It still works, yes, but it has problems from what I know. I hope to get it fully fixed up and possibly show it off at any future vintage computer conventions like VCFMW if it still happens this year. There's not really much I can compare to as every monitor varies, and this being a prototype...

Hello everyone, recently I purchased a bundle to play around /fix up some Atari and Commodore computers, and among them there was an Atari XC1411 monitor. This is a rare prototype "sample" monitor that supposedly was for show at CES Las Vegas in 1985 (no clue why it's all the way nearly on the...

Hello there. Recently I have picked up a Vectrex system, but I have a problem with a broken joystick in the controller. Luckily the rest of the controller is fairly easy to fix up, but the joystick isn't as easily replaceable as it is no longer made or sold separately. Recently I found a...

Thank you ex_bubblehead, do you happen to know which calculators they may be compatible with? I did happen to also find a TI-60 near them, although I did not see a slot I could insert them into... Unless I'm just blind? Again, thank you!

Hello, I had a question for anyone who may know a bit more about Texas Instruments. Recently I found a small leather booklet with 4 pages mostly filled with special strips. Closer inspection led me to seeing that the backs may be readable like film, yet I don't know what they are or what they go...

It's interesting and different, why shouldn't I be? Plus I've learned so much from it!

Do you know how I can tell if it may be running CP/P or Xenix?

Thank you SO much for the insight. Hopefully it's rare enough to being worth quite a bit, not to mention it came with a Motorola Keyboard. One other thing I wanted to ask was why both the terminal and the IBM had their own keyboard if they connected into only each other? If you know why, let me...

When I say old, I mean it. I've done a lot of research and found my motherboard to be an MS-3121. MSI's site is the only place with some info and I would love to learn more about my board. Every slot is half filled, so there's only half the ram, one out of two CPUs, etc. If anybody can link me...

I have NO clue how to get video onto this old Motorola monitor I got not too long ago. I got it with an IBM 5150 (which may or may not have parts taken, I'm not too sure, but the IBM didn't have any recognizable video port either). The Motorola TM3220/TM3180 has only 4 ports. The first is a...
