I've made a little bit of progress with my retro inventory! We can now see the top of the desk 😂. Let's talk about what I unburied in a 🧵 here.

First, I picked the low hanging fruit and took care of these keyboards and a new old stock mouse. That poor Microsoft Natural Keyboard is looking a little yellow. I debated keeping the Compaq keyboard, but it made the cut for now. Yes... I'll be purging/rehoming a bit as I go.

Next, it was hard drives and opticals. I love having "smaller" hard drives where I can. They all made the cut, plus a few bonus ones. The Compaq 40X CD-ROM will be rehomed! The Zip optical is cool, and the Plextor is magnificent. The others get the job done too.

Next we have some ATX power supplies. I'll be keeping these! Love how the one on the left is new old stock!

I also have this PCjr Kraft joystick. The "lock" mechanism is missing for both axes, but I imagine it works. If someone wants it, I'd part ways with it, just pay shipping. But I am keeping the Tandy Deluxe Joystick box that it is currently in 😂.

I have some spare memory for my PC Convertible! I have a 256KB and 128KB module. Good to have around!

I have the "internal" 20MB Bernoulli drive from the Bernoulli saga. It's in an external enclosure for now. Not sure why I have kept this to be honest 😂.

I have my US Robotics 56K modem too! I do use it from time to time!

I have a fair number of serial and PS/2 mice. Love the Radio Shack one that is new in package. As for the IntelliMouse Explorer mice, I'll never part with them! The Compaq mouse and blue mouse didn't make the cut, they are up for grabs!

I have this goofy Pentium motherboard with a Pentium 133 MHz processor. All ISA slots. It probably needs a recap, it's not stable. I also have a 386SX motherboard that runs at 33 MHz (40 MHz CPU, but has a slower crystal). If someone wanted these, I'd send them packing.

I decided not to inventory my CF/SD, etc. converters. Anyone need a Raspberry Pi Pico with headers? I'll send it to you if you pay shipping 😂

I love this new old stock ISA Multi I/O card. I think I will hold onto it for now. It's a KW-557 apparently. Oh, wow, it has a page on the The Retro Web! theretroweb.com/expansioncards…

Anyway, that's all for now. If you want something that I mentioned that is on the chopping block and are willing to pay shipping, I'll send it to you! Thanks for reading along!

@threadreaderapp unroll if you are back.
