When getting a new-to-you vintage computer, don't forget to do this ONE important thing before turning it on... 👀

@garthbeagle I love this so much 🤣❤️

@retrotechtom I’d wager it’s the power supply or the analog board. Likely a cap has failed or there’s a broken solder joint somewhere. Thankfully those are both fixable 👍

@MuseumJoe woo-hoooo! 🎉

@BigBadBiologist I'll take those useless PCBs off your hands!

Today we have a Mac IIci that has seen some better days, here's hoping we can get it working!

@sjcooke66 I have both of the physical manuals / user guides, thanks!

The serial port pinout I may be able to guess, but the software is an unknown and is likely needed.

Do you have a Panasonic NeoFile business card reader & PDA??

Do you also have the optional serial cable and NeoLink software? 💾

I’d love to play around with mine but the software isn’t archived and the serial port seems unique. 😫

Please share to help me find it! 🤞

Let's archive some more Apple vintage CDs! 💿🍏

@kefkafloyd @ActionRetro @RonsCompVids And we're lucky to have you as a friend! 🙂

@eric I will be!

@eric More like a hardware / software combination. Apple (and later Farallon) sold an AppleTalk ISA PC card and software from around 87’-92’.

I'm doing some silly stuff on my 2nd channel, not sure how long I'll go until I rage quit with this PC nonsense...

But stop by, subscribe and take pity on this naive Macintosh fool! 😅

I invented a thing!

So it's time to perform some questionable surgery on my Performa 550 to add some SCSI voodoo to it! 😅

@d_j_fitzgerald Apple (and later Farallon) made an ISA LocalTalk card in ‘87-‘91... it’s just as janky as you’d think. I’ve been messing with this since 2021 and this is the first time it’s almost fully worked. 😅

My PC is crashing the #GlobalTalk party! 🤣

@GLFC I’ve been trying to get this thing to work since 2021, so I beg to differ 😅😅😅

*Dr. Evil laugh* 🤣

I recently picked up a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and a Newton 120 - let's see if they work on this evening's live stream!

This past weekend I exhibited with @ActionRetro and @RonsCompVids to show off some "Totally Normal Computers" at VCF East.

Check out our shenanigans here:
