Not sure if I experienced it firsthand or if I saw it in a magazine somewhere. Most of my crashes, fortunately, went to MacsBug where I was able to save work in other apps before restarting. I have experienced the "Chimes of Doom/Death" first hand a few times. I clearly remember the first time, probably 1996, if I had to guess. I had just restarted my IIsi and I looked down at a book I was reading when it happened. I almost fell out of my chair it shocked me so much! I hard reset it and it started up fine. Much later, it started happening with regularity. I finally determined that it was a failing HD. I replaced it and it never happened again.

Mord Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Just noticed this today... I don't own any classic computers as of yet (too much stuff to hook up), but now there's a forum where I can discuss the quirkiness that was our old Franklin Ace 1200. I don't own any classic computers at present, although grew up with a Tandy 1000 SL/2, if that counts. Mostly used the deskmate applications, various TSR D&D games, gw-basic and qbasic, and some of the old Sierra Quest games. When I was in Uni, I briefly owned a Tandy 1000 HX... which made for a great text editor and paperweight. Although I did do some gw-basic programming on that as well.

In trying to work around Apple's Copyright they ended up making a DOS that was faster than Apple's. I have an Ace 1000 and it's built like a tank. Better power supply, better cooling, better keyboard, built in language card, etc... Apple started including a check in their DOS so it wouldn't run on non-Apple machines. All you had to do was replace the ROMs and it couldn't tell the difference. Didn't the Franklin bootstrap the ROM contents and all you had to do was put the ROMs on disk? Something like that anyway.

So far I've been doing well with those guidelines...well, except for the Mac Classic, but that was a matter of life and death (for the Mac at least). I haven't had much trouble acquiring the computers I wanted "back in the day" (though, there a some that have proved elusive), it's the finding real-world uses for all of them. Not to mention space to set them up. Unfortunately, a number of mine have quit working over the years, most likely due to failing capacitors. Still, I'd much rather have them on display and work on them when I get time, than to have them tossed out or recycled.

Bruce Tomlin Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Since we're comparing, uh, "storage size", let's see what I can remember off the top of my head: * TRS-80 Model 1 (my original computer) * (I got rid of what Model IIIs I had years ago) * TRS-80 Model 4 (though I've had troubles getting them working, including gassing a green screen CRT once when trying to put the lid on the damn thing, thank you Tandy for the crappy design, and at least one that has raster but no video signal - and I am not caring much since I ripped all my floppy disks) * TRS-80 Model 4P (they always need that stupid pot adjusted to sync 80 columns, but at least I have one with a low serial number) * TRS-80 Model 12 and 16 (I wanna get one of these babies up and running Unix someday, and I have a bunch of 8" floppies to rip if I ever get a cable to hook a drive to a Catweasel) * Apple IIgs (two complete units, one with a Vulcan HD and another with a SCSI card, both with 8M or so of RAM and Woz lids swapped from ROM-0 units) * Franklin Apple II clone, but the keyboard has foam pieces that have disintegrated * TI 99/4A, and I think I may even have a PEB lurking somewhere, but I don't know where * VIC-20 (one of two of them with the original box) * C-64 * C-128 * C-128D (two of them, and why I never fired up the other C-64/C-128s) * Aquarius (with some carts and the joystick module and I think I have a 16K module) * Spectravision SV-328 (or maybe it's a 318) * Atari 800, 600XL, 800XL, 1200XL, XEGS * Atari ST * Atari ST-030 (TT?) (re-cased for some musician application) * Heathkit H-8 and a dual floppy box for it, never powered either this or the H-11 * Heathkit H-11 (no floppy controller card, but manuals that indicated it had one once) * Zenith Z-19 (?) the one in a computer terminal case, and it has a floppy drive * Kaypro 10 (CP/M with HD) * Kaypro 16 (?) (their 8088 clone) * Osborne I (bad power supply - I got rid of all but one without testing that last one) * An Intergraph Unix workstation (freaking boat anchor) that used the Clipper chip * I also have an ADM-3A terminal in less than good condition, and it seems to have a raster but the digital electronics don't work ...and that's all I can think of right now I wouldn't mind getting rid of a few of these things, and will be happy to sell many of them if I don't have to ship anything, which essentially means we need freaking meet-ups/shows in Texas already. (All we have right now is a pin/coin-op thing in Houston) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Here's my collection of older (1999 and earlier) computers: Atari 400: 5200 gaming goodness without the 5200 controllers! Commodore 64: three power supplies and none of them seem to work AppleIIgs - Woz edition: no real use, except when I'm feeling nostalgic and want to run my old high school programming disk. Macintosh Classic: used for black & white System 6 gaming goodness. Macintosh Performa 6116CD (upgraded to 225MHz G3): used for scanning slides and negatives and as a bridge to the older computers. Runs older games like TIE Fighter rather well too! PowerMac G3 Blue&White (Revision 2, 1.1 GHz G3 upgrade): used for animation, illustrating, gaming, and Mac OS 9 development. PowerBook G3 300MHz (Wallstreet II/PDQ): will be used as a portable version of the Blue&White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 It's pretty slim pickins to be honest. I never took very good care of my old home computers, since they're of little use in this day and age and don't have the collector's value of game systems. I do have a Commodore Plus 4 in the box (WHY?!), some VIC-20s, a few Commodore 64s, and a couple of Apples my parents bought at a garage sale for a pittance. And oh yeah, there's a PowerMac of some sort too. I thought it was cute but I never did much with it past screwing around with the voice synthesis and playing a couple minutes of a graphic adventure starring furries... Inherit the Earth, I think.

retrozoneorg Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Doesn't anyone here like the Amstrad CPC's??? They were great and soooooo much better than the spectrum (before someone tries to kill me that was a joke!!!) In the UK we also had the Dragon 32 and Dragon 64 which were almost the same as the Tandy CoCo. It didn't do very well at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftermac Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Sweet! Now I can yak about Mac! Is Mac OS 9 classic enough? Sorry this forum requires System 7.1 (with Enabler 065) or earlier. Do I need an FPU? Can I connect to it using my Super Serial Card? For an optimal web browsing experience, I'd recommend installing a 68882 FPU... if you have a IIsi, the FPU/NuBus adapter and 10 Mb network card is a must! For proud IIci owners a cache card probably wouldn't hurt. Also, don't forget that some classic Mac's will need an AAUI adapter! All you non-expandable compact Mac owners will need either dial-up, a MacIP router (such as a Gatorbox... I have one!), or a SCSI-Ethernet adapter. Now if you want to use your Super Serial Card, you'll need to setup your Apple II as a terminal to a more modern computer. I run terminal software on my Apple IIe and hook it to my PowerMac with a Keyspan Serial-USB adapter, then run LYNX (which I had to install on the Mac) on the Apple IIe terminal. I have posted to AtariAge with the old forum software like this, but not since the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
