As Peter astutely notes “Again, computers are computers and it could be made to work, but it would be a bigger challenge.” Sheeeesh – computers - wadda ya expect from a box reconstituted silicon sand – unless your Cray laptop is using gallium arsenide. The computer “no man’s land” tweener years are about 30 years after manufacture. That time period when all the decent salvage vehicles have been stripped and the parts scroungers have hit every North American dealership, have spread to Central and South America while an equally driven group goes thru every Euro dealer looking for OEM electronic parts. When the source dries up - silence. Silence until someone wakes up one mourning (sic) and rhetorically asks themselves “heyyyy – there’s a market out there for mid 80’s gizmos for that early FI Bosch stuff and cruise controllers.” Then they set themselves to fixing, correctly, the old stuff. Just like 1960 Sony 6 transistor radios with dried up capacitors and broken cold solder joints. So along with your Lincoln wheat penny collection and Persian rugs – keep those tweener year Ferraris – the market with new parts shall rise again. Really Doug |
