The keyboard is the same one it came with, it worked forever. I think I fucked it up by hotplugging it into a USB-RS232 adapter. (Well, hotplugging the USB side.) It just chirps when I power up now so I don't know if I fried the I/O or the CRT.

~20 years ago a 2600 article (yeah, I know) opened my mind about old tech. Some poor phreaker took a (then decade-old) C64, built a DTMF decoder circuit on a card that plugged straight into the I/O port, and wrote all the data display and logging in software. That level of self-reliance and ingenuity was in short supply in the 90s and seems moribund today.

There wasn't a lot of software to be had for it, by then the Mac was out and Apple only kept the ][ line around for internal competition between teams. A friend of mine got one for his birthday and then sold it when he saw what my Amiga 500 could do.
>>53528790
It's sad/funny, The boomers/Gen-Xers think most millennials must be technical geniuses spending their entire lives totally immersed in it. But the thing is if it's reliable and safe enough it seldom needs maintenance or tweaking then you never have a need to know how it works.
I was born in the early 80's and my family wasn't particularly wealthy, so I couldn't afford upgrades often and had to limp by on what I could scrounge up from 2nd hand gear from my granddad and uncle. Thus I learned how to squeeze Doom 2 playing out of a 386SX and got a hand-me-down Sound Blaster Pro working by reassigning IRQ ports on my mobos DIP switches.
I'm grateful I wasn't handed a shiny working modern PC on a silver platter, I probably would never have learned if I had reliable equipment or money was no object.

>>53528747
I suspect because more and more technology has been miniaturized and sped up to the point where it has to be specifically designed to be amenable to hardware tinkering. In the 80s when ISA slots and serial ports ruled the land, it was feasible for some bloke with a soldering iron and an assembler to do things like that.
by the early 2000s (read the story of how the original Xbox got cracked) we were already about at the realm of components too tiny for mortals to solder to, and that required expensive specialist hardware to poke into, just because the bus speeds had gone up from 5 MHz to 33/66/100 MHz.
Same with the software. MS-DOS 1.0 was about 4KB worth of assembly. at least command.com was. Granted they used some mind-bending tricks to make it that small, but it's the type of thing one person could and did write and understand. Compare to today. Any modern OS is written by teams of hundreds or thousands of people, nobody can understand all of it in-depth, even if you restrict yourself to the kernel.
And yes, I agree, kids these days are lazy shits that don't want to tinker with anything. Then again, can you blame them? Time was when a PC came with at least BASIC or some shit. Devices nowadays try very hard to be sealed-up no-user-serviceable-parts-inside things where you purchase and consume media, not where you create anything or modify the system. It was kind of inevitable, because they want the largest possible market, and to do that you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I think that's what I respect about the Raspberry Pi (et al) projects; they encourage you to get in and poke through the guts. If you fry it, you just lost $20 and not your main computer. Kids with tablets aren't computer savvy, they're just fucking consumers. Give a techy kid a C64 and a cassette drive and maybe he'll actually create something amazing.

No one here has any records? New or old, they are outdated, but nice.
>>53530030
I have all my old records but they're in storage because I have cds, mp3s and flacs now.
Also hipsters.
>>53530073
I like the collectability; who cares about what's in fashion?
>>53530012
>>53529998
Both. It was a new standard by Quasar called VX. But there was only model ever made for that type. The VT-1000, which is what I have.
Extrememly rare and valuable, it weights about 50lbs, and my dad has about 25 recorded programs from the late 70s and 80s
>>53530108
I'll grant that vinyl, like a lot of older technology, has great tactile ritual. Opening the side of the sleeve, pulling the record out, inspecting the groove, mounting it on the turntable and setting the needle, plus all the amp fiddling holds a lot of charm.
But it's a pain in the ass for actually listening to music. I don't want to have to get up every 22 minutes and fuck with something just to keep the music going. I don't want to have to replace needles or panic about scratching the disc. And sometimes I like to listen to music somewhere other than the one room in my house where the stereo is.
On a practical level alone I'd much rather spend two minutes downloading an album from a torrent than trying to find an obscure record in decent enough condition.

