I picked this up from my music class in my school since the teacher said he had no use for it because it was burnt out (which i see bc of the burn). I'm pretty sure I can't repair this because I have zero experience with a computer this old. I don't want to salvage it, maybe I can try to replace the monitor if possible and yes,I discharged it.

Folks really liked the video I did on Wargames, so I decided to do another one on Hackers. Let me tell you, this movie is not good. Sorry, but it's true. But it does touch on a bunch of cultural and technical things from the 80s and 90s.

It was $10 at the thrift store and I'm not sure much information about it and I have no clue where the hard drive might be located

the laptop came with 256MB of ram and it has a dvd drive and a floppy drive and a network card

Cool mech warrior 3 demo disk can’t place where it would’ve come from ? Magazine most likely but still a interesting find and slice n’ hook was interesting since I’ve never heard of it

I’ve been working on a small project called 3Dos — a low-poly 3D renderer targeting MS-DOS and VGA Mode 13h (320×200, 256 colors).

The renderer currently supports:
● Triangle rasterization with backface culling
● Ordered dithering using a 4×4 Bayer matrix
● Double buffering
● Simple low-poly models

Going back to DOS-era graphics has been relaxing after spending quite a bit of time with Vulkan. No boilerplate or abstractions, just putting a pixel at 0xA000.

Hi everyone. I'm looking to get my old Snap! Server 1100 running again. Its IDE disk died, and it seems like I need a disk image to rebuild a replacement disk.

Unfortunately it looks like the original ultimate source of information, the ProCooling forums, are long gone. After digging through the few WayBack Machine captures I've been able to find, it appears that I need either a DD image of a working 1100 disk, or a copy of 'Snap2000.zip' or 'snap2000.bin.rar', which seem to be unobtainable these days.

https://web.archive.org/web/20201127121247/http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=15648

Would anyone happen to have a copy of this image file? Or, barring that, would anyone here happen to have a Snap! 1100 or 2000 they'd be willing to get me a DD dump of?

I was just searching around a bit in my basement. I knew I still had a VMS 9-track installation tape somewhere. And here it is.

Back then, DEC would send these tapes as part of a “distribution set.” It consisted of three tapes:

1. Boot medium and required system files
2. Libraries and optional VMS components
3. DECwindows software

This tape here is reserved for user u/hildenborg and his MicroVAX II with TS05 tape drive.

It came from a Sony VAIO VGN-T140P. What type of HDD does it use?

I woke up to a 3am text from a friend who entered the hobby in the middle of the night after I dragged them to the Midwest VCF a month or so ago.
