COBOL (Common Bunny-Oriented Language)."

Introduction to COBOL!

My weird SE/30. I got it like this, all mods were done by the original owner.

Low persistence green CRT
Daystar 68030 50 MHz upgrade
128mb RAM
Ethernet card
No FDD, two HDDs
Running A/UX and NetBSD

I got mine working recently!

All the caps in the PSU bulged or leaked. The motherboard was fine, at least for now. I found it infuriating to solder to, so I didn’t replace any

Here’s my Shuttle 2 I just finished fixing. PSU had bad capacitors. It’s a C2D

Here’s mine.

Know someone with diabetes?

Check out the first blood glucose meter from 1970! It cost $650!

As a Type 1, and someone into retro tech, this is such a cool item to own.

Just finished fixing up this NeXT Computer with the NeXT Dimension color video card.

The computer cost $6,500, and when the video card launched, it cost $3,995, and the monitor was at least $2,995. Plus additional RAM, etc.

It was nice to see him at the museum, they got their SOL working just in time for him to see it when he came.
