I found it fun to buy computers from when the industry was battling with innovations and different form factors.  A lot of real innovative engineers out there. On ‎Tuesday‎, ‎February‎ ‎13‎, ‎2018‎ ‎09‎:‎34‎:‎16‎ ‎PM‎ ‎EST, Kevin Becker wrote: “Retro”

Re: [M100] Is this for real?

“Retro” computing stuff seems to be going up in price lately. Even things that didn’t seem very retro to me. Look at the prices for old 486/pentium machines. There are some wild ideas about the value of a generic beige x86 tower. On Feb 13, 2018, at 9:22 PM, Chris Fezzler

Re: [M100] Is this for real?

Yeah, there was a NIB TPDD2 few weeks back for $60 BIN. It got snached from me literally as I was clicking to buy it... These two crazy auctions though... Now the next 5 T102s listed will be $499 BIT, you just watch... On Tue, Feb 13, 2018 at 8:10 PM, Kevin Becker wrote:

I guess the thing that makes it relatively uninteresting for me is that you'll have to be tethered to a display of some kind, which negates the most attractive aspect of the ModelT, its portability; you might as well just run VT on a laptop. m - Original Message - From: John R.

You did recieve a very thorough answer. That it won't work, and why not, and what it would take to make it work. All that will happen is BASIC will jump to a particular address, which jumps to the FC error. -- bkw On Feb 13, 2018 8:53 AM, "VANDEN BOSSCHE JAN"

Re: [M100] List of wanna haves

I have asked the Raspberry Pi community to help me with the construction of a DVI-like video-output device. I made the assumption that the DVI was only a terminal. Both from the response here, as there, I understand now that this combination is far more 'intimate' than I presumed.

Re: [M100] quick electronics question about AC adaptor port on M100

Yes the center pin is negative. Same is true for most of the related accessories like the tape drives ctr-41, ctr-80, ccr-81, ccr-82, ccr-83, the tpdd & tpdd2 disk drives, trp-100 printer, etc. They all take 6vdc, center negative, same 5.5x2.1mm barrel plug. -- bkw On Feb 12, 2018 3:02 PM,
