PacMan Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I just received an A810 that I got from ebay. On the outside it's in fair condition, a little yellow from the sun but otherwise in good condition. On the inside however it looks completely brand new. There is not a spec of dust in there and the drive doesn't show any sign of wear. I'm totally amazed to find equipment in this good condition after 20+ years. Yipiii. /P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybernoid Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 They certainly don't make 'em like they use to! --C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 They certainly don't make 'em like they use to!968026[/snapback] Amen, I got my 400 today. It has this upgrade on the underside with "Intec Peripherals Corp". It could also run Ultima 4.(so there must be a ram upgrade). There is also a switch in the Cartridge port. I have flipped the switch and it does not seem to do any thing. What could need a switch? an OS? Keyboard needs some cleaning of the contacts. I will get shots of the insides when I open her up for that. I will then be able to see what that switch is for. I finally got an 800 last month and both of these systems are built like tanks! I had sold my 400 and got this 400. (that was my first computer ever!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I suspect that the Intec board is a 32K RAM upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Wait a minute, this obviously has a keyboard upgrade, maybe that is part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 My 800 and both my 810's were in pristine condition on the inside also, when I got them. I think it's a combination of the fact that they were built like tanks which didn't allow nearly as much dust to get inside, and/or just a lack of actual use, but some yellowing becuase they sat on a desktop for years without being used much (actually my 800 and one of my 810's doesn't even have yellowing on the case).

I am posting new pics in a new message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