I have a Macintosh Classic that someone was getting rid of even though it works fine
>>53530529
I was going to pick up an old Macintosh Plus 1mb this week, but the sellers location was in the shadiest, most dangerous part of the city. was p cheap too but beat to shit.
Was probably too good to be true.
I have 2 old G3 systems sitting next to my printer. the iMac runs os 9, perfectly fine. Even has office 98 on it. The Powermac is fucked though, i bought it about a year ago and set it up as a NAS to warehouse some of my old files, has a nice and expensive pci-ide card so it can detect drives bigger than 128gb and maxed out its ram, but suddenly it stopped powering up, changed PSU and so on but it just refuses to power on or show any signs of life.
I'll see if i can get it running this summer, or atleast take the drives out.
>>53530624
Are Macs worth anything anymore? I have a purple one still laying around
>>53530624
also have this big turd.
needs a new cmos battery, and probably a harddrive as it doesn't seem to want to boot.
>>53530624
Have you tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM? You should replace the PRAM battery too, I've heard plenty of stories about boot failures once that dies
>>53530646
Not really, they're pretty useless, but they look nice, especially if you have the keyboard and mouse to match.
You can get OSX 10.4 running in them, and put a 120gb harddrive in them max, but it'll have limited capabilities.
Might be able to browse the web with camino and so on, but i doubt anything flash related would work.
I'll probably do that to mine, or just leave it in os 9 and use it to play old games.
>>53530667
What's that? you mean the Cmos battery?
I had replaced it once, but i think it died again.
No idea where the NVRAM reset is.
Here's an old picture of the same machine when i got it about 5 years ago.
>>53530756
I mean the PRAM battery. But yeah, it's basically a CMOS battery.

Computer-wise, lots of shit, but the oldest are probably my Z80 microcomputer boards that came with a bunch of juicy (once)confidential and pre-release documentation as part of a demo system for Zilog salesmen before the chip really took off.
Tech-wise in general, probably my bedroom TV from around 1957.
>>53530965
If it's from 1957 then I'm guessing you call it that because you've hollowed it out and put your bed inside the cabinet.
>>53530942
Who knows.
I'll put another power supply on it and get a new cmos battery this weekend, and make a thread about it.
>>53530987
Nope, it's still just as complete as it was in the old christmas movies on 8mm film I grabbed with it. Doesn't turn on at the moment though, probably from a loose connection somewhere.
When I fix it I'm going to stick a digital converter box on it and just have PBS or local news going in the background.

>>53535154
i would too, but only because my account is empty
my room
I've got a functional Vectrex somewhere.
There are also rumours of a commodore64, probably near the vec.
>>53535201
dig that shit out, it has a built in game called minestorm
>>53535162
Yeah I've only got a couple hundred in the bank but in all reality I'd drop a few grand on the thing
>>53528790
yes, you're a special snowflake

Its an old Fuji bridge camera, I'm replacing it with a Sony compact with an alpha mount lens.
>>53534975
Yeah, I know exactly what they can still do today.
>>53528933
i recognize that faggotry.
"derp, i have a thinkpad and i use an 80s 'puter because i'm either hip or autistic."
Pic related,among other things. Thou with new batteryit serves it's purpose of awesome portable computer.
What else...t60 because 4:3 screen, gameboy color, pentium II desktop, EEE 900, TOSHIBA libretto. Some other things that I really can't remember now.

And on non computer side, 37 years old benz.
Vacuum lines, vacuum lines everywhere.

Oldest I've got currently is a 97 powerbook
Working on getting an Apple II or a vt100/220

Doesn't seem to have hurt the 6300. I've been running some comparisons between them (Photoshop; Excel; a few other apps) and the 6300 is definitely faster than the 6100/66 (which has its 256K L2 cache card). Typically by 30-50%.
I'm only going by CPU tests. It wouldn't be fair to test disk I/O at this point. The 6100 has a period 350MB drive while the 6300 has a much newer 40GB drive with faster seek times and a much larger cache.
>>53535035
>But there is a lot of translation logic between PPC and m68k buses.
I have Apple's dev note for the 6300 (actually the 5200/6200, but the 6300 is an evolution of those boards). There's just one custom bridge ASIC with a PPC bus on one side and a 68040 bus on the other. It sounds rather cool actually. It allows the processor to work with the L2 cache and ROM, both on the PPC side, while the '040 bus is busy with other tasks.
>>53535450
That's a weird looking Workbench you got.
I don't know jack about stuff later than WB 3.0 though. A stock A1200 with the 120 meg HDD was my last Amiga.
Never even had a modem hooked up to it though. Well I didn't even have a phone line those days (used payphones for everything).
>>53532007
To be quite honest family, but that Barns and Noble's edition of Dracula ain't that old...
>>53535474
I guarantee your Apple shitbox will not still be functioning in 30 years.
>>53536857
I've got "Apple shitboxes" over 25 years old already, what's another 5 years?
>>53528933
ibm pc /xt?
had one couple months ago but went abroard and sold it for 150 euros (~400usd)
kinda regret it after seein this pic
>>53528599
why is there a key in there? WHY THE FUCK IS A KEY IN THERE????? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!
>>53528924
No. We are fully aware of what morons millenials truly are.
I've got an old ass camcorder, back when they advertised color viewfinders. Works perfectly well. Battery has just gone to shit, so I need to plug it in to use it. Anybody got mini-tapes? onedrive is being a bitch. give me a sec. i'll have photos
>>53537418
Computers back then were primarily work machines, and some would require a way to lock out unauthorized users at the hardware level.

