Howdy friends,
In need of 8 pcs. MT4067-15 or equiv. to fill out the RAM board in a Tandy
1000 EX. These are 64k x 4bit I believe.
Just checking to see if a group member might have some stashed away?

I'm interested in finding a 386 or slow 486 machine or moboj ust for
playing DOS games. Does anyone have such a thing sitting around, looking
for a home?
Thanks in advance.
Folks,
Yay, I was wrong! The IC seems to be OK, the issue was a stuck-on kb
switch. A quirk of the Apple design causes the last-pressed key to repeat
continuously if any key is being held 'on'.
That leaves me needing two kb switches and possibly one 'tilde' key. This
is the beige IIe kb with smal
Folks,
A neglected Apple IIe showed up in my life, and now I find myself needing a

- AY-5-3600 keyboard encoder IC
- Several key studs, maybe a couple of keys
Anyone have a donor machine?

Fyi, there are a couple on eBay for around $30 ea. shipped.
They only do AC & DC volts plus ohms, but that's better than nothing after
the EMP.

If you're that intent on firey destruction, it would be much simpler &
safer to use an oxyacetylene cutting torch, or a plasma cutter.

Folks,
Trying my luck again. Looking for an external floppy drive for a Tandy 1000
EX XT clone.. They can be recognised by their white case and 30-pin female
card edge connector cable.
Please let me know if you have or know of one. Been looking for many years.
Thanks, Bill

Would this be a good job for the Viking Electronics DLE-300?
It emulates a CO with a pair of POTS lines, so you can call from port to
port on it. It emulates all of the correct tones and CPC, both modems think
they are on POTS lines. Makes it very easy to connect a pair of modems
back-to-back, and
All chips should have windows.

"A new, more current system would cost between $1.5 and 2 million. "
Something tells me there's more than a Commodore Amiga involved, here. This
figure must include the radio hardware and controllers at each of the
schools. The article goes on to say that a student at one of the high
schools wrote
If you're into this sort of thing (I know I am) check out RetroPie -

You can have all that, and much, much more for the cost of a RaspberryPi
zero ($5-10) and a few basic accessories.

Hey Kevin.
This is all good advice, but there is also another way to go - and it's a
bit more future-proof. For about the same cost as the Zoom floppy, you can
get a device called an SD2IEC or similar. It's very simple - it connects to
the IEC (disk drive) port on the C-64 and accepts a micro or m

Not sure how relevant this is, but a friend of mine has been solely
developing the Sandwich Printer (tm), at least since his days at the Miles
Davis Anomalous Jazz Propulsion Laboratory ,in the late 1970s.

I do have at least one Apple IIc monitor around here, the small
green-screen as originally sold with the machine. Not sure where you're
located, but if it's practical, I'd certainly consider taking a trade for
it.
As for generic older crt, I am very fond of my BMC green screen, ca. 1982

Arrgh! /Jerry rig/, not Jury rig! Jury rigging is something entirely
different..
The former comes from WWII era slang, when German soldiers were called
'Jerries' (among other things); see Jerrycan for instance. As has often
been the case, as the war drew to a close and the supply chains broke down

Chuck is right, but pits can also be filled.. JB Weld is one suggestion. It

I've been inside of one, but I just can't recall the arrangement for the
