i just saw an old post here: Most "Antique" Drive From The Claws Of Time

and i wanted to add my own HDD`s here

i can say: Back from Death again



when i look @ those drives i remember:

My X-70y GF when she used to say: OLD IS GOLD

I swear, i have a Fax Modem 1200BR, well now we call it Fax Modem, Internal PCI or maybe old ISA older

but have you ever seen any Modem i call it Modem because it looks like a Satellite Receiver
connect power to it from outside, and Serial Cable to PC and Connect dial-up

back from 1992 i think when i bought it, i still have it, and really feel so stupid to through it away
maybe one day i will sell it in eBay or Amazon :lol:

if u see it, Oooh u will know how to compare DSL/Fiber whatever internet we are using with before.

:roll:

It's always interesting to see 'pieces of history' especially if they are still working!

Also a zx80 spectrum, Apple II, and a bunch of other old microcomputers...

Loool... Zx 80... Black and white output on tv generated by the z80 itself... when pressing a key the screen jumped a bit because of interrupt. Was it?
