Post your Vintage Tech!

[Cormier6083]

Look closely... it's Powerpoint for Windows.

Pity that I got rid of the old 5 1/4" floppy disks a long time ago. MS-DOS 3.3 or Windows 1.03 would really be vintage tech.

LOL, I'm so blind

[Cormier6083]

I'm sure we all got one of these in the closet.

(sorry for the image quality, it's just so much easier to take pics with my phone. :p )

Yes, that is Starfox 64 (best game ever!)

[linc63]

A computer controlled game !

Never had batteries in , never used !

[Angelic Marge]

'89!

I just threw a Game Boy which I found in the back of a cupboard in the bin last week cause it didn't work.

On a floppy diskette. :p

-16bit ISA video card with VGA and CGA ports

-Some sort of memory upgrade card for 30 pin SIMMs

-ST-506 and floppy drive controller from 1988.

Edit: A 5 1/4" floppy disk and an original IBM Fortran punchcard, unused.

Wow, I really feel old when I look at some of the other vintage tech on here. :pinch:

Wow, a Fortran card... that's old. :D

This isn't mine, but somewhere I have one the same...

[sanctified Veteran]

Mine its black, but still.

Ah, my beloved TI 99/4a, all the styling of a modern iMac with all the memory of a modern digital watch :-) This thing actually had dedicated video memory. On boot up you can either load a cartridge or open a TI Basic prompt. I also have the solid state memory module (basically RAM + a battery), as well as the Speech Synthesizer module, which basically does nothing :p

Here's a picture of one hooked up with all of the optional peripherals:

TI Basic and Buck Rodgers FTW!

One of my most prized possessions, my Amiga 600. Sold my A500 around '95, but missed it so much that I had to get something to replace it.

My very first computer, the Sinclair Spectrum 48K.

The only games I still have for it, in one damn fine box.

[pyehac]

All I have is the original NES, and a 5 1/4 floppy drive

[Cormier6083]

You mind sharing one of those iBooks? :D

Anyone remember what that was :p? First phone I ever had, and still one of the best.

[CrashG]

This isn't mine but one like it, Amiga A500, second floppy drive, 1084S monitor and the hard drive add-on (with a Samsung 250MB HDD).

I finally packed it up and put it away, but it still works fine.

I just threw a Game Boy which I found in the back of a cupboard in the bin last week cause it didn't work.

Mine still works great. I even heard that a GameBoy which survived a bomb in the Gulf War is exhibited in a Nintendo Center somewhere...

[nmesisca]

cant post pictures because all this stuff is safely stored but I have:

- commodore 64 + tape drive + floppy drive 5.25 + printer (all is working and in perfect conditions)

- Vespa 150 (all parts original of 1964, including the plates and documents)

- B/W Brionvega ALGOL 11'' TV (from 1968 more or less) in perfect working order (exposed at the Metropolitan museum)

- MS windows 3.0 (floppy disk 5.25) original with manuals and box

Going to keep the stuff as long as I can, though someone offered 7000euro for the Vespa (not gonna sell it, my dad uses it to go shopping)

[zfsodZJ5jKXD]

i own 2 Apple II's

Clicky for more info

a whopping 1mhz and one of them has 4kb ram and the other even has 8kb !

To bad one of them doesn't work that fine anymore :(

Oh and don't forget the load of games and "joysticks" i have with them. The "joystick" is just a little box with a button and a big turnable nob lol :D

a nice mix of "vintage" tech on this thread.... really shows the age of each poster :p

"look at my year 2000 cell phone lawl"

"i have a windows 98 cd!"

:happy:

[beanboy89]

I have lots of old stuff sitting around, but most of it is at home. Here at school, I'm using this old 13" RCA TV from circa 1988, making it a year older than me. I'll post pictures later.

[gnuman]

I got coleco vision, old computers, 5.25" floppy drives and other old stuff like an Adlib sound card, SIPP memory,

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

I've got a mac plus and a few old Commodore 64's

And one of these.

There's also a Tandy TRS-80 sitting around somewhere, but that doesn't count (not mine, and it's rusted out inside)
