Well, here are some links to my old hardware.. lol.. Whatcha think? eGo

This first one is 23 years old! lol..

Here's the 2nd one.. I don't feel like downloading the PDF to find out how old it is.. lol

http://vt100.net/televideo/910-om/

The 3rd is about 26 years old.. wOOt!

I've got some other thing a TMC-1 but it's only pulling up stuff about Space Shuttles and crazy stuffs.. Got about 4 of them.. Anywho, enjoy.. eGo

Well the speed of my wifes rig drives me nuts and its dual 550s so i would go crazy fussing with those plus the wife would kill me for keeping those things around, ah but i still remeber my super fast 8086

Hey, some of those aren't even listed in the Computer Museum - Maybe you should submit em so they can be recorded!

Do they buy them? lol.. I've got about 9 of the 1st one, 3 of the 2nd and 2 of the 3rd.. And some other misc. stuff I didn't feel like getting model #'s off of.. lol.. What does this museum do? Just keep a database of all the PCs out there, or does it actually collect them?

It just databases em. Doesnt buy em. But hang on to em there ole pal chal, I'll probably buy em from ya. Give me a good reason to go on a road trip too!

I'm tellin' ya.. I was gonna put them up for like $20+Shipping.. lol.. But as most can see these things are HEAVY! lol.. But I'll see what I can do about holding one or two of them.. eGo

Use em for folding! BWAHAHA! should only take you about 2.2 years to get through 1 WU @ 1Mhz, eh? Now go over to the software forum and help me out!

i think it would probably take more like 4 years with these new WU;s weve been getting

having one or 2 of them would be usefull.. they have serial out... that can do 9600 bps... so you could use them for home automation... or to run a model railroad... or... somthing that i cant think of at the moment.

Yah.. I guess it would be pretty easy to write a program for those old things.. I've actually found a different model of one of the ones I have on ebay going for $700!!! So I think I'm going to try and auction them off.. heh..

*mutters* Damn it, he checked ebay, there goes my chance to get em off him for dirt cheap and makle a nice tidy profit on ebay now.

Yah, the only one that's proven to be of any potential value is the IMSAI.. I also think the TMC-1 is valuable, but I haven't been able to find anything on it. I'm gonna have to take some closer looks at those units to find out more about them. I also have some of the old card punch readers, and some funky old priners as well.. Who knows, I may be sitting on a gold mine!! lol.. Srry Judge, but you're welcome to some of the stuff I have more than one of.. I'm not greedy.. lol..

I found some more cool stuff today.. I found a Commodore PET 2001, saw one on ebay for $100.. I gotta find out if it's the one with 8, 16, or 32k of Ram.. lol.. I also found some other older stuff that's been harder to find info on. I also found two old battery backups.. MinuteMan 500 was one of them. I'm gonna bring them home and test them out and see how they work with "unimportant" electronics.. Then once I do that, I'll hook it up to my older computer to see how long the battery will last.. heh.. It's nice to get all this free stuff!! eGo

Where in the hell are these things coming from anyway?

That's a good question. I'm wondering the same thing. LOL
