I was lucky enough to be given this Osborne 1 today, in very good physical shape. When I turn it on, the screen flickers (extremely low refresh rate you could say) and I can't read the disk it came with. (Not a system disk but the drive doesn't even attempt to read). When I unplug the keyboard, the screen stops flickering. I was told that, speculatively, it might be a power supply issue, and that makes sense since they seem to be a common issue. Any ideas?
This is my first really old computer in the sense of using an operating system and disks completely unlike anything I was used to growing up (in the 90s) and though I have a good knowledge of PC history, I don't know too much about technical aspects of computers this age. XD
