Yes once you start #Retrocomputer collecting, it becomes an addiction. You start with novel ideas like " I'm only going to collect the machines I had when I was young" then you start buying the machines you wished you had , then buying the machines no-one had.
You either run out of money or space, abit like me.

We'll get yourself a little piece of nostalgia then. Even if it's a non worker your mad skills will have it running in no time. Maybe Josh @npub1q2x…jpej has a spare that needs a home.

#Septandy is happening!
It's the perfect excuse for me to repair my TRS80 Model 100 with a failed LCD controller chip.
Thanks to @npub1q2x…jpej for the spares which have been in the box of broken dreams for 2 years.

The TMS9900, the 16Bit CPU found in the Texas TI99 has 64 pins in a DIP package.
