Would I be better off getting a 386/486 DOS PC over any of the Tandy 1000 seires PCs for 1980s DOS games? I am mostly interested in playing 1980s DOS games, but I am not sure if I should go with a bit newer hardware by getting an early 90s pc?
This Apple IIc setup is listed for $400 on FB marketplace, and the seller states everything was functional when last used. Is it worth it for the price? I do not own any 8-bit computers yet, but I'm wondering if this is a good starter or if I should look for something else? (e.g., Tandy 1000, etc.)
I found a working Tandy 1000 sx on FB marketplace recently. It comes with a Tandy CM-11 Monitor, an original keyboard, and a Gotek Floppy Emulator. Seller had mentioned he measured the high voltage capacitors in the power supply and CRT but put them back as they were still in spec. The seller is asking $500 or best offer. Is this a good setup for the price?
I was wondering if any of these computers are a good choice for a first vintage/retro computer? The seller is asking $600 for everything on the table but is willing to separate items for a reasonable offer. The seller has also stated that all of it is in working order.
I have wanted to get a Commadore computer for a while now, but I am stumped on if I should get the original 64/64C or one of the new ultimate versions? I am also hesitant because the price of the ultimate versions in CAD is quite expensive, and looking on EBay, the originals dont seem to be much cheaper than the ultimate versions. If I were to spend the money, which would be more worthwhile?
