So many not so happy memories of this machine! Teaching myself computer science end of the 80s! I was spoiled as my father had it for professional use; had the 20mb HDD and it may have been as much as 8MB of RAM, but I might be wrong on that. Nice clean machine there. love to see it.
That Juke Box app is so cool. I installed it on a 386sx I acquired recently, with a Sound Blaster clone sound card that I put in it. There’s something so soothing about the primitive audio that it makes.
A very interesting retro pc. I like the trackball, too, but you didnt mentioned anything about it. And a nice new location, that retro corner. But I think the lighting in the basement was better. The mustache is cool, too.
Thanks! Yeah, the mouse is pretty sweet, but it wasn't really related to the system in terms of brand, so I didn't mention it. It's just a standard Mouse Systems serial trackball. Lol, the irony is that I WAS in the basement, just in another room 🤣 thanks for the compliment on the 'stach too! I just wanted to try something new lol
Hi. Could you please measure the rotating stand for IBM 8512 monitor? I'm making a 3D model of it but I can't find its dimensions and there are not many people who still have this monitor with the stand. Thanks for any help!
@@J-Tech95 That would be great! The most needed dimensions are the length, width, height of the bottom base and the diameter and the height of the cyllinder that stands on the base. Also the offset of the rotation axis from the front side may be useful. If you have more time, I've made a photo that shows more dimensions and their names to avoid confusion: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mPxzbtVRzI0.html . I found only a few photos of this stand in internet. If you could make more photos of the stand from different sides and share them, that would be extremely cool! I've read that early 8512 were sold without this stand and the stand was sold separately as an optional part, this is why there are so many monitors without this stand, and you are pretty much lucky to be the one who saved one monitor with a stand!
@@J-Tech95 I've sent an email to you a couple days ago but there is no answer. Maybe it got to the sp@m folder? I used model 30 286 till the beginning of this century. I found that it's not possible to upgrade it because of the proprietary interfaces, so I had to say goodbye to it and bought some noname 486 system... which became outdated even faster than 286 :) But I still have warm feelings to Model 30 286 because it was my first computer and it helped me to learn DOS, Turbo Pascal and other useful stuff... I still like the way it looks, it looks rather neat in comparison with the ugly vertical boxes that became popular in the 2000s.
