I did not know that AutoCAD is a very vintage software.
Yep. Works on an 8088, but you'll definitely want the math co-processor upgrade.
When I used to work for autodesk we still kept the original floppies in storage.
AutoCAD 1.0 is for 1982
What the heck how he do work without mouse only keyboard
@@bluedip arrow keys, if you need to, but you can use the serial port to connect a mouse.
Dual floppy drives is so gangster😂
Tanto como los radiocasetes de doble pletina.
Like a cowboy with two colts 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂
My first computer, a Tandy 1000HX, has dual floppy drives.
@@BlackEpyon I guess I was just too young at the time (Born in the late 80s) and these "personal PC's/laptops" weren't around me much. Didn't know these portable models even existed until recently. But it makes sense that i never had one since i'll bet they cost a pretty penny back when they first came out.
The sound of this keyboard is magic
@@jmcs_LANDK I know right!? I've been drooling over the sound as well as the quality of the doubleshot/ tripleshot keycaps with multicolor legends on the top & front facing legends. Almost like a little portable Model M keeb
So is the key feel. It has Alps SKCM brown switches. They're very tactile, yet so smooth. It's definitely one of my favorite key switches.
It's actually sound of old keyboard
@@mistrotech8894 I had no idea this keyboard came with brown Alps, those are pretty uncommon.
Real future! That good old times when computers were created by engineers not managers
Lol
Wish computers would go back to this. The design aesthetics, the display, and especially the sound
No spyware, no ads, no constant bullshit updates, no social networks, just you and your work. I hear typewriters are popular with the kids now because of that.
@@TheNefastor You're completely right, I'm in highschool and typewriters are definitely pretty popular here... I use mine alot as well, an old Imperial 200
You can't be serious
Now its nothing but crap systems with a short life without any character… Not to mention nearly impossible to repair…
@@koiserenade get out of here there is no way
What amazes despite the computer, is that the boxes and everything inside is still intact.
What amazes me even more is he was the first to ever pull it out of the box. Still had the tape and protective styrofoam bits inside.
Quality of the keyboards of old computers looks awesome
Ah, the old times.
I got my first "computer", a ZX81 with 1k in 1982. Followed by a Sinclair ZX Spectrum with 16k upgraded quickly to 48k in 1983 :D
All these years have changed nothing.
Same thing first computer zx80 then a 286 and from that time we followed Moore`s law until recent years.
Sinclair 128k+2 🎉 the real one
@@davidpaiva7422 Nope, the "real one" was the 16k or 48k one. The 128k was a non often sold or used Spectrum, in a time its relevance fall to the bottom. Sad but true. Sinclair lost the chance to raise higher
ZX 82c here
beeeee...beep.
beeeee...brlrllrllrrlrlrlrl :)
Ahhhhhh the 80's... when computers weren't going to destroy you except in movies.
I’ve always loved the IBM PC series, I’m 14 so it’s kinda hard for me to get anything for it but my grandpa had an IBM PC Jr and a substantial amount of games and software for it.
When I was your age, I was playing with these machines as everybody was throwing them out in favour of 486s and Pentiums. Which is a good way to learn how to build and work with them. There's certainly a market for vintage computers, but it's often a hard hobby to get into.
My recommendation, since you didn't grow up with these machines as I did, is to install a copy of DOSBox or similar VMware on a modern machine, get used to working with DOS and early versions of Windows, and find what games and software you like to play around with. "Abandonware" websites will often have emulators, so you can try the games and software on the website itself without going through the trouble of installing them. Then when you're old enough to start making money and collecting old computers, you'll have a better idea of how to use them, if that's what you decided to go into for a hobby.
There is, of course, another problem that makes vintage computer collecting hard to get into, in that these old machines are often tempermental, and/or non-working when you get them, so if you don't know how to repair them, find yourself a friend who does.
Sometimes, you can luck upon them at e-waste collection facilities, but not every facility allows you to take them. There's a number of Facebook groups dedicated to vintage computers, as well as buying and selling them.
It wasn't until version 2000 that they stopped calling them release numbers. I think Release 16 was the last one numbered that way. Been using AutoCAD throughout high school, college, and my career since 2000.
"I've got a PC convertible, honey." "Nice, I like a man with a sports car!"
More like vintage cars. Lovingly restored, we take them out for a drive now and then.
So cool! My husband thought this was so cool! He uses AutoCAD daily at work!!!!
AUTOCAD is a nightmare nowdays, I can't even imagine how it would've been back then without even the grid and the few things that make it very slightly easier
As a cad operator, I would definitely use that for work on a Friday.
I think he was wonderful
That sound brought me back to 1991
WOW. ancient cad. my first ver. of AutoCAD was 2000
An authentic piece of history ❤
I love that, it was so amazing for 1986
This really like a walking pc
makes me so happy i get to use the modern version
wow is AutoCad vintage.. is cool I like it .❤
Still looking cool ❤❤
Awesome, awesome, thank you so much
Seriously, man who performs this task is a Legend
So futuristic!
Yes, that is an excellent invention. ❤
I enjoyed this...a GREAT deal
Real All in one. Print, screen, keyboard, two disc... 🤯
I love this channel
Good job bro !!! 🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓💪👍
I love the Design.
