Just what it says in the title: I've acquired a Tandy 1000TX, and need a keyboard for it. Anybody have a spare? |

I recently rescued an AT Rambank II memory expander card from the local recycling center. It's filled to capacity with 2MB of RAM, and I see from [url=http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/memory-cards/DTK-COMP ... |

I've come into possession of a little half-length ISA video card. At first I thought it was a plain old MDA clone, since it drives the monochrome monitor I got it with, but after looking on the board, ... |

So I've found a fellow not too far from where I live who's got a couple different machines that would suit my retro-PC needs. One's a Packard-Bell, the other's a VTech Laser 286. Both are AT clones. T ... |

Thanks for the advice. I'm up in Duluth, myself, though I spend my weekends about an hour south of there. |

So I've got a decent little 286 system lined up, and just for kicks I thought it would be fun to get a NIC for it and hook it up to the Internet. There seems to be a fair bit of small-scale DOS-based ... |

Hmm, nice. Could you make a note of the exact amount of memory when you test it? 512KB's not bad, but having the full 640 would be nice. |

Have you tried digging around at the local recycler? Pre 486 systems are getting hard to find these days, especially for $10!
Put a wanted in the local craigslist and see what you come up with (or ... |

I'm looking to get ahold of an old PC to play with. Here's what I'm looking for:
Pre-386 processor. Ideally an 8-12MHz 286, but I'm open to older options.

I have a PCjr color monitor I'm not using. I've tested it with a PCjr and it works fine; the video output is quite crisp. I'm asking $10 + S/H for it. Takers? |
