found some old stuff

stuff that was already old when I got it.

I went over to where I have a storage building full of stuff I've hoarded and grabbed a few things to bring to the new building that I have different stuff I've hoarded.

I expect most of the stuff I got today might be of interest to internet nerds.

I guess I'll do this in list form.

OS/2 Warp version 3 installation 3.5" floppy disks.

I had opened it at one time, and the front of the box was missing and the OS installation floppies were unwrapped, but inside the box was another box that contained a "Bonus Pak" that was still sealed and various documentation and advertisements and stuff. Kind of entertaining. Making backups of all of these disks is on my todo list I guess. Although I think I found copies on archive.org so it won't be too sad if I don't.

IBM PC

a 5150 I think. has two 5.25" floppy drives... I just remembered I forgot the monitor. shit.

it might not be fucked, but it probably is.

I also forgot the keyboard.

I plugged it in and flipped the switch. no magic smoke, but it did have a kind of unhappy-sounding single long beep.

then I turned if off.

VCR

just a cheap DVD/VCR. hopefully it works and I can rip some VHS with it.

I plugged it in and it lit up, but none of the buttons appeared to do anything until I opened the DVD flap by hand, and smoke started to come out.

quickly unplugged that booger.