Where do you find these treasures? The condition looks new old Stock to me.....incredible
I imagine a lot of them have been restored and retr0brited. But finding the appropriate travel cases!
Ebay
Incredible design.
Geil das Teil war Mega ❤❤❤
Very retro, especially the attachable dot matrix printer.
That's just a marvelous bit of kit ❤
auto cad ....nice!!
They keyboard sound is dope
was it brand new! crazy. Love it, fantasic.
Era mucha tecnología en esa época. Muy tecnológico y de exelente calidad
it is a thing of beauty.
Amazing machine
Sounds like my mom's old computer on deadline night when I sneak in with a hangover.
Even IBM knew the benefits of ultra wide displays back then.
Prints black text which is exactly what I want a printer to do. Now today's printers complain when you don't have Purple number 87 that costs $50.
I like that old school computer laptop 1985 that 24 years ago
My brain is still spinning hourglass, for this comment
@@ralanham76 That was a lovely math right there.
Какое оно все классное👍 Прямо жестокую носталгию вызывает ❤️❤️❤️
Какая хорошая камера однако, съёмка 1986 года, а прямо как сейчас!😂
Клавиатуры IBM были великолепны! Что то подобное потом делала Mitsumi, а в последнее время ничего подобного не встречал.
Que coisa linda parabéns
Old scool ! ❤😂
Now that's what I call an Industrious Business Machine.
AutoCAD ran on UNIX/BSD too.
Auto CAD use to be circulation in a Computer Magazine called CHIP.
Beautiful
I miss the old beep and buzz.
Great video
it's so pretty.
i'm watching this while making a part in solidworks, makes me appreciatie this mordern age of technology
The literally new-in-box printer expansion unit is insane.
In the 80s office workers couldn't help looking like they lived in the gym. If you owned one of these, like it or not, you're gonna look buff.
wow, I didn't realize that Acad was very old, my first version was the Acad R11
Now that's a WIDEscreen
dude wtf, that bag,...awesome
Hermosa tecnología 😻
I have one of those PC convertibles, and the printer. It's amazing but the battery still holds a charge in that thing!!!
Study's PC in university classes:
In compact disc with Screensaver and Wallpapers. Some ringtones etc....
The keyboard 😌😌😌
Es increíble como esa cosa sigue con vida
The AUTOCAD technology was designed to maintain, accommodate, protect, and preserve documentation, specially for most REPORTS that does not require most HEAVY RESOLUTION. ASSETS EQUIPMENT SUPPLIES that does not lose its VALUE in FEATURES and FUNCTIONALITIES, automatic Printer as well.™®© *******this is NON AI Standards of Excellence for Equipment assets supplies/suppliers Technology brands-Features that are remarkable.*********IMPORTANT******
Thanks for reminding me of the time when AutoCAD didn't support a mouse
I missed those noises
They went to the moon in 1969... This was nearly 20 years after that..... Christ almighty that puts it into perspective...
Rewatch this with the captions turned on. You won't be disappointed! 🤣
😅 lol
I didn't know there was an IBM computer with a dot matrix printer built in.
A true lugable!
Thankyou.
Love it
Wow ! Very Nice
Kb sounds amazing
Oh my god !
Amazing
this thing must be more expensive than a house in Philippines back in those days
For AutoCAD next generation
Ooo now you just need a plotter
Awesome
Actually the IBM PC Convertible and the IBM PCjr were the two major IBM flops at that time.
The PCjr was the predecessor to the Tandy 1000 series, which had set the standard for DOS gaming for several years. Tandys were cheaper and MUCH easier to upgrade than the PCjr.
@@BlackEpyon The Tandy 1000 was a great computer sold exclusively by Radio Shack if I am not mistaken.
@@TelevisionCrews yep. I still have the Tandy 1000HX my dad bought when I was a kid.
@@BlackEpyonYou must be in your late 40s. I am much older than you because I was selling and fixing computers at that time.
@@TelevisionCrews Late 30's, actually. My dad bought it on clearance in 1991, planning to learn programming on it, and I was a toddler when I started playing games on it. I acquired a PCJr a couple years ago, and... yeah, it's a nice collectible, but not a whole lot you can do with it without at least adding more RAM. Which I did. Currently trying to sort out some power supply issues. I have no idea why anybody thought sidecars were a good idea.
Finally a 3D software i can run in my pc lol
So what we really need is a laptop with a built-in 3D printer
Some poor nameless faceless engineer at skunkworks: “screw it! I’m going back to pen, paper, and ruler”
Это действительно круто. Может быть и у нас в России начнут делать ЭВМ. Трудновато наладить производство под обстрелами
that´s cool!
being able to use that thing was equal to changing bolts on a satellite in space
Два дисковода для дискет, это так ганкстерски😊
Одна дискета загрузка ОС
Cool man
かっこいいなぁ
一台くらい欲しい
🤣 I remember - 30 min for the computer to cross hash a small piece of the drawing
These were a horrific flop for IBM, if you bought all of those NOS it probably came from Computer Reset before the remaining collection was scrapped. I got a few dozen boxes of PC Convertible parts from the fellas trying to clear out the warehouse on the last day they let people in
Creation and Design
I can admit this now I never knew what a zip file was😅
