Specifically as pertaining to old/vintage/classic/retro compuing discussion, what exactly is on topic? On top of my head as a for imstance I have some questions pertaining to Windows 2003 and socket 603/604. Something tells me that doesn't qualify, so it behooves me to ask.
My PRO 380 runs Venix/PRO. Which is cool, but someone sent me this:
https://www.frijid.net/blog/index.php/2015/06/07/182/
Allegedly this gets BSD 2.9 on, at least, the PRO 350. I'm particularly
interested because it supports networking. Anyone tried this on their PRO? Or
better still, an actual 380?

Does anyone have a November 1983 issue of PC Magazine?
I did find one on eBay, but it apparently got lost in transit during recent storms.
That issue has been digitally archived
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://archive.org/details/PC-Mag-1983-11/__;!…
But I was hoping to come across a physical copy.
Thanks!
Hi folk,
I am still looking for a DQ696 to allow me to get ESDI drives going on
both my microVAX and 11/73 since the Webster RQD11 controller failed I
only have the one. I'd also like to get old of an RQDX3 since I built a
Gesswein emulator and have nothing to test it with :-)
Any help appreciated,
Nigel

Was wondering if anyone had one of these and/or maybe had the software
floppy kicking around? It's an ISA card with a Z80 + RAM to shove into an
ISA slot for CP/M compatibility. Of course, information's sparse online and
forget software.
Here's a picture of said card, https://i.imgur.com/eJh2on5.jpg .

I've been working on a machine since early October that has seen a very
rough life. My inventory found it to be an IV/70 that was upgraded with an
IV/90 expansion chassis, an NP80 peripheral controller and a Wangco tape
system that I only received the the formatter for. I've been trying to
document most of the work so far on the vcfed forum and have a massive
payload of board and cable photos & board slot arrangements. There was also
boards for additional communication, disk and printing options I did not
receive and by backwards chance whie I do not have a terminal display I DO
have a keyboard, so that suddenly makes a keyboard-less terminal
considerably more desireable to me. I've sent a copy of the images off to Al
and to Gil Carrick over at the MITA but if anyone here wants a copy I can
send them a compressed file. It's 720mb in total. He has also supplied me
with some extra information and offered to loan a few items to assist in
testing but he has software and card stacks I currently cannot image and are
currently not imaged anywhere else that I have found. At this point I've
nailed down power supply and capacitor issues and am still working with
cabling and very, very little documentation, so I'm starting to run into
problems finding solutions for a number of problems regarding damaged
components and the IV/90 interconnect. I don't have the original IV/70
boardset for debugging.
Sellam, it was alluded that one point you also had a system. Is that still
the case? Does anyone have any additional information that can be grouped
together while I'm working to get this machine running again?

This eBay seller reached out to me and said they had 4 of these things + a disk controller that they’re trying to get rid of ASAP, ignore the list price and message them. I am not affiliated, had just previously messaged them inquiring if they had NonStop media for it and they do. I don’t have the means to go get these things so figured I’d post here so hopefully they don’t end up scrapped.

Commodore 64's generally sell for between $75-$200 these days on eBay.
Finding good, working ones (working SID, VIC-II, etc.) with clean cases
that don't have broken edges or inner tabs is getting harder.
The C128D is a much different story. Those were not produced in nearly the
numbers of the C64. I only came across one in all my days of collecting
(that used to be in my collection).
