LGR - Opening Stuff You Sent Me! September 2017

Vintage computer hardware, oddware, PC games, electronics, and just lots of neat stuff. Fantastic as always, thank you to everyone :) Background music is "Uptown Bossa" by Johan Hynynen.

These two netbook-like things look really cool... I'm trying for a year or more now to catch up with your videos, watching through all but the thrift and let's play ones one by one from the very beginning. I've reached the one where you installed the cache to the wood grain 486. When I catch up I will probably watch the thrifts as well though this will just make me feel bad for not having this kind of shops around here. Hehe.

This is the only thing that might be relatively relevant to the Ultra computer but seems to be a bit new from what I'm seeing on the website. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19990315000000*/www.ultra.co.nz" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/19990315000000*/www.ultra.co.nz</a> really interested in seeing and finding out more about it as I love odd computers

<a href="http://lbtforum.ru/showthread.php?p=10053" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://lbtforum.ru/showthread.php?p=10053</a> Starting to wonder if this was a soviet/russian clone business at the time. Either way pretty cool. Seems to have a Cyrix CX486SLC-33, 1MB RAM and 120MB HDD with a 1.44MB FDD. everything I find is on russian site/forums. So maybe not related to the first link from new zealand.

Would you want an AMD 486 DX2 80mhz processor? I have one unused I can send you.

Careful with that styrofoam, it's my kryptonite ;) Ignition was released in Europe as "Funtracks". And it's on GOG! I prefer Death Rally as I beat my housemate at it every time :p

That's a 286 laptop! Not a 386! That model has been on my want-list for a while, but they tend to be pretty rare and expensive!

How DO I send things to you anyway? I wouldn't send much, but I have a BBS magazine you might like or some Mac system 7 software with manuals

The Yamaha DB50XG is a very capable MIDI board, on par with Roland, Korg, Turtle Beach, and others. I own two of its siblings, a Yamaha SW60XG and NEC XR385 (Yamaha DB60XG clone). <a href="https://i.imgur.com/KILTMMQ.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/KILTMMQ.png</a> <a href="https://i.imgur.com/nOo0dzg.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/nOo0dzg.png</a> Plug it into any sound card that has a wavetable header and give it a try Clint, no drivers needed. I'm sure you'll enjoy it :)

I think it's pronounced Can Opus but don't hold me to that. That's how we said it when I worked at a pc store many years ago.

I was actually considering sending one of those Acer modular keyboard things, but it wasn't in a box, and wasn't in quite that good a condition. Nice! Glad you got a good one. :)

It's probably *incredibly* out of date, but might want to blank that credit card number on the Z81 invoice, back then they printed the whole thing!

I think the _weirdest_ graphics card I've owned was a from Number 9 / revolution. Had some really weird chip in it. In college I had a bunch of weird old workstation stuff, because I went to an engineering school and you could scrounge the old stuff (Sun towers, some PC &amp; SGI systems)

My mom just retired her 21" flat CRT Trinitron. The thing was a workhorse, so hopefully you'll get some good use out of it Clint.

I'm just saying between you and David 8-Bit having too many donations, I'll gladly accept some on y'alls behalf.

I'm not really looking for either thing you mentioned, but as for sending things it's on a per-person basis. People just send me emails and we discuss whether or not it's something I need and go from there!
