The manual.

"Portable" Computers of the 80's

The Osbourne was the first portable computer, with a built-in keyboard, monitor, and power supply. It has a 4mhz processor, and 64k ram. This is an Osbourne 1(rev 1.43), it seems to function fine, but there's no boot disk, so testing remains to be done.
Boot Message:
The Kaypro series eventually superseded the Osbournes, and took over the portable computer market. This is a Kaypro II on boot screen, waiting for a boot disk.
Here is the Kaypro II again folded up.
Damn, these are old, clunky, and slow. Especially compared to modern laptops and computers.

Ultrasound Machine

This is an ultrasound machine. It is unknown whether it works or not, but all the pieces are here, it seems. What should be done about it? I don't plan on delivering any babies in the foreseeable future, so a whole machine isn't useful. Any ideas on repurposing it? Or about the functionality of the components?

Antique Radios

To add to the post on old TV's, its time for a post on old radios. There are two, an RCA Victor made out of Bakelite, and a mystery radio.

Mystery Radio: Seen this before?

Old TV's

There's quite a few old TV's here, not sure on their age(s). There are two Zeniths and an RCA Victor.

Radio Equipment

There's a lot of radio equipment lying around, and there is a lot more buried somewhere. There's a gpr-90 reciever, a Collins 75a-1 reciever, and a Panasonic rf-4900.

Oscilloscopes

A shelf of oscilloscopes have been gathering some serious dust. One or two of them are Heathkits. There's a couple old TV's, a vectorscope, and a multimeter or two (including a simpson), as well. Here's another close-up pic of a couple oscilloscopes:

Hewlett Packard 85

This is a picture of a functioning HP 85. The self-test runs, and basic programs run fine. No tape in the drive. It has 16k ram, and a .6mhz processor. Below is the back end , with a rom and a ram cartridge visible.

1st post!

It Ain't Dead Yet is a blog for showcasing new and/or unusual pieces of technology, identifying them, and finding their values (historical value/practical use/$ value). There will be many pieces of unidentified technology showcased here, so feel free to comment about their values/uses. All of the technology here was donated/recycled to the ACCRC, and once it has been identified and discussed, it will donated to a museum, put to use somehow, or be sold. Anyone with ideas about how putting this stuff to good use please leave a comment.
