If you're into MDT-9100s, good news! A bunch just popped up on ebay. The 9100-T is a 386-based windows box. The 9100-10 was an earlier and apparently weirder machine, but has a nearly identical form factor.

I'd figured that modern manufacturing techniques had made it essentially obsolete.
They haven't. I started grinning the second the ink started flowing. There's nothing like it.

Someone stripped down a bike in front of our house. Basically all that's left are the frame and wheels. What do we do with this? Are these parts just not valuable to anyone?
