    From Bo Holt@1:129/305 to All on Sun Nov 8 12:06:26 2026
    Good morning!

    I'm building a pre-Win95 dream machine and have started a video series about it. youtube.com/bollingholt

    If you like that sort of thing, I hope you check it out and enjoy it!

    Very cool - watched the AT&T 6300 video, loved those computers. Weren't
    they 8086-based?

    I worked at a company that had a ton of old crap in 1991-1992, I was
    able to take home a Compaq Portable, an AT&T 6300 and a couple of IBM
    ATs. One of them ended up being the first iteration of my BBS...

    Unfortunately, all of them got tossed or given out at one time or
    another. The only thing that I still have from back then is an IBM
    Model M keyboard.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it is. I have two of them now, but I think they both have power supply issues. They are both extremely clean though. I had one given to me as a kid ('91/'92) but had the color display. Speaking of things that were tossed :( I have been working to rebuild my entire childhood collection, and I think I'm only missing an Amstrad PC1512DD. I'd love an IBM AT. One of these days... I've already got quite a collection, but there is always room for more!
