New Zealand Vintage Computer Forums

I have one of these also... great little machine running Lubuntu.. It doesn't have enough RAM to run modern browsers, so I don't run the shell. (384MB - even linux is getting disgraceful in that regard) It's just sits on the network being a kind of a generic C++ plaything for me via PuTTY.

When I'm playing araound with generic C/C++ stuff, it's kinda nice to not do it on x86. I like the idea of trying to be architecture agnostic.

On Sunday I popped in to my Churches op shop, I managed to grab the following:

An early pc joystick - 50c
Half a dozen 5.25 inch floppies with this cool case thing - 50c
Boxed talking calculator thing - $1.50



I have no clue how old or rare it is but it looks cool, original box and bubble wrap included

IBM 3270 Graphics Control Program User Guide - $1?



Mine looks similar to the one in the picture. (I couldn't find a picture online of it) I think its from the seventies. Its a thick manual talking about some sort of graphics thing, with 5 floppies labeled with 'Graphics control Program'. I googled it a bit, but I couldn't much information about it, I couldn't even find disk images of the floppies. Definitely an interesting find.
