My adventures for the afternoon: building a PS/2 mouse bracket for a retro motherboard (FIC PA-2007).

Building a PS/2 mouse header
Post covering how I adapted a PS/2 mouse bracket to fit my FIC PA-2007 motherboard.

The Commodore 64 Ultimate is really a masterclass in how to make a new #retrocomputing product the right way.
While I don't have one, I really appreciate the attention to details and the way they're marketing it.
Also astounding that there were so many naysayers (I unfollowed or blocked so many retrocomputing people who were outright hostile to it). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Time to really get into the future-vibes of 2026, so here's a post from AmigaOS 3.x in AmiKit! #amiga #retrocomputing

Glad to see that the software on the white MacBook is up to date!

So I look through my pile of 8" floppies for @… thinking I'll have a few random ones to send him, and I find a motherload of Perq floppies!

Is there anyone in #brazil who would help me by purchasing some (small/lightweight) #retrocomputing items available domestically from mercadolivre and ship them to me in Germany? #followerpower

30 years ago... wouldn't it be nostalgic to play Commodore 64 games on your PC, asks this German article from PC Player 12/1995.
I love meta-retrocomputing.

Hi #retrocomputing #retro peoples, I've got an HP D510C/845G machine, part number 268899-999 that needs a CPU- everything else is in the machine except for the CPU. What should I get (including fans, and paste recommendations)?

I was #retrocomputing on modern hardware today. I bought some Jaz drives for moving files to retro machines. I could never get them working on the retro machines. Turns out two out of three drives were no good. So, that explains that frustration.....

Who's ready to clean some floppy drive heads? Not really the way I planned to spend my day off but things are reaching dire straights for available floppy drives. Starting to hold up other projects.

Does anyone have a restore CD for a Toshiba Satellite Pro 425? (might be the same as for the 420).
Yes, I know that archive.org exists. There’s various restore CDs there but I couldn’t find one for the 420/425 series.
(If you have one and can’t image it, I can do it for you and archive it.)

Well, I had the dip switches set incorrectly and it was trying to test memory that didn't exist. Fixed that and the floppy drives seem to work as well...
I'm also impressed that the Dell System 200 DOS 3.3 Master disk (circa 1987) is still working.

Looking for a PowerBook G3 Pismo to buy from someone ideally Arizona or west coast, if you have a working one that you want to sell on, pls DM me and let me know what you have and how much you’re thinking?
#retrocomputing

It's alive!
The IBM 5150 (AKA IBM PC) just needed two caps on the 12V line replaced. The monitor had some plastic rattling around in the case. Both of those were pretty easy to solve.

I hate trying to work with OS/2. I'm told this worked on IBM systems, but it's a pain in the ass on anything else. Right now, it can see the drive, crate partitions, but not volumes. And it needs volumes to install.
I'm at the point where I be happy if it nuked my two windows installs (because I can put those back) if it would just install itself....
