  1. Good job, please continue posting when news are available 😀
  2. Really nice, I was about to order it time ago but customs in Spain are expensive and sending from the USA also.
  3. Mine was a Commodore 64 but my parents get a Sinclair Spectrum 🫢 Now that I'm old a have a retro-collection with both, as well as more than 20 more retrocomputers 😃
  4. It's a good idea, but what's about the dust ?
  5. Yeah, but obviously most of them required upgrades and repairs..
  6. Usually I always discard the metallic shield from the retro-computers that I have (Commodore64, VIC-20, Texas Instruments TI-99/A, Atari 1040, Amiga 500 ,etc..) and I never have had any problem. Indeed, the electronic components inside "breath" better.
  7. There are some units missing in the pictures (Amiga 500, Atari STe 1040, Apple IIc, V-TEch Laser 200, Dell 486, etc..) The ones over the table are ready to work by pressing the ON button. The other ones are in the cupboard waiting to have for more space in the room... One day I'll upgrade the pictures with the whole collection, is one of the tasks in my "to do" list.
  8. Finally found at eBay Germany. It's the OMRON B3F-4055 model.
  9. Hi, my 1040STf STM1 mouse started to fail. When I press the left button sometimes is not detected. Instead of try to clean the contacts, I prefer to replace the button by a new one (old stock I guess..) Someone knows where can I find this button in the UE (European Union) ? Thank you!
  10. Many thanks for your quick response but finally I found my mistake: I was dragging and dropping the files from the Windows explorer. If I do the same but using the ADF Opus explorer the files are correctly copied into the ADF image.
  11. I'm trying to create an empty ADF file and copy a file inside to read these file in my Gotek but I'm not able. I installed ADF Opus in Windows XP Home and Windows 11 Home but when I try to drag a file inside the ADF from the Windows Explorer I always get the message "adfDevTYpe:unknown device type". If I run ADF Opus as Administrator I don't get the error message but the file is not copied into the ADF file, it remains empty. What can I do?
  12. I own this Apple IIc-VGA converter and it works like a charm. http://www.a2heaven.com/webshop/index.php?rt=product/product&path=73&product_id=135
  13. It seems to be an audio or video editing controller. Which kind of connectors are in the back?
  14. There are times in life when you have unexpected surprises and today has been one of those days. Two months ago a guy from New York who had seen this post contacted me and told me that he had two Casio FX-9000P original manuals that he could give me for free. Initially I thanked him and told him that I already had a copy of the originals and that the shipping and custom fees from USA to Catalonia would be very expensive for me. He answered me saying that he will pay the shipment which was around $20 (I had calculated more than $90). Obviously I told him that in this case I'll pay the shipment, but he refused and said that it will be a gift. Well, today I received the package with a kind note, and in addition to the two manuals he sent me a 16-K RAM cartridge and a 4-K RAM cartridge for the FX-9000P 😮 The only 4K cartridge that I have I nearly paid an arm and a leg for it, but it was the only way to turn on the FX-9000P because otherwise wouldn't start without it... Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!
