Hello, I attended Waiopehu college from 1983-1987. Rory Butler was my computer teacher. We used to save our programs to casette tape mostly, but I do remember one machine that has a floppy disk. Mr Butler was the best I would love to catch up with him to say thank you.

I've noticed you don't post to YouTube anymore. I do appreciate you're collection of videos. They are some of the most interesting I've seen on YouTube of classic retro computers. Thanks for sharing them :)

G'day Tezza,

Wow, what a great site this is.

I worked at Tandy's Sydney office way back when servicing the TRS-80 range. I fixed the first faulty Model 2 and Model 3 that came thru the workshop.

Great memories. I hope to replay some of those great old games.

Thanks again,

Mike H

I still love this stuff after all these years. I worked in the TRS-80 Model 4 computer assembly plant in San Antonio. Man, those were fun times!

Thanks for the Cassette CAS information. I have found that my System 80 will not load computer audio CAS files. The problem is caused by there not being a long enough delay after the Sync Byte A5 and the start of the three D3 bytes. Found this out by using an Arduino program to simulate CAS audio input to the System 80. Guess System 80's are not as fast as Tandy TRS-80's.

We have two vintage Osborne computers (plus manual) bought in the UK around 1983. If anyone is interested to have these please email me. Otherwise they will be going to computer graveyard as we clear out our house.

My first computer was a 4k TRS-80 CoCo, bought in 1982. Was a regular haunter of the local Radio Shack back in the Compuserve, Tymnet, and Telenet days. Thanks for all the preservation work you do. Hope to see some new YouTube videos soon!

On your System 80 site. Under emulators you reference SDL2TRS a couple times. But the emulator is just sdltrs there is no 2 in the name.

Hello, I've noticed that Bits & Bytes magazine issue 1 No 1 is missing 4 pages (2,3,38,39) and issue 1 no 4 has pages 32 and 33 duplicated. Ive not gone through all of them... Any chance of getting hold of the 4 missing pages mention above? waiting in anticipation

Regards

Chris

I have a complete copy of a DSE-80 technical manual with circuits (approx. 15 double page width).

About 100 pages as a guess with full descriptions of how it all works.

Anyone interested.

Hi Everyone,
Refurbing some 5160 XT's I have had in my barn 25 years!

Also trying to fix DS12887A RTC in old motherboards. I DID fix one with no surgery and external battery...

Hi Terry, I think we met about 2006-7 via the Massey E-Learning "Train The Trainers" project - I was the system admin for our WebCT-then-Moodle systems at Canterbury. I began in 1982 with an Apple //e but realised it wasn't a serious system and bought a Kaypro with the Wordstar software. This was while teaching in Wanaka in 1984 - my wife got a baby and I got a computer, inevitably followed by PCs. Then I left teaching and after several IT jobs ended up at Canterbury. Your classic computers site is a treasure, I'll visit it regularly though I don't have any old PCs any more due to retirement downsizing.Keep it up!
