Time for the System Source Swap Meet pics I took... in no particular order. Let’s goooo! 🧵 time.
First we have an Amiga with some Macs, etc. Also, tons of interface cards. Some cool Apple stuff. And some IBM PCs!

More PCs, macs, laptops, and some software! The boxed copy of StuffIt Deluxe caught my eye!
**
One seller impressively had the original boxes for most of his stuff!

This commercial ISA card in the foreground is pretty neat, though I don’t know much about it!
**
It just keeps going and going! I found this briefcase tester(?) system to be neat. Apple IIC. And Atari Home Computer in box!

Memory, opticals, more laptops

This was one cool table... I am not a Commodore guy, but Amigas are cool, as is the SX-64 **
Bin of cards, some more opticals, A beige box hiding under the table too. LOL
**
So, I dug through this box of $1 cards and bought most of them 😂 **
This guy had some RARE cards. An original Sound Blaster. An ATI Mach64 VLB card too. And a SCSI VLB card (I should have bought it, but $40 was a little steep).
**
We’re almost done, I PROMISE. Here are the last of the swap meet pictures I too. The guy selling the Mac setup literally wanted single digits for it. Someone should have taken it home!!!
**
Tons of Mac laptops, and this Newton was cute!
**
I got to see my friends too! I didn’t get nearly enough pics with them though. But we do have @veeb0rg, @wrljet , @techknight2 and @torbar here!
Congrats, you made it to the end of the thread! Thanks for following along! @threadreaderapp unroll

It’s always fun to install “older” OSes on systems not designed for them. Given that, how about we install Windows ’98 SE on this Dell Latitude D600 with a Pentium M processor? Let’s have a look at it in a 🧵 here!
So, first and foremost, this site is AWESOME! There is a bundle of drivers that you can download, and inside the bundle is a readme file with some very clear instructions on what to do! retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2018/05/dell-l…
I kicked off the install, and not far into the process, we ran into an issue since this system has more than 512MB of memory. I had to add a line to system dot ini under the [386enh] section as you see here (MaxPhysPage=20000). After that change, install proceeded!

Let’s test a few things that I picked up at the DFW swap meet this weekend! We’ll use the trusty Dell Precision 220 Workstation as the test rig, along with Windows 2000. Time for a 🧵
So, first we’ll test the Diamond AGP card. It’s an OEM card, and after some searching, I THINK it is a Diamond Speedstar A200, with the S3 Savage4 PRO chipset. In it goes! And I lied, I used Windows XP to test this one, I forgot 😂. Anyway, it checks out ✅
Next, we have this card here, I think it’s an Nvidia card. Foolishly, I thought it was PCI, but it’s PCI Express. I have no use for this! It’ll go on the free table at the next event I attend, whatever that is!

Shopping Geekenspiel’s website is always a fun experience for me! I decided to put some of these stickers to immediate use! First, the Dell Precision 220 Workstation now has a proper Dual Pentium III sticker. I placed a few more too! 🧵
I had a Multimedia PC sticker on my 486DX4/100 before I swapped the case, I think! And now I have one again!
I covered up the “crack” on my Gateway 2000 Vivitron 15 monitor, but I might swap this out for a different sticker later that covers more area.
