Well, Computer Hardware club at my school has acquired a Mac Classic. It's ugly and yellowed as sin, and currently not working (checkerboard, though I did get it to boot from ROM once) I know what to try to stop the checkerboard. However, I don't know what to do to open the thing. Because of...

Finally there are pictures! http://picasaweb.google.com/486box/CanonCat# Again, at some point in the distant future I'll upload some piccies of the printer and its results. The system is very cool, especially disk operations. Each disk is 256k, and is a direct copy of all the memory in the...

Driving that would be horrible. The panels look good, but the low-rider-ness just looks like crap, and I imagine going over things like speedbumps and potholes wouldn't be fun.

It's here. Will post pics tomorrow, but I can say this: It came entirely in its original beat-up packaging, including styrofoam, with all manuals in perfect condition. The machine itself is extremely dirty on the outside but smells fine, no smoke smell, and works perfectly. It came with a Cat...

Like I said, picking up Friday, but will upload photos then.

WOO! There was an ad on the local CL advertising this beautiful old computer, with original boxes, some disks, and a printer, all for free! I fired off an email and after a long and fairly slow conversation, I'm picking it up from the guy's parents' house Friday. Can't wait to try it out -...

I like Sierra's stuff, esp the King's Quest series. I second EA, mainly because they release the same games over and over and over again with minor graphics updates, and have been since what, early 90s? Madden [year], I'm looking at you.

Next step: Download a bunch of these: http://www.virtualapple.org/ and get to playing!

Or you could just plunk the laptop down on top of a box fan like I do... keeps it nice and cool, even on the lowest setting. :p

*Ahem* Those people that you say have no pots to piss in are not the target market. Have fun with your straw man, though. *deep breath* Why does a discussion of a cool piece of hardware always have to turn into a debate with both sides mudslinging? Maybe there are people it'll benefit, maybe...

Sadly, since I was on vacation for the last week of the RC and forgot to bring my Olivetti, this is as far as it got during the RC, and this is how it'll be judged. However, I will still be working on it as a personal project and I'll keep you guys posted on its progress. I'd love to see...

Sidestepping the issue that Quadraman and Bunsen are so angry about (for the record, I'm with Bunsen, but I'll say no more but that) If Contiki gets ported to that, I am getting one even if I have to get it shipped from India, assuming of course it has a modem/ethernet/some communications port...

II2II, porter, in a minor way paws: Chill. It is not that important. For those of you who think it's stupid, it won't sell if it's stupid, and it'll die out. For those of you who think it's brilliant, it'll sell well if it is, and help people out. Either it helps people or it dies out. There's...

I would love one of these... I'm not contributing anything to the debate on whether it's useful or not, but the thing does sound pretty cool, especially if it'll be Apple II software compatible.

Man I wish I lived near a decent computer auctioneer.

On Saturday I was cruising Craigslist for a new SLR (No D, too cheap :p ) and found this beauty: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/pho/761214149.html I immediately got out some of my paycheck and fired off an email, after a short stop to look for info about the C700 (it passed inspection. Not...

Also, if anyone can tell me why RETURN doesn't work on line 3050 (as you can see, there's a GOSUB on line 30) I'd be much obliged.

Used a Kermit terminal session on the PC side and SAVE"COM:58N1E on the Olivetti side.

Well, as promised, here is the code for the game thus far. Note that there is no inventory system up yet (there's the beginning of one, but I removed it from this version so it's not clogging it up - doesn't work yet) and basically all you can do is walk around the 4 pretty rooms I inserted for...

arfink; I've been trying to do that; for some reason (following the instructions here: http://www.club100.org/library/twe/c2c01.html , section "Model T to Desktop" and using a Toshiba T2110CS with DOS and kermit 3.14) I can transfer from the Toshiba to the Olivetti but not vice versa. EDIT: WOO...
