Have been able to boot this in emulation?

Here's the money shot. Still in the process of taking it apart.

So then bleach should be a better idea, no? Or isn't that what peroxide does is essentially "bleach" the plastic? Everything in some sense is a...

Easy to me means going to the hardware/hobby store and buying small pieces or quantities. A 12" x 18" x .032" sheet of brass can be had for about 12$...

8 bit guy has a video where he tries a number of methods, except the traditional concoction. It seems 40 volume liquid in water with only heat was...

I've got one -- haven't really found much use for it though. Got a really nice, complete set with expansion, games, etc.

Dunno about the cover, but the DAK 1988 Winter catalog where they were flogging these as basically closeout (see PDF page 70), shows the LCD display...

An easier alternative is the 40 volume creme developer. RB got some bad press a couple of years ago from the conservator crowd. It seems that in...

You haven't been running in the right circles. Here's an example. Note that 8Ds made during the 50s in the Elkhart, IN factory can fetch higher...

Thanks for the reply, Bob! The serial number on the motherboard sticker does indeed match the bottom sticker, as do the numbers on both of the...

I have a 120 MB Western Digital drive if that's of interest.

Awesome! Enjoy!

Since you have a basically working machine, you can use PEEK and POKE to locate bad RAMs you can then use the table in the referenced trouble...

The yellowing is the plastic, it is a chemical reaction. All retrobright does is oxidize the surface layer of the plastic so it is not as yellow for...

That particular TL1 ended up in a bidding war because it had a very rare expansion card in it -- an Apple II on an ISA card (Trackstar). Tandys...

Interesting that the three labels had three different addresses, oldest being the Colonial Highway building (I started there), Route 38 being the...

In my sheltered life, I'd never heard of a Printer 80 - Sounds good though.

I always likened them to the Oric Atmos in that they looked completely different to the machine that preceded them but were in fact pretty much the...

Happy to share what I know. Appendix B is expanded to include some information on the ASH ASHC instructions. There were some differences in the...

It certainly makes MYZ80 choke with DRI's MAC assembler. I'll keep trying others though.

"Here" being where, exactly? In the US, it's easy. Another drift...one of the wealthy tuba collectors wanted to duplicate the design of the...

After an item gets bids, the seller can no longer change the description -- they can only add to it. This is supposed to discourage bait-and-switch...

That's solid ns/GS (i.e not plated)? I don't believe I've ever seen an instrument made of anything but brass. Pretty psyk.

I could be wrong. There are.so many cuprous alloys to make any distinction between ns or GS largely meaningless. They're ambiguous terms anyway. I...

I've always used the two "GS" and "NS" interchangeably, and so does WikiP. Basically, nickel, copper and zinc. I once had a fellow with a nice...
