I have one of those too. (Except it's torn apart and half the parts are history by now.)

I'll post some pics of stuff here later.

Thanks,

Hell yes. You can have all of it. I have a whole box (or two) of that kind of stuff you can come pick up one of these days.

Some of it is in less than great care; however. (I don't suppose that would be much of a problem for you though, I know you have the skill to repair it.)

Have to make it out there sooner then later anyhow , yo momma needs to talk to me over a brew anyhow.

I'm looking for my 3.1 floppys right now , seems the OS is borked on this thing , I'm hoping DOS is intact.

Sounds good. (You're gonna have to let me know a few days beforehand, I have dozens of things on my platter between work, school and extracurricular's.)

I'll have to start dragging this stuff out of the bowels of the basement then. (After my mom decorated for Christmas EVERYTHING I had setup there is no more, since the decorations needed as much space as we could POSSIBLY find.)

Thanks,

been there done that, especially when I was much younger Id'e be doing who knows what , and in the excitement , get a couple of those white charred looking impressions on a finger or two .

I should spring for a nice iron, but I'm too cheap, it would be nice to have one of those precision boxes where you can regulate the temperature, and the heat is on demand.

Here's an old real floppy , the kind we started on , running DOS games off of. Which will end up replacing the CD in this Packard Bell .
