Date
Acquired
Name Processor RAM ROM/Storage OS Notes
October 2021 IBM ThinkPad 380ED Intel Pentium I @ 700Mhz 80MB (dunno RAM type but much better than orig. 16MB) 1GB IDE HDD Windows 98 SE (orig. Win95) First ever vintage PC!
Got at VCF East 2021 by a friend.
July 2017 Macintosh [128k] M68000 @ 8Mhz 128KB (currently 512KB) 400K 3.5" floppy (not currently working) System 0.85 (or lower)-System 3.2
Thanks to BMOW's Floppy Emu, great tool
Given to me by my generous grandmother in Canada
She worked for Apple in the mid 80's as a sales manager,
and the CEO of the company (Jobs) gave her (and presumably all employees) a discount on a Macintosh
This machine is in decent condition, was upgraded by me to a 512K motherboard
since the OG 128K mobo has RAM problems. That 128K board, though, has a 1983 copyright date,
effectively making it extremely rare :D
Came with carrying case floppies and a bunch of booklets/manuals
September 2020 Macintosh SE M68000 @ 8MHz 4MB (max, cool) 800K 3.5" floppy, 80MB(?) Conner HDD System 7.1 Got from a Craigslist haul in Sep 2020 for a steal (along with much more stuffs)
System runs just fine and no complaints here
September 2020 Macintosh LC III M68030 @ 25MHz 20MB (40MB because virtual memory) 1.4M floppy, 70GB HD (not entirely, only just a few 2GB partitions because limitations) System 7.5.5 Got from a Craigslist haul in Sep 2020 for a steal (along with much more stuffs)
recapped by techknight, system runs very well now. added ethernet card so it can do even more stuff and things
October 2019 Commodore Plus/4 6502(?) ? N/A Commodore BASIC and included ROM programs Acquired at an auction that prev. owners of my family's current house.
Came with only power brick- and ever since I got it I haven't done much at all
because I dont have much to test it. Bummed about that XD
