Re: Restarting Old Amiga's

Looks like my Commodore 2002 monitor needs work. It’s not powering on. However, a monitor that is about the same (says Amiga on the front), seems to more or less work. The A500 (KS1.2) and A600HD (KS2.0) both complain they need a boot disk. One slight problem, I have no idea where any of

Restarting Old Amiga's

I have the urge to get my Amiga’s back up and running. I’m still trying to find my main Amiga A3000, but have found my A500 and my A600. The problem is, I don’t remember the last time I powered these on. It’s been a long time since I’ve had time. In the case of the A3000, I think it’s been

Re: Living Computer Museum

That’s worrying. When the Historical Resource Center I was working with in my area shutdown a few years ago, Ian came down and collected a U-Haul worth of stuff, including part of my personal collection. What I really regret sending up there is a large box of Honeywell DPS-8 documentation

That switch is obviously a design flaw! I sort of picked up on it as a design flaw when I got mine. :-) Zane > On Apr 26, 2020, at 1:53 PM, Chris Zach wrote: > > No I put together an RX02 with an RX01 controller on my bigger computer to > format a special disk. It can only use RX01

Re: Fixed my pdt11/150

Somehow I like the term “Boat Anchor” to describe the PDT-11/150. I’ve had one for well over 20 years. At a bare minimum, it needs the on/off switched replaced, as it’s broken off. Is that the disk that came with yours? I like how it’s all games. :-) I can’t remember, are these disks

Printer Transparencies?

Here is a strange question. Does anyone happen to know how long unused Laser Printer and Ink Jet transparencies last? Do they go bad, or break down? I have a stack of them, still in the boxes, a lot are unopened. I scavenged them about 10 years ago, when people were getting rid of them.
