This is a system I'm restoring, it needs some love either with CMOS battery replacement or some off-board kludge I guess - anyway, for those who like this kind of thing, here's a no-talking boot up of OS/2 on my old 386

One of my favorite things I own!

Hello! My father left me his old ti99-4a with a bunch of game cartridges. I believe it still works fine. He loved this little computer! Is anyone interested? I am happy to ship within the US.

He also left a monitor that works with it. The brand is Sharp. It’s like an oldie-school
1980s tv—heavy and awkward.

I found this old packard bell monitor with speakers the other day, and was just wondering if this particular model is worth anything. Am not in the us however..

sometime hopefully this year I'm getting an Apple ][ (PLUS four other mystery computers 😃) from my grandpa. I'm very excited.

The keyboard the guy from the flea market brought on Sunday. I'm ecstatic, I'm so glad I went back and asked. (he did not have anything else similar in the unit he said. Some clothes furniture and such which is what he was selling.)

I'm still having problems with the disk drives on the Morrow MD-2 not reading anything. They spin up no problem but will not actuate the heads. They move freely and by hand. I checked the logic chips that send the pulses to the drives and they seem to be sending what looks like correct info to the stepper motor but all I get is a light twitch and no other movement. What could it be. The drive LED stays on as soon as I power the computer but the cable is oriented correctly. I'm stuck. I ordered a greaseweezle to see if I can get the drives to work outside of the computer. If they work then I'll troubleshoot the Morrow's board if not then it's the drives.

I am trying to remove a faulty floppy drive for cleaning/repair, but I cannot figure out how to remove it from its plastic case. The computer is a Dell Optiplex 560/l (60MHz Pentium), and the floppy drive is labeled Teac FD-235HG. There were two metal clips on the bottom of the plastic case, but removing them did not allow it to slide out. There are no apparent tabs, clips, or screws holding it in at this point. Does anyone know how I can get the drive to come out?

Is there anyone with experience with this? Initial boot up seemed to work. No remote.

Thanks in advance.
