  1. Today, my latest purchase, a toshiba t1000xe laptop, arrived. The device is in good shape, but the Conner harddisk drive is not!
    Something is leaking from it - and it's not data 🫠I just learned, this is the (now liquified) sealing between the upper and lower part of the disk.. a common problem with those drives.

  4. Just arrived from Texas - Papertape!

    The rolls are complete and undamaged, but unfortunately I don't know what they were used for or what is stored on them.
    Nevertheless it's a certain satisfaction to see the individual bits.

    "eBay International Shipping" is a rabbithole 🤠 🙂‍↕️

  5. No collection is complete without a core memory module. In my case from a Saratov-2 computer manufactured in the USSR.

    The individual rings are smaller than the head of a pin, amazing!

    As soon as I have a macro lens for my camera, I will take new photos. Additionally I'll add something for scale...

  6. @xenenic great you got the laptop working!

    I bought a #T1000 some time ago, but someone tried to fix the leaking caps and corroded traces, without luck. That's probably why it was so cheap..

  7. @ne1for23 If you want to get your old #DOS machine online, look for #mTCP from brutmanlabs.org. It comes with a couple of programs to get you started (eg IRC, FTP, webserver, Netcat, ...)

    I find it very appropriate to have this site hosted on a retro machine using the mTCP software 👌

  8. As autoexec.bat and config.sys are configured on the Toshiba T1000SE Laptop, I'm focusing on the internet connection. So I can find out what the big deal with this #bbs thing is 😎

    My approach is to use a linux machine as a bridge to the network. The Toshiba is connected to it with a null modem cable.

    On the software side #mTcp is handling the connectivity using a virtual ethernet card (etherslip). But more on that later...

    At this time the serial connection is not set up correctly, so I have some debugging to do 🔍

  9. Let's put the Toshiba T1000SE Laptop to the test, with a classic flightsim of the early nineties.

    I think I should make a video to convey the feeling (slow display, flat sound). But hey, it's working and bringing back some good memories!

  14. It's time to fire the Toshiba T1000SE Laptop up for the first time..

    ..and it's working perfectly!

    Display, keyboard, ROM, etc.. all good 😎

    Next I'd like to focus on the main- and resume-battery, but some parts are stuck in transit.

  15. Recapping of the Toshiba T1000SE Laptop is finished and all the other electronic components are looking good 💻🚀

    The list of replacement-capacitors I used*:
    10v 220uf - 2x -> Panasonic EEUFM1A221
    10v 1800uf - 2x -> Panasonic EEUFR1A182B
    16v 120uf - 1x -> Panasonic EEUFS1C121
    16v 1200uf - 1x -> Panasonic EEUFS1C122
    25v 10uf - 2x -> Panasonic EEAFC1E100
    25v 220uf - 1x -> Panasonic EEUFR1E221
    25v 470uf - 2x -> Panasonic EEUEB1E471

  16. End of last year i bought a Toshiba T1000SE, a 30 year old Laptop. It came in it's original box, complete with all parts and few signs of usage, wow! Of course, all batteries(3) are dead and you can't run it without the main battery pack.

    Hopefully i'll get the machine back to life.

    Quick-Specs:
    9.54MHz CPU
    640KB RAM (conventional)
    384KB Hard-RAM
    Toshiba MS-DOS 3.30 (in 512K ROM) OS
    3.5" 1.44 MB Floppy

    Next up: Take it apart and check for leaking capacitors/batteries.
