The last Compaq luggable PC - Network General Sniffer computer - Try and test
I got this cool portable computer from the beginning of the 90's. It's branded as "Network General Sniffer". PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=481573 - great quality PCBs from just $5! In fact it is a Compaq luggable PC. The last one they made apparently. It is a 486 with 8 Mb RAM and 200 Mb HD.
In unknown state. Lets see if it works and what we can do with it. It also needs a bit of cleaning.
In this video I do some restoration work on a Commodore Amiga A600 computer. I do a full clean and retrobright. Then my first attempt of recapping surface-mount can capacitors. This did not go as planned, but I think I recovered it well and the result came out good at last.

I took a new look at the WiC 64 module for the C64 to see if anything had changed.
I also made a modified WiC64 kernal rom for the C64 C.
The WiC64 is a module for the C64, VIC20 and C128 user port that makes it possible to connect the old 8-bit computers to the internet via WiFi.
I made a video about this last year, but now I wanted to see what was new with the solution.
Check out the old video: https://youtu.be/HL1O0eFA-IA
This is much more than just using BBS's. There are actual online services that can be used, and you can load games and demos directly from the internet.
Included is a kind of internet portal that has a lot of features and also has the possibility to use Google Maps and even Street View on the C64.

I just got this beautiful brand new prototype motherboard for a Commodore 64C.
My fellow Norwegian retro computer and electronics YouTuber https://www.youtube.com/@bwack just recently finished his work on a Commodore C64C 250469 Rev 4 motherboard replica.
I was soo lucky to get one of the two existing prototypes made by PCBWay. And what a great looking motherboard!!
This is the special unboxing video for that. This is a teaser for some upcoming videos where I will attempt to build a complete Commodore C64C from this board.

In this video I examine a great looking Commodore Amiga CD32 - the Amiga 1200-based games console.
It is in good condition, so I just do a bit of teardown and cleaning. Then testing some games of course. And show how to burn a downloaded game to CD-R.

In this video I do a walkthrough of a nice Sanyo Wavy 23 MSX2 computer from the 80's.
Also some diagnostics testing and some games of course.
It's a Japanese 100 volts system with lots of equipment. Cassette recorder, floppy drive, games cartridges, joystick. I tear it all apart to clean everything up as I go.

It's a model PHC-23J machine with an external Panasonic floppy drive and a special tape cassette recorder.

WILL IT WORK?
Part 5 and last part of the series of building a new Commodore 64 based on the C64 rev KU-14194hb motherboard replica made by bwack.
In this video I build the RF-modulator replacement from a kit I received.
Then it is time to start testing the voltages on the motherboard before the final moment of truth.
Will the machine power on and produce the familiar blue Commodore basic image ??
