Forum Announcements
06 May 2014
As the various interests of the site seem to be expanding, we are adding new areas of discussion to the forum area. Experimental Hardware - which will cover many projects using newer items (not vintage PC subjects) and items that are more removed from computers. Software Defined Radio (SDR) and project boards, developing custom smart chip projects and such. The second area will likely be more close to home for most PC folks, as it deals with COMPUTER REPAIRS. If you have questions about a computer repair issue - this is the area for you! Also if you have repair suggestions, tips and such. Those who feel ambitious enough to do a repair and take pictures to make a guide - let us know and perhaps we can share it on the article area in the main site so that more people will benefit from your efforts. Working together we can all help others, and possible learn a bit as we go.

Early Small Computers 1 topicBefore there were IBM-PCs, there were a interesting handful of brands with diverse operating systems and hardware. From simple cassette or cartridge programs that plugged in, to bigger systems with hard drives and multi-user operating systems. Generally these were started before the mid 1980s and this category is not for larger mainframe or mini-computers from IBM Burroughs, Sperry and the like.
