Prior to the Model II Archive and floppy disk emulation being ubiquitous, very little software or info was available for these systems, and finding knowledge was difficult. But with the many changes in recent years, new hardware, emulators, and software are available, and a whole community has formed. The systems have become much more accessible to hobbyists. I’ll go over my time with these systems, the community, and what it’s like being new to systems that are “new” to the larger retro computing enthusiast.

How can we diagnose some of the most common, simple problems holding back our hardware from working "right" or working at all! Just like now, companies were trying to find every way they could to bring their products cheaper. This resulted in static-y audio, chipset hiccups, fuzziness on the monitor, and color that couldn't be fixed. Often, those things too can be addressed for pennies! Stacy gives the vintage hacker kit of what to do where and how to fix loads of issues and keep your systems running for a few more decades.
