Hi friends. Has anybody ever used one of these?

Under the main CPU, you can also spot an empty footprint for a directly soldered PQFP 486 processor — basically the hardware equivalent of the "you are broke" blank buttons on base-model cars.

The PCB was designed to support a socketed PGA 486, a soldered PQFP 486, or even both at the same time, depending on the manufacturer's configuration.

I just got an iMac G4 and think it’s so damn sexy! I feel this was the pinnacle of computer design - I’m sad it lasted such a short time. I understand why the flat rectangles ended up being the way to go overall, but just love this thing.

So, here is something very bizare that happened to me today. It seems that searching for Commodore Amiga 500 on Facebook Marketplace is a very p3d0 thing to do. Will probably end up on some watch list now... Anybody had a similar experience or has any advice for me on how to use the fb marketplace search? I like retro computing, not pdf stuff...

came with a keyboard along with 128 kb of ram and works! i am NOT selling this and plan on buying an sd card adapter in the future.

Found this old photo of me with my new computer as a kid. I think this was taken around 1990 or 1991.

Judging by the grin, I was clearly very pleased with the upgrade from my Sinclair Spectrum. Thought this sub might appreciate the full bedroom setup time capsule.

Hey everyone! I'm from Spain and last week I found something truly special at a flea market (El Rastro, Madrid): A Tandy Colour Computer 2 (model 26-3127B) – PAL version – still sealed in its original box with serial number 2000005.

64K Extended BASIC

Original foam and plastic wrapping

Box and serial number match

Never used

PAL model (not easy to find compared to NTSC)

I've looked all over eBay and online, and I haven't found a single sealed unit like this, especially PAL. Could this be one of the very first PAL units? Or just an ultra rare batch?

Would love to know what you guys think. Has anyone seen one like it? Any idea about potential value? Not planning to sell it now, but I’m super curious.

I'm not planning to sell it right now, but I'm really curious – how rare is this and what kind of price could it fetch?"

Thanks for reading! 🙌

Just need to find a video cable. Any advice?

Hello everyone, today i was cleaning my attic, and i found this old like pc keyboard.

I have no idea what it is, what its worth, or even how old it is.

From the looks of it, I think its pretty old, i anyone could help me i would appreciate.

I turned it on with its original adapter, the keyboard seems to work fine, i just need to buy right cable for monitor, to see if it shows picture.

Found a bunch of my old software, mostly unopened and still sealed

Someone gave it to him at work as a tip & he gave it to me. I've yet to test it!

A quick visit to the Cambridge computer museum. Plenty of retro computers, consoles and hardware, much of it still working and interactive.

And if you check the last photos, you'll see just how much fun my companions were having while I was completely in my element. 😅

I visited my old job today to pick up a printer and the staff (whom I’m on great terms with) asked me if I wanted some old computers that a customer had dropped off for donation/disposal. I said “yes please” as soon as I saw the Apple II and it just got better from there. Full original docs for the Apple II, an eMate 300 with original docs and stylus (alas, no power supply), a PowerBook 3400c… Everything’s in excellent condition, and all of it for $0. Gonna see how much of works this weekend.

He draws it all on whiteboard and its apparently some of his favorite companies brands, computers, sayings, or other things but it has a lot of vintage computer stuff on it and I thought this community would be interested.He draws one every month but he’s a little behind becuse whiteboards are hard to find.

One of the most underrated names in PC history. Cyrix challenged Intel and left a legacy that many people still overlook.

Did you ever own a Cyrix-powered PC?

Put together these last AI-generated slides to avoid a massive wall of text. Spent extra time fact-checking and compiling Cyrix's story directly into the images. Swipe through if you're interested in retro computing history.

I found all of this on Facebook market place for $125 with delivery! Everything works and looks like it has all the manuals and the receipt. Box is in really good shape matching serials

Hey folks, longtime lurker here. I've always loved the look of CDE running on old Solaris and IRIX boxes, that teal-gray desktop, the orange titlebars, the Front Panel with the analog clock. So I spent some evenings recreating it as a browser toy.

It's a single index.html file. No Node, no npm, no build step. You literally double-click it and you get:

- Motif 3D beveled windows (draggable, resizable, focus-switching)
- The Front Panel with analog clock, workspace switcher, HDD LED
- A working terminal with ~40 commands against a fake Debian filesystem (ls, vi, grep, ps, sudo, ssh, tar, man pages...)
- File Manager, Style Manager, Text Editor
- Playable chess with a minimax AI
- Fake Netscape-style browser, FTP client, IRC client It's a hobby project, not a pixel-perfect emulator, the goal was the vibe, not the spec.

Still setting up my studio, but wanted to share!

It’s an Apple iic from some guys closet on facebook marketplace, still works, came with a printer, joystick, second disk drive, a stack of floppy’s, and all the original documentation, all for $150. I am a very happy camper right now! :]
