If that black case came with it, that's super cool!  It looks like it had two network cards too in addition to a video card.  I wonder if those were working or not and if they were ISA or some other bus.

Bae, in Australia we just enjoy the pictures as postage would mean not going food shopping for a year.

Usually they are listed for around $175-200 USD, a great deal would be $100 or less for the full unit in either working or non working condition - most people buy these just for the keyboard.

If you want just the keyboard, try searching around for Cherry G80-1813 (as this is the model # for the keyboard with the PAC) on taobao or elsewhere for significantly less than the full console. Otherwise, RIP wallet for shipping...

I think the later PACs run on a special version of Windows NT, not sure about the older ones.

Wow, I want the whole thing to play around on, I love vintage things ^_^

Man, I as on Taobao last night trying to buy a G80-3700 but got scared and backed out :( Need to get one of my Asian friends to help D:

Don't think the PAC is gonna be a possible buy for me anytime soon unfortunately :( too $$$$


Thanks for the insight dude :D

I would love this too as I enjoy the vintage stuff that I couldn't dream of back then (the Dolch was a $12k usd computer).

The only problem is that it seems everyone selling the Dolch seems to wipe them clean. :(  But there is a good following to these so the original software/OS is available to put back on a working piece of hardware.  :thumb:

Wow, I would have imagined these to be more expensive then O_o they must be relics!

Do you know of any other cool consoles? Or vintage PC's that are relatively affordable? Is there anything that exists with those green tube displays (Like that on an Oscilloscope?)
Always wanted one of those.

Was looking at trying to find some tubes to hook up to Arduino like so:
