Welcome to my evergrowing collection of computers, parts, accessories, and other stuff that I found interesting. Most of this stuff came from donations. I have a hard time turning down stuff that's free. Free stuff somehow always seems to find me.

Most of this stuff has been stored away not doing anyone any good. On a whim I decided to put all this stuff on the web and include any details that I remember about the items. I thought that this site might be useful for anyone interested in the roots of modern machines. I'm sure there are lots of people out there that have no idea what Drive Rails were for... Or this Punch that enabled the other side of a 5.25" disk be used in a single sided drive. Below are links to some of the complete systems that I have with photos and information. On the left are links to individual components by category as well as a link to the information section. I try my best to keep the information here as accurate as possible. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to Email Me
