Tell us the oldest or most interesting piece of hardware at your home ! :) Post pics of them !

I have a CP400 ! :)

[AshG]

I have a Commodor 64C and a 1571 (modded!) disk drive hanging around somewhere. Man, that 1571 modded drive was fun, back in the days when you could add in PCB extensions to copy games....

[Kruno]

Does a 486/DX count? :p

[FastM]

I actually threw away my 286 system not to long ago. I was tired of it collecting dust and didn't see a point in keeping any longer. It was tough to do though, being my first machine and all....

[fishlung]

Does a Intellivision count? I have a AppleIIC boxed up somewhere, too. But I think that's it.

[Mod]

Yes, any hardware. Oh, I have an atari 2600 ! :)

[The Baron]

Amiga 500, Amiga 3000.

Both Work. Booyah. :p

Also, got I think 2 old TI computers... with cartridges and stuff. Pieces of crap.

I've got several 2600's. Such a good system for it's day.

As for old pc hardware I used to have some 286's and some tandy stuff but I threw it all out a long time ago. The most interesting bits of hardware I've got right now would have to be my modded cubx and Tualain Celeron cpu.

I have a few 1 megabyte memory boards, they are about 1.5'x2'. And I have a higher end model, that is 2 megabytes.:D

[Cereal-Killer]

How about a Mac LC II from 1991 or something...

[sbp]

I got a Coleco Adam stashed somewhere.

[Nephilim]

I have a Magnavox Odyssey 2. That's the oldest piece of hardware I have. It still works too.

Originally purchased brand new in 1978. :D

[outriding9800]

i have an IBM 8088 with..

now hold on...

640K of ram

and a 10Mhard drive.

[LORD-eX-Bu]

I have a 386 laptop with a 40 meg HD.

[thcdru2k]

man i wasn't even born yet when most of this stuff came out lol.

[marqmajere]

My wife. :D
No seriously. An Odyssey 3000. Plays pong, smash, two player smash, and hockey. (all varients on pong) Still works. Great fun to play.

I have a couple of 486's lying around, a really really old compaq system with a blistering x2 cd drive:D

I don't think we have the amiga anymore :(

[Darth Rancid]

I have got an old Milton Bradley Vectrex from 1983:

Its an old videogame system, using a built in vector screen... has a bunch of games for it too... :)

[Mod]

No body here with of VCRs (like betamax ) or laser disc players ? :)

[ragejg]

EDITED TO REMOVE SALES PITCH (LOL)...


I have an Adaptec PM3334UW SCSI controller (rackmount) that was given to me for the heck of it, and I've found that it's fairly valuable and has great performance!

Bla bla bla, that wasn't interesting... I do have an all in one floppy drive, tho. Came with a Swan 486. Both floppy sizes in one drive. It looks slick and works great. Wish I still had my DOS games (Duke, Jill, Keen, Dave, Electrobody, Scorched Earth)

I have an old Swan 386DX/33 server (with math-co it's as quick as a 486DX/33), a Swan 486DX/33 server, a no-name P-90 big tower server w/tape backup, (5) P75-P133 workstations running NT 3.51, a 13" b & w monitor, loads of AT cases, and.... A PENTIUM 60!!

If anyone here want to sell or trade, that is another forum for it ;) . I don't want this thread to change to a sell/trade thing. :)

[Ryoko]

compaq portable plus

8088 w/ 640k ram, 30mb hdd.

still runs, and is the computer i make all my viruses on :)

[Spectral]

Hehe, I have an old Sony Betamax player... Still use it too.

My favorite though is probably this Sansui RA-500 Reverb Amplifier... Since I make tunes, occasionally I use it for that nifty, "Dub" style Reverb... I even went and found a pic of it.

Is that a big purple towel in the back?:D

[Matthyahuw]

I have this old ATi card (at least I think it's from ATi) it's an ISA card with S-vid, RCA-vid and some audio outs (or ins?) on it as well...Someone gave it to me, and I have NO clue as to what this card's purpose was...
