I have some pc 2100 crucial. A 9700 pro radeon and a newly made 3700 clawhammer keychain. I was switching my daughters newcastle out and dropped the claw in between the dvd drive and the case. Pulled it out and 50 of the 754 pins were bent oooppps!

@ricecar: I wonder, is the TTL where O'Reilly got the inspiration for their series? Not the same kind of book of course, but just the naming is what I wonder about. I've not seen it mention in any of the forwards of their books so I suppose not. Anyway, good stuff. I've always wanted to read the TTL since I first heard about it about 10 years ago. I think it came out a year before I was born. I'd actually forgotten about it until I saw your mention of it. Looks like I can snag it for $3 on Amazon. :)

Oh, and my best is a 486DX2 50MHz or an Amiga 200HD. Nothing compared to teh 8080A. :)

The TTL Cookbook was a great book. Mine has rosin all over from soldering on top of the open book. Dunno if it launched O'Reilly Press. Sure launched a lot of hobbyists though. That book, a half dozen 74xx, a 555 timer, and a handfull of LEDs could keep a boy busy for days.

MOre on topic: Saw my Commodore SX 64 in my store room. Someday I'll get my college thesis off those 5-1/4 floppies and ditch the thing ... or put an EPIA board in it and make it an MP3 server.

I have about 20 years of pc hardware in boxes lol. You name it theres some kind of matching component in my basement. anyone want a 300 baud usrobotics modem?

[Riptide]

I have an old Adaptec 8-bit ISA SCSI host controller sitting around. Can't remember the model, but she's ancient history...

[CaptNKILL]

Wow, besides ricercar, you guys got nothing on the classic crap I have. I have a 3.5"x2" 45Mb Seagate hard drive, a 2Gb Quantum Bigfoot 5 1\4 drive, LS-120 Superdisk drive, a whole 1996 era gaming system (Pentium 200MMX, 96Mb EDO, Sierra Scream'n 3d 4mb video card), an SGI Indigo 2 Impact workstation (amazing machine... too bad I dont know to fix them :p)... and lots more. Im such a pack-rat :D

I'll take some pictures when I get home from work...

[Riptide]

Does software count? I have an original copy of Star Flight (EA, 1985) in the box with my notes from when I was playing it back then.

I also have the original Wing Commander I floppy discs.

[zer0]

pentium 100 (keychain) :)

[Gator]

In my attic I have in good condition an old 8bit ISA Tecmar memory board. It came from an IBM XT equiped with 256K RAM. The Tecmar board adds an additional 384K RAM for 640K total... and the length is a good 1.5 feet.

I also have a 20meg RLL hard drive with 8bit ISA connector attached, and a 5.25" 360K floppy drive.

Less than a year ago I sold my three Voodoo2 cards :cry:

[Dr@Home]

[Riptide]

Dr@Home a friend of mine used to own that system's equivalent IBM machine. I think it was called the PC Portable. Had that little amber screen, fold out keyboard, big old 5 1/4" 360K (or was it 180K?) floppy drives... Quite a dinosaur now lol.

[Dr@Home]

ours has 2 of those big old floppy drives. :)
