Restore an IBM PS/ValuePoint P60/D. Update: en route. Update: received: in great shape: needs DS12887 replacement. Update: DS12887 shipped from CN....

Just a parenthetical note. Peter sent the motherboard to me asking for a socket to be installed for the DS1287. This is a motherboard with a...

Bought a 9CM053 for the P 3238. 14” CGA/EGA CRT. Hopefully it will arrive in one piece. :)

The cable came from Visual, but remember I was doing this work for them, so it was in their interest to provide it. No, I haven't kept any of it;...

Update: machine should be arriving tomorrow after all. Wait and see.

You're welcome. I'd check the chicago craigslist regularly as stuff like this pops up all the time and I wouldn't mind helping you get what you...

If you can't complete them, have you considered the possibility that you *are* a bot?

Guess I hit this post too late, Id love to get cork replacements for the bottom of my model F and 5160

I really like the V5.1 cards because they take the SDCards making insertion of media through a faceplate much easier and they have a form factor that...

Chuck, I think I remember you bringing that up before. So you were working on the software for the Card exenstion cable ( I am guessing ISA ). Was...

I put some some more internal card pics as I take it apar and photograph the MCM/70. Being commercial, there is very little I can remove without...

CAPTCHA iNotaRobot .....:harp:

Brown stains don't necessarily indicate smoke discoloration. I have a fairly discolored Lisa, was that way when I got it. I carelessly stored it, and...

Hi Samir, Thanks anyway, have a nice week. Bobby

The IIe card can boot from a ProDOS partition on the hard drive. It can also use the computers superdrive.

So what causes the blooming?

No, they each have one twist but different wires are twisted. If you only have one HD you can just use a straight (untwisted) cable.

Thanks for the replies! I'll have to modify one of my VGA cables to fit the connector, if I don't already have one with the missing pin. Once I've...

Your right. I've just double checked the diagram and the hard disk cable has got a double twist. Floppy cables have only one twist is that so?

Good to know about the tarnish. :thumbsup: Even if drives are dead, you can box them up and sell them as a lot for parts--it's amazing how much...

I have that case! It is quite a nice one at that. Too bad the rambus based motherboard in there died when the northbridge fan died. :(

What are the odds what came off were nicotine stains?

One of the best ways to give these systems new life is to install Windows 98se on them with all the proper drivers. It will take some time and work,...

People still use Google search? I do once in a while. But DuckDuckGo has been my first choice since it started (and Cuil gave up).

I hate, hate, hate these. They're maddening! Google couldn't be doing a better job of pushing me into the arms of DuckDuckGo if they tried. It's...

Just to be sure... you can't use a floppy twisted cable for a hard drive unless you're not using the end section with the twist. The straight...

I bought a 520stfm parts machine recently. I put it out in the yard for a couple weeks, and there was rain. There's a marked difference between the...

If those are FBDIMMs, I might have an interest in them as they also work in servers from the same era.
