I sure hope those disks still read.
They probably don't after 40+ years.
The one is dates 1982...
If by chance they do it be nice those programs are in fact on them.
The one disk I can't read as it is obstructed being on the bottom of the pile.
Word Star, Word Star w/ Mail Merge. C Basic, M Basic, Mona Math, and the one says "Tutor Bor's Work" <---maybe...
I think there might be an interface through which you can load software without the use of floppy disks but I'm not entirely sure.
the disks it comes with are single sided, double density which leads me to believe there probably are no add-on cards within.
That's okay though. -

2023-12-01 at 3:05 PM UTCGoodwill offered me a refund and a prepaid shipping label to return it.
I was hoping they'd let me keep it.
I dunno if I wanna send it back.
I'm going to open it up and try turning it on this weekend.
Unfortunately I have no boot disk... -

If it turns on I'll turn a profit.
My x486 arrived damaged because Zelensky is a bitch and he shipped it on the back of a donkey that fell down 3 mountains on it's way to me.
