I need to map the circuits before I can actually run it, because it needs two of the four 900W PSUs connected before it’ll run since it has two 8-core (and 8-way hyperthreaded) CPUs. It only has 64GB of RAM but can accommodate 1TB for not all that much given prices on the used market… And it can run AIX, Linux, *and* IBM i (aka OS/400)! #retrocomputing

Formatieren einer Diskette ist für jeden Floppy-Besitzer das erste, was er mit ihr macht. Was beim Formatieren passiert und weshalb die Floppy so nervig rattert, warum es so lange dauert und wie es schneller geht, erfahren Sie in folgendem Artikel.

I’ve been packing, organizing, downsizing, in prep to move across town. I’m going from a 1 bedroom apartment all to myself to 2 bedrooms, some storage space in a garage, and a storage unit. There are some of the bins going to storage. I’m also rehomed about half my collection. Eventually this will all come with me to Colorado whenever it is that I’m able to move. Been taking pics of bins to have a basic idea of what I have in storage and thought I’d share some pics. #retrocomputing

I'm not really into old computers but if I ever got the chance and could afford to buy a Tandy PC-6 pocket computer, that still works, I certainly would.

I had a PC-6 during my apprenticeship in electronics from 1988 to 1990. It was a great little device.

So the LC started restarting itself over and over as soon as it would bong. Turned it off. Now it doesn’t turn on. Fan and floppy start going, video wakes up the monitor but doesn’t send any video. PSU works in the LCII; LCII’s PSU doesn’t make any difference in LC. Ohhhh, old computers. #RetroComputing 💩
