    Fonaplats victim of incest [daylong jump-start that nome]



    Saw these beauties listed on marketplace a couple days ago.
    Advertised as working and asking $300 for both.
    This afternoon I lost my self control and reached out to the seller.
    I thought surely they'd be gone but to my astonishment they were both still there.
    It was going to be a 75 minute drive each way and I really didn't expect much so I shot a low ball offer of $200 for both and after a few minutes my offer was accepted and I was on my way to rescue them.

    The seller was really nice.
    She said they were in the upstairs of the house when they moved in 4 years prior and she even had a bunch of floppies.

    Do you have any old tin types of your set up from way back when?

    this is a secret trick the modern underground hardcore kklkkkids that record hacking software onto cassette or undergrouynd garage punk bands that KEEP IT REAL AND OG a brand new stack of vintage or factory sealed cassettes will run you about $49.99 USD for 12

    but you can go to a garbage sale and buy like 400 book on tape bibles for $10 with 100 cassettes and just put your own stickers over them EZ


    how much you want for all of them?

    i'm buying as many bulk cassettes as I can before they go to $20 each. And then i'm gonna sell my entire supply, build a cassette factory and laugh at all the idiots that bought from me and lost everything

    Thing is I think the OP was probably sober.

    The concept of buying something for $1 and selling it for $2 seems to be lost on a brainwashed sheep consumer like you

    TIL the "save" icon on most computers is a floppy (a relic of the past) but most zoomers of today assume it's a Gameboy Color. Because you "save" your game onto a Gameboy game directly

    Nice find, it's getting harder and harder to find vintage computer stuff in the wild, at least near me it is.

    It's also getting harder and harder to find a good quality stone axe or arrowhead.

    The 8088 clone boots right up.
    I have no idea what I'm doing or how to do what I'm not doing though.

    The 5150 seems to be haunted.
    Sometimes I flip the power on and it does nothing while other times it turns on.
    Then it either fucked up trying to post and gives me a "CHECK PARITY 2" error or it does nothing (with a boot disk)
    If I take the boot disk out it either does nothing or it posts and brings me to some screen idk what the fuck im doing.

    I know how to fix the error though.

    Imma start with that.

    I know the 5150 came from a grocery store and so did the monitor.

    Idk the background on the clone.

    CHECK PARITY 2" error = bad memory.

    Probably EDO ram
