Why doesn't my local store carry 16 pin ZIF sockets? Damnit. Arduino-based 4116 RAM tester in testing.

Inspired by @NanoRaptor - I present the DB-14. It was used for CAD applications, however it was also known to suffer data loss.

Opened Steam and read "Autism Sale" and got really excited for a moment until my brain caught up....

Picked up a new keyboard kit for my 400. Goodbye crap membrane that makes a person consider self-defenstration!

The Panasonic Business Partner 1650 is really a Tandy 1000 SL/2, but rebadged for Panasonic! Paired with a Tandy CM11 CGA monitor, and running IRC via a Linux Terminal server!

The Tandy 1200 - XT-class desktop made by Tandon for Tandy, paired with an EGA monitor, and an IBM Model F keyboard. Running Windows 3.0.

The Tandy TRS-80 Model 2000. An MS-DOS (But not IBM) Compatible that runs on a 80186 CPU! It's an odd duck that proved that Tandy Engineers really liked their drugs :D

Picture of my VCF East Prep back in April. Line of Tandy machines :) Shown is my TRS-80 Model 4, 1000 RL, 1000 RLX, and 2500SX/25 -80

This is the "True Blue" K-mart computer. Celeron 633, 256 MB Ram (originally 128 according to my research)
Has a 2nd hard drive added (original is 8gb, add-on was 20GB).

The masochist who owned this one had it running Windows XP SP3.

The motherboard was made by MSI for LG - who packaged the machine. It's actually quite well built, and has help up very well.

Being that I'm new to Mastodon, figured I'd post a few of my favorites from the past year or three. This is the . A computer I custom built from a PC/104 Celeron 1000 board. It has a ESS PC/104 sound card, and can double as a 5/12v PSU.

It was built from a Hammond chassis that I modified to fit. Aesthetics were "mid 70's minicomputer". Runs Windows 98, and does it well.
