Pictures of the Commodore PC 10-III (warning modem users!)

It's after 1 in the morning so these pictures arent great, but I wanted to post something because I got a kick out of booting up this old computer.

Brings back memories of the old 1000SX!

What'd CBM have for graphics/sound on their line?

(As a kid, I never understood why people hated clones so much... Then I realized not every one came with 16 color video or three-voice sound.  :-o )

This has a Hercules gfx card.

GFX: 720 x 348 pix, 80 x 25 chr - monochrome

Sound: PC speaker for beeps

I hated PCs back then, sort of. There was the platform wars back then and i was firmly in the C= (64-amiga) camp. However I still played with PCs. Heck i played with every computer I could get my hands on:-)

Geh, what a POS  :-P

Bet it'd look much better with one of those new AmigaOne motherboards in it 'tho!  :-D

[CodeSmith]

Uh-oh.  Why do I get the feeling you're shortly going to say you've got a couple dozen of these things for sale, just as soon as the chronoton radiation goes down to acceptable levels...  :-P

@redrumloa

Where do you find all this stuff?? I'd like to have one of them just for the case. It would make a great one for an Amiga One!

[whabang]

That's sweet! :-)

[shIva]

yeah, i remember this one :-) now if i see this, i can not understand, how such a system could get such a breakthrough.

Oh man, almost as bad as my K6-2 I stuffed into a first-gen PC case.  (not XT, not AT, PC)

[whabang]

LOL! I used to have a Pentuim MMX machine in my old 8086-case. :-D

[redrumloa]

These PC-10 use the same battery as big box Amigas, and of course so far they are all fuzzy :-x

I don't think there are motherboard damage yet, but yeesh. Luckily I have plenty of batteries :-)

[downix]

You know this is getting very tempting.... wife will kill me...
