Oh well, it's good to see this site has progressed in that time.

Yeah, I guess it has been ten years since we set this up...

Felt like I should congratulate you for keeping this site going for the last 10 years. (I only just noticed this myself )

Hey Erik,
How about some mention of the Vintage Computer Fest-Midwest like you posted for the VCF-east in NJ?

Here's the post I made under EVENTS>>>

The Vintage Computer Fest-Midwest 7.0 is happening for 2012 near Chicago, US!

It will be the last weekend in September, the 29th
and 30th.
Mark your calendars and spread these links around!

Hi Erik. I'm a new member searching for help on my Osborne I power supply. Other members are helping me, and one pointed me to the SAMS schematics for the Osborne I that are posted here on the site. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. Can I make a (small) donation to the forum? Thanks. Tom (nutmegct)

can any body tell me why my c64 has a checkerboard start up screen and is there a way of fixing it
regards
Andy

Eric,

I sold my Osborne portable, and want to remove the post. I cannot figure out how to do this. I go to the edit button, but there is not delete button. Can you help me?

I'm not sure what you mean by "clean" the disks, but if you are worried about what's on them then you're probably best just keeping them or destroying them.

Dear Erik
Have you any suggestions for me?
I want to give away my Amstrad 8256 with manuals, disks, only I have 30+ disks that I would like to clean before I part with it. I replaced the drive belt only for the write protection pin to fall out, so I cannot clean the disks. I could try to do the repair myself, but then if I could borrow an Amstrad from who ever is going to have my 8256 to clean the disks with, that would be helpful.

I look forward to your suggestions

Thanks

Roger

stopped in to tell you that without you, a few more vintage computers would probibly buried in a landfill somewhere in /dev/null and we wouldn't have this great place to be together in.
