#marchintosh shenanigans.
Originally for a Plus, I soldered on a right-angle eurocard/euro din connector for the PDS slot.
Got a semasimac at first, found out I needed to disconnect the A29 pin (or remove the GAL at U7.) Now it works!

3 mystery PCs. No specs. No tests.
We open them up and hit power for the first time.
Pentium → Pentium III era… probably.
Goal: bring at least ONE back to life.

30 years ago today, AMD released what it hoped would be a Pentium killer. While impressive on paper, the K5's real world performance proved disappointing. AMD's followup was the result of an acquisition. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing dfarq.homeip.net/amd-k5-cpu-n...

Wow That’s Fascinating The Osborne 1 Was ‘Portable’ at 24 Pounds The Osborne 1 had a 5-inch screen, two floppy drives, and a full-sized keyboard. You could carry it—if you skipped arm day. vintage.computer
The Osborne 1 was called “portable” in 1981… at 24 pounds. With a 5-inch screen and dual floppy drives, it set the standard for early mobile computing, even if it doubled as a workout. #Osbourne1 #LuggablePC #VintageComputing #Throwback #VintageComputer
Free tip to retro computer video content creators or anyone this may apply to: PRACTICE saying floppy DISKS! Or even just the word DISKS/DISCS. Trust me.

TECH SPEC TUESDAY Cray-1 About this machine: First installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1976, the Cray 1 was a supercomputer that was designed and manufactured by Cray Research, led by Seymour Cray. It was the first supercomputer to implement a vector processor design which allowed it to perform a single operation on a large dataset. Priced from $5 million to $8 million each, Cray sold over 80 of the machines, solidifying both Seymour Cray’s and his company’s reputation for excellence and leading the supercomputing industry.

The Cray-1 redefined supercomputing in 1976 with its vector processing architecture and iconic design. Built by Seymour Cray, it was the fastest machine of its time, and a blueprint for modern high-performance computing. #TechSpecTuesday #VintageComputing #VintageComputer

11/11 Overall I’m pretty happy with the outcome. I’ll have to address the boot issues at some point and maybe try to figure out how to back up the disk, but for now I might move on to the next system. This one is a keeper.
