I've got some old evaluation/development kits available for adoption.
None is really anciet, but all offered as a unit to a good home.
1 Rabbit 2000 devkit with CD-ROM, wall wart and serial dongle
2 Digilent UNO Pic32 dev board
1 TI ez430-F2013 (MSP430) devkit (just small USB gizmo) with CD
None
Check the date code on the 'new' battery, there are quite a few sellers
that will sell you a battery 10 years old. Fry's is a perfect example.

There has been plenty of good suggestions already.
If I were you I would:
1. Check voltages from the PSU as mentioned previously.
2. Check AC LO / DC LO signals as Bill mentioned.
3. Strip out every card on the bus except of the terminator boards and the
M7859 programmers console.
4. Put the cons

About 15 years ago I told my girlfriend I wanted an RX8E controller
board for Christmas. I was curious how far she might go to get it for
me. I ended up with two packages: one from her 8 year old daughter
with a bit of 1x8 pine plank (If he wants a board, I'll get him a
board!), the other package w

Someone just dropped off a mac g3 at the scrapyard I work at and I picked it up.
It has a failing hard drive. Replaced the drive, downloaded and burned
a disk with mac os 8 on it, but it refuses to boot to it. How do I go
about installing the software on this machine?
Not sure if this is the place

Hi folks,
I’ve been contacted by someone looking for the user guide for this particular
beast, an early 90s mono laptop with built-in printer. The usual searches turn
up nothing other than pictures and she says she’s found a PDF but in German.
Any clues?

Latest updates...
I've taken the downloads for Enhanced DR-DOS 7.01-6 and 7.01-7,
trimmed the boot disk image to work with Virtualbox, added the actual
files to make the boot images bootable, and also added in the other
updated commands -- SYS.COM, XCOPY, TASKMGR, SHARE, and their README
files etc

I wonder if you could re-work the drive to use a standard 13W3 connector?

Hello!
I am about to start with the project to archive disks from the Incoterm

This system makes use of the Memorex 651 drive which is somewhat odd. It
has 64 tracks,is hard sectored with 32 sectors and spins at 375 rpm.
But I do have the drive which hopefully still is working. However t

For an 11/34A can one test for DC LO / AC LO? If so and you don't get the
correct reading that's a show stopper right there. Remove all but the
