  1. 80GB Seagate SCSI 3.5" inside of a Trumpcard 500 with the optional 2MB RAM expansion. Purchased for my Amiga 500 in late 1989/early 1990. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but it was extremely expensive at the time.
  2. I have several eight outlet ISOBAR's, a couple of which are 25+ years old, and have never had any problems with them.
  3. My dad worked at GTE (and for a couple years, Verizon, which bought them) for 34 years. I vaguely remember seeing the GTE/Sylvania Intellivision offered in the Lakewood, CA employee store, but we never bought one. We did buy our TI-99/4A there along with at least two Sylvania branded TV's and a few phones.
  4. My dad bought a //e in 1983 as a means of working remotely without having to make a 250 mile round trip drive once or twice a week. I wasn't really allowed to use it (I had a TI-99/4A, VIC-20, and C-64 at the time) but I remember playing Zork I on it occasionally. When the company bought him an IBM PC in 1986, he basically gave me the Apple //e, which I still have to this day: non-enhanced, 128k RAM/80 column card, DuoDrive, Apple Personal Modem, Imagewriter I printer, and an Apple monochrome monitor. All but the monitor (which kicked the bucket in the mid-90's) still works to this day.
  5. Out of the roughly 500 5.25" disks I have, less than 10 of them have become unreadable over the years. And all but one or two of the disks that have gone bad were commercially released disks. The NOS Maxell and 3M 5.25" disks I bought in the early 2000's have all worked without issues as I've been opening and using them.
  6. Zork I Zork II Planetfall Infidel I recently retrieved all of my old boxed C64 software, including Zork III and Suspended, which I never finished BITD. I'd like to finally finish them sometime this summer.
  7. One bump before I buy a 3D printer and attempt to make one myself.
  8. WTB: a 3D printed Atarimax SIO2PC serial case. Will pay for time, shipping, and materials. If you can do this please send me a message. Thanks!
