Greetings! I found this site thru a TRS-80 video you posted on YouTube. Great stuff! I am hoping to find your email address so I can ask you a specific question about an emulator I'm writng.

Thank you for the memories!

Just got my two Kaypro 2 computers up and running. I do not have boot disks and could use some help figuring out either where to acquire them or other ways of booting up the computers.
Thanks.

Thank you for the information on the Dick Smith 80 Machine you provide not only historical but technical in value.

Came here for your PC-8201A content, but stayed for more! I think your archive is useful to anyone still trying to keep vintage tech going!

I am looking for an AT power supply, with 2 x 6 pin connectors. With 230v input and output socket for monitor. For a DOS computer.

I had a problem trying to transfer some files on my old CPC 6128 and the "write protected error" was a real problem. Luckily your post "Amstrad CPC6128 - Acquisition, drive repair and software stockup" really saved the day. Thanks for the description and the pictures - the right nail and some pliers fixed the problem!

Hello,

I enjoyed reading about your PET situation...and indeed, share your fear of lifting traces when de-soldering...but have had pretty good success in removing chips and sockets, but indeed, things happen...I am currently working on getting my PET collection up and running...there are 39 of them...and I have started with the oldest of the old...and it is going pretty well, but some of them are indeed frustrating and yes, sockets do fail...they absolutely do...so always be aware that the chips might be just dandy but the holder might have a broken pin in there...much the same as a cold solder joint...

Hi Tezza,
It's been awhile since I visited. When your site popped up on a commodore search, I thought I'd stay for a bit. Just signing in again to update my info, and to say Hello.

Hello!!

Take care,
Simon

Started with an inherited System 80 mk 1 with cassette and also later had a Blue Label which was heavily mod'ed with CP/M, 64K RAM, home made Expansion unit with Percom Doubler, and a mix of 720k and 360K FDD's as well as a bunch other mods. Fantastic system for learning computers right from the start.

Love the Site and the stroll down memory lane. Thanks!!

Stumbled upon your collection and it amazes me that the newest one in it is actually my age! Lol! Love your little museum.

I have read a Wikipedia article on the Poly-1 and its use in Rotorua Boys High School where I was a teacher, and was seconded by Progeni Systems to develop software for NZ schools, with Professor John Tiffin as Supervisor, and when Perce Harpham was in his heyday. There is a citation to a Bits & Bytes article ‘Polys at Rotorua BHS’ that says August 1981, yet, according to this site, the magazine did not appear till 1982. Can you please check for the right edition date, and provide a link so someone can update the Wikipedia page?
