New Retro Computing Magazine!! — #9

I can say with some degree of certainty that we won't be doing paper reprints – it's just too labour intensive to print off one or two copies at a time. Number 2 is coming along n…

PDF for the back issues would be cool. Of course I would love a paper version of issue 2 so when it's ready I will cue up for a copy.

Symbolics Macivory Quadra 650? — #6

They really are quite rare. But this auction was asking too much. 500$-1k$ would be too much for me, but for a complete setup a more reasonable price to ask. Consider that once the…

WGS 9150, are they rare? — #15

If you must have PPC and more then 3 Nubus slots a 950 with a Daystar upgrade is the easier to get (then you get 4 free Nubus slots). I did this for my AVID systems. A 9150 would b…
