EDIT: It has found a home.

Free to a good home: One Hewlett Packard C2262A Storage System with seven SCSI drive bays. Two are currently populated by hard drives, one by a caddy-loading CD reader, and one by a tape drive. The faceplate of the CD reader had been held on by masking tape. 💿

Picked up a 2nd hand tape player for the #ZXSpectrum (Sony TCM-939). It did manage to load some tapes, but the volume slider seems pretty crackley. I'm assuming some dirt or corrosion on the slider contact, does anyone know if , it's possible/easy to clean before I go investigating? #RetroComputing #TapeDrive #CasetteTapes #electronics

A number of years ago, I did some fun vector art minimal wallpapers featuring retro hardware. I haven't posted them in a while, so please enjoy this TI SR-51, a PDP8-e, a trio of IBM 2401 drives, and a VAX11/780.

Please feel free to use and share these freely (though please also provide attribution if you do!)

The number of times yearly that I regret giving away my 5.25" floppy drive or my QIC tape drive to electronic recycling is NONZERO.
