Yes please. Sure. As long as there isn’t any signs of mould and the box has enough structural integrity to secure my IW II, I’m ok with a little smell. I purchased a PB 160 from a guy who was a heavy smoker a number of years back. It came with the original box and all the inserts. The 160 is...

Moar quality shitposting from Finkmac……..EH!

Also good lord on that price 😳 Value Village should be fecking ashamed of themselves for gouging customers like that.

I’m in Brampton, but I might be willing to make a trip to Peterborough as my IW II never came with any packaging. Or we could meet up somewhere in the GTA. Let me know.

I have the weird breakout cable and the DOS card (and a spare motherboard). Plus the disks and manuals. Though both boards need a recap. Kind of need the 6100 to run the DOS card. That was the whole point of that model. Mine as well.

Guess I should sell my 6100 DOS for $6100 bucks.

No, but I do have a 1701 monitor and a VIC-20 (and their paint seems to match the colour of this filing cabinet). Plus two Amigas. Oh and a Datasette.

The card has 10MB currently

Commodore filing cabinet (with wheels): Great shape. The only oddity I noticed is it has an exposed base. Was that a thing back then?

So you’re recommending I should go to 16MB total? Any particular brand of RAM sticks to lookout for? It’s currently being used to connect my SB-2770 Sound Blaster card to the OrangePC.

Yes, my mistake. No upgrades have been done to either machine. Would like to get a ROM 3 installed someday. I forgot to mention the lack of fan in both units. How well do they dissipate heat with expansion cards installed? Should I hunt down a Kensington System Saver? I have one for my Plus.

Opened up both IIGS units. One of them had the Sandwich II Apple SCSI card, so I shouldn’t have any issues running the external drive: I also had two Apple memory expansion cards. One of them is fully populated (I think that gives me 1MB - could be wrong): Had a third party memory expansion...

These docs do open in Word 5.1 and they are manuals. I could post some pics. I made the icons smaller as to show what was recoverable on the IIfx. But yeah, sounds like I'm going to have the boot this drive on the IIGS (if one of them has a SCSI card).

It does (fortunately). Let's hope the retention tabs aren't brittle. I wonder what the max RAM is on the 486? I have about 10MB currently on the card.

Got this lovely error message trying to boot into DOS: Of course, pressing Enter did nothing, and I simply quit and rebooted the OrangePC program. On occasion, I would get this error. It’s been happening for a couple of months: Are the RAM chips failing on the OrangePC card (even though it...

So shifting the jumper worked (it now shows as ID #2 on the IIfx) and the drive itself is in good shape according to Norton Disk Doctor (no bad blocks). However, Norton detected corruption with the IIGS software that is installed on this drive and could not fix the issue with whatever is ailing...

I figured out the root cause of the conflict. According to my MTP Emergency Boot Disk, the external drive is reading as SCSI 0, which is the ID number for the IIfx’s internal drive. So for some reason the ID switch on the external drive is not working. I checked the connections - everything...

Connected the external drive to the IIfx’s SCSI port. Got the blinking question mark on startup. Tried different SCSI IDs on the external drive - same issue. The IIfx’s internal drive works perfectly, so I’m not sure what is causing the conflict. I might have to dig out the IIGS after all. 🧐

It is I’ll connect it tonight to the IIfx and see what happens.
