While anything north of New York City is considered upstate, the real upstate is the North Country, I am 60 miles south of Montreal. It's nice to be here, I've spent a lot of time over on the VCF Forums; especially before they were VCF. :)

Hello from the North Country; Lyon Mountain & Plattsburgh.

Looking for IBM Aptiva Stealth Series with matching 15" or 17" multimedia monitor (MM55) or (MM75); preferably 2159 or 2162.

@Bryce They are that hard to find, almost impossible. We've even taken to start looking at IBM PC's and XT's on eBay just to see if one might be installed and the seller is unaware of it. There are a few people over on VCF that have two cards, one in production the other one as a spare, and...

\ @Peter That is one very good recommendation. @Zetr0 & Bryce If there is anything you need/want please bring it to my attention and I look forward to working with everyone on this project.

10 max. Edit: Although if there is a minimum, I guess since we want/need this functionality bad enough we'd have to go for it.

@Zetr0 The people over at VCF who are dying for this would prefer completed cards but beggars cannot be choosers so anyway is better than no way. There is a gentlemen over at VCF by the name of Sergey (that's his handle) who also can contribute and I'm trying to connect all the people together...

This should be what you are looking for: * An eBay sourced photo of the extender card is at [here]. * The circuit diagram of the card is on pages 18 to 20 (PDF pages 22 to 24) of the document at [here]. * Card dimensions are per page 1-35 (PDF page 54) of the document at [here]. The extender...

If you really live in Raleigh you live close to the new heart of what was once IBM's PC operations. Lenovo has it now, but the operation and design center is in Morrisville. :) Although the old stuff was all done down in Boca Raton, FL.

@Bryce, I believe I have posted what you've asked for in an answer to Zetr0, pending moderators approval of course.

First computer was a Commodore 64C, 1701 Display, dual 1541-II drives. First console was NES 8-Bit.

I'm looking to solicit the work of a designer or engineer who can help me design and get to fabrication a replica IBM Expansion Unit Extender Card. There is a group of people who would buy them (mostly on the vintage-computer.com forum). I understand these sort of tasks are not quick and/or...

I just recently acquired an IBM PC Expansion Unit. It has two hard disk drives in it among some other cards. It has the dust cover. It came with the cable, but of course I do not have the extender card that sits in the PC itself. What I am looking for is either one of two things: 1...

Good Morning, Day, Afternoon or Evening, I'm new, obviously, and it was suggested that I stop here and say hello. My name is Daniel, I'm a network engineer for two Catholic schools and my retro hobby is collecting stuff for the IBM PC, XT, or the AT which I affectionately call System/1...
