Hey Terry, love your work!

I saw someone is pretending to be you on twitter.

I really enjoyed your presentation of Apple IIe, IBM PC, BBC Micro etc. You bring out the historical context so well. Apple IIe print ads for New Zealand are few and far between, but here are two that recently surfaced:-

What an interesting site. Love the repair stories. Started computers by winning a ZX81 which I sold to help cover the cost of a BBC B. Added a chip and then put a drive in a case I built. Still have lots of discs & parts in the cupboard. Have not run it since way - way back, so suspect it may be too hard.

nice job man. keep up the good work.

Love the retro aesthetic of this website. Keep it up.

I have been watching your videos for years. They are really grate intros to each platform. I hope you will make one about the Apple 1 or Apple 1 replica

Hello, can anyone remember Able electronics in upper Cuba St, (proprietor - Henry Old). Bought sold, and repaired anything electronic. I still colelct, and have old retro PC's and other items from those days.

Cool website, love that you can still show love to the machines even after you pass them on to new friends. Something I've realized about collecting is that we're not really the owners of these objects we cherish, we're the caretakers until we can pass them along to someone else who will enjoy them just as much as we did.

Hi I love your website, have been a long time lurker, I had a System 80 back in he 80's which served me very well. It was well kited out having an internal expansion (floppy/printer) board produced by John Gilbert in Auckland, hard to find information on tis board, I wish I had kept it.

One bit of errata on the following page, under the section 2.3

/system-80/hardware_s80.htm

You really need a dot point to highlight the fact the expansion connecter was not compatible with the TRS-80 (I think is mentioned elsewhere), but it was significant difference (deserves a bullet) because you could only get accessories specifically designed for the machine, TRS-80 ones wouldn't work. I think there may have been an adapter board but I don't know that for certain.

Greetings! I found this site thru a TRS-80 video you posted on YouTube. Great stuff! I am hoping to find your email address so I can ask you a specific question about an emulator I'm writng.

Thank you for the memories!

Just got my two Kaypro 2 computers up and running. I do not have boot disks and could use some help figuring out either where to acquire them or other ways of booting up the computers.
Thanks.

hi i like computers and this website makes me very happy thank you :)

Hoping to find a home for some 3.5" floppy discs.

Thank you for the information on the Dick Smith 80 Machine you provide not only historical but technical in value.

Came here for your PC-8201A content, but stayed for more! I think your archive is useful to anyone still trying to keep vintage tech going!

Great site! I'll be be sure to return.

I am looking for an AT power supply, with 2 x 6 pin connectors. With 230v input and output socket for monitor. For a DOS computer.

Turns out, there's still people using these old machines, made my day. Keep it up!

I had a problem trying to transfer some files on my old CPC 6128 and the "write protected error" was a real problem. Luckily your post "Amstrad CPC6128 - Acquisition, drive repair and software stockup" really saved the day. Thanks for the description and the pictures - the right nail and some pliers fixed the problem!

Appreciate this a lot! Found it quite worthwhile for an electrical and computer engineering history module :)