>>53537656
It's okay, my grandma bought christmas presents at Radio Shack too.
>>53537789
rs was the shit back then though.
Used to get all kinds of shit from there
>nostalgia'd
>>53537804
I still have some late 80s-early 90s RS catalogs.
>all dat beige
No pictures since I'm lazy:
-1954 GE Transistor Radio Alarm Clock. One of the first models ever built. The radio's useless at this point but the alarm on it will wake up everyone in the neighborhood
-Some 70s/80s Compaq laptop that weighs enough to kill a small child. I'd have to dig it out from wherever to find specifics but I know it had Windows 3.1 on it.
-80's Technics record player. Still works like a charm
-Various powerstrips and hubs from the 80s/90s
- handbound student-annotated copy of The Divine Comedy from ~1860s
>>53537901
>70s/80s Compaq laptop
>Windows 3.1
>>53538255
Sorry, must have been early 90s. I just remembered it weighed like 15lbs and guessed the age from there
>>53538554
For reference, this is what a laptop looked like in the late 80s.
>>53538627
... and the early 80s.

>>53529422
this is p cool actually
>>53528534
have the same router, why do you have so many?
>>53539075
I pick up WRT54G routers for $1-3 at thrift stores when I see them, flash in dd-wrt or tomato, and resell them or use them as repeaters. I've got 10 of them now, plus a handful of more modern routers with gigabit ethernet or 802.11n that I bought cheap.
Sometimes I put up disconnected WAPs with default SSIDs to confound would-be signal intruders.
>>53535177
Anon is that a canon laptop with the printer on the left ?
I have one too but it's lacking the ram sticks and i can't find them anywhere.

Wat?
Electric typewriter. I use it occasionally when I send letters
>>53528220
I have an componant-boner now thanks....
>>53539692
It's a Pong game, so it means English as in "put some English on that ball", not "Do you speak English?"
>>53529422
Dirty phreak
>>53535177
What is that on top of the Mac Classic?
Some kind of terminal?
>>53532011
motherboard from the computer
Manual typewriter from 1953
>>53540400
Good to see you've kept the original Am386, wouldn't want to void that warranty.
>>53534012
That's cool af

>>53535177
Awesome.
>>53538627
Gotta love the specs. Amazing things were done on such specs. These days you're barely allowed to complain if someone is wasting 640k RAM for no reason. And there was a time when having access to 640k was just a pipedream..
>>53532277
Mas que aconteceu à Marciana?
Most likely the Canon RC-250 Qpic.
This was probably the first still video camera marketed to the average consumer.
Shoots single frames of video recorded onto a compact video floppy disc.
Strangely enough, the picture quality isn't half bad, even if it's from the late 80s.
Then again it's been forever since I've looked at those pics, but I recall them being pretty decent for a device this ancient.
>>53528534
i miss my WYSE terminal now. trashed this marvel in 2004 when moving. it was hooked to some 386 PC and i learned a lot from it.
JUST
Got a Few for ya;
Here's a Epson Equity I+
Drawing lewds on my Mac Classic.
The auto-eject mechanism is broken on mine so it's an absolute bitch to keep swapping disks.

>>53544877
Dat Plasma screen.
Toshiba T3100e.
>>53544886
NEC Versa 2000C
>>53544951
I have one of those as well, the battery still somehow holds 1.5 hours of charge. Still has all the promotional stickers on it as well.
>>53544951
Grabbed this off Craigslist for One dollar.
Thinkpad 385CD
>>53544951
Is it just me, or did they totally copy that design from the 500 series powerbooks?
>>53544995
I dont think they look very alike. Other than both used that Nice dark Grey color.
