I love how folks are sharing their #vcfmw finds and restorations. I hope the computers I sold get restored well.

Memtest on a 386sx
While I wait for #VCFMW video proxy generation, thought I would touch actual vintage hardware for a change. With the help of @necroware.bsky.social nwX287 RTC module, one of my Dell 316sx's has functional CMOS again. Found 2 more 1mb simms and an old version of memtest86 to verify the configuration.

I learned that Ron's GameBoy Camera was willingly turned over to police custody due to the content it contained.

I picked up a brown $5 Macintosh IIsi at #VCFMW. It had some battery and capacitor leakage / corrosion. The electronics have been through the citric acid ultrasonic bath, so let's see how things have cleaned up and if we can get it to boot. Saturday noon eastern. youtube.com/live/blxlf4I...

#VCFMW - Saturday afternoon, by the valet station:
Man 1: "What kind of event is this?"
Man 2: "Some kind of old computer sci-fi thing."
Man 1: "Can't be a sci-fi thing, too many of these people smell like soap."

Pickups from #VCFMW
I grabbed some neat stickers, a couple SuperDisk disks, an Orion build-a-blinkie, a PCMCIA NIC (WITH dongle), a couple Pentium 90s and a 486 DX/33
Off the free pile I got this Gateway 486 (board only inside) and a decent little 13” TV with a component input.

#VCFMW, Saturday night, LAN party room:
Guy: "There's a lot of people in here gaming!"
Me: "Between upstairs and downstairs, there's like 100 people hanging out."
Guy: "I'm only interested in the people playing games. The people upstairs are somebody else's problem. I bet they just play Sudoku."

#VCFMW, Saturday, show floor:
Guy: "Are all these laptops for sale?"
Me: "It's just a display. Took me 2-3 years of collecting and then another year of repairing and getting them all into shape for the show. Want to hear about it?"
Guy: "Nah. I just wanted to know if they were for sale."
Me: :|
