I have a vague recollection of someone telling me there was a trick to
demagnetizing high density disks. Perhaps wave a magnet in various ways, even
moving the magnet to and from the disk's surface. Then again maybe it's just a
chatgpt style hallucination. Wouldn't hurt to try though.
no matter what you did. I found QB 3 at a
computer show in 1990 and it wasn't much at all, maybe 25$.

BASICs available at bootup were nice, but really were only useful with 8 bit

had a floppy it only made sense to buy a cheap compiler (Quick Basic, Turbo

If you're willing to ship, I'll offer 30$ total. But it has to be IBM.

The board itself, including the traces, has to be in good shape. Don' t care
about it's functionality, or even if chips are missing. An actual IBM product,
regardless of revision. Might consider an entire 5150 box. NJ.

I learned how to hack games on some Origin title. A.D. 2042 or what have you.

Regardless if you want to alleviate all the fuss and mess of running 16 bit
