Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place to post, but I inherited this Spinwriter from the previous owners when I moved into our home. Looks in rough shape, and I don't have a power cord or any extra equipment. Anyone know if this is something other people would get value out of? Or should I trash it? Thank you!
The most information I can gather (I'm a complete noob.) is that it's from the brand Everex, has Intel's first ever 32 bit CPU slotted, and was manufactured in Singapore in 1993.
It also has a 2 port Ethernet card, what a friend called a "sound blaster" card, and a singular VGA port card.
The PSU has a power in and out with a 115V/230V binary switch, I assume for daisy chaining.
I personally watched the 8-bit guy as a kid so I was thinking about sending it to him, but I'm open to any suggestions.
I can reply with any pictures of any components upon request!
So, a few months ago, I found this acer travelmate 4060 from 2005 in the trash. I took it because it looked to be in good condition. This weekend, in the same trashcan, I found a charger for it. It works perfectly. So happy
Hello! We have a big collection of vintage tech and my dad recently spent a lot of time resurrecting one of his Lisas. Its OS was ahead of its time in many ways and it paved the way for MacOS so there are definitely similarities.
When opening a program, it “tears off” a copy like a notepad and that becomes your current project. You can have several windows open at once (unlike on early Macs), and when you’re done, Lisa “puts everything away” before shutting down.
Apologies for the length of this video, she’d been asleep in an attic for a long time! Also sorry for the CRT lines!
Got this cool ibm dasd film head paperweight FOR FREE at an antique mall parking lot sale! Pretty cool piece of history!
Guys, I found an ancient beast in my drawer. It's called Coby Kyros Model: MID7012
Saw this listed on vinted but wanna get some reviews on it beforehand. Cant even tell if it’s supposed to be a phone or camera but looks pretty cool.
Edit: found it! It’s the Samsung Pixon M8800. Thank you to those who were actually being helpful lol!
Got the stuff cheap and a few things are from my family. They all work.
I found my dad’s old Walkman, not sure how old but im guessing 90s. But Ive used a external battery to it and it comes up with a red light when it’s opened and closed and makes a whirr sound, but that’s right about it when I press any other button except the on button which has a green light and makes a sound before going back to the red light and the whirr. Does anyone know what the issue is?
Yesterday, I acquired this absolute beast of a 19" CRT monitor for absolutely free! I still love this thing even though it doesn't seem to work.
Is there any way to copy something from YouTube to a DVD-R?
Bought this old cassette and cd player at a goodwill for 7 bucks, and I thought it was a good deal, but I can’t find the power cord for it, and google is freaking useless. Would like help finding one. I have cords that fit into it, but none have a snug fit and jiggle around so they don’t work unless tilted at an angle.
I found this listing for a really cool looking Sony VAIO laptop on eBay for $199.99. I'm not sure if I should get it or not because I'm new to old tech but I'm so in love with the bright purple color + the idea of re-using an old computer instead of it being trashed + just the overall feeling of having a laptop for myself, so I'd like some advice based on my needs for a device like this :]] Here's the details of the laptop that stuck out to me:
-Intel core i3 10th gen
-RAM: 4 GB
-Most suitable for: Casual computing
-Hard Drive Capacity: 384 GB
-Windows 10 Pro
I mainly just want a laptop to use for typing documents, playing web games, maybe making the occasional slideshow or downloading music files for my mp3 player (fun personal stuff, won't really be using it for school.) Once again, I'm new to old tech so please be dead honest with me if its a bad idea to blow 200 dollars on a laptop like this instead of something new/a more "advanced" retro computer. Thx!!
I'm trying to play this PC game from 2002, "Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon."
I own the CD, but I can't get it to work on Windows 11.
I would like to be able to play it without the CD. It used to be on Steam, but it's been taken down.
I downloaded files from here: https://archive.org/details/TPRTS
The description says, "This game has copy-protection, but there is a no-cd within this ISO (however the ISO will still need to be mounted, and if you put it on to a disk, it will still need to be in the drive)"
I can't figure out what the "no-cd" is, or how exactly to mount the ISO. Does anyone know what I can do to play this game without the CD? If anyone has a link to another reliable website to download the files, that would be a welcome suggestion also.
Clue jr spyglass mysteries cdrom play set! Seems to be rare ish since I can’t find many listings
Hi, I'm looking to sell these old CPU's. My grandpa wanted to throw them away. He told me I could sell them. I don't use them and I want to sell them as a whole. Some specs can be a bit incorrect. What are they worth as a whole? Any tips what to do with them? Here is a list:
Finally got the battery out and gave it a test wouldn’t you know it works better than expected no tunnel effect at all left it for like 15 minutes
Has games and stuff from previous owner but this cool desktop pet that’s pikachu haha
My grandad gave me his old mixing desk and this was in the box with it. Im really not well versed on old tech so any pointers would be appreciated. If i can get the data off of the disk i would love to so if there is a way of putting it onto my pc that would be amazing.
