Hello Everyone,
I am a nostalgic person when it comes to Vintage Computers, Packard Bell especially. I am mainly looking for any Packard Bell Computers, Master CD and Diskettes. This will make me happy and will benefit a special project for Packard Bell Users. I have tried all over my state without luck. If this helps I live in Lousiana.

My first 'real' computer was a Packard Bell 486

Had an old used Tandy 1000 before that

If you can find anymore, what do you use them for? Just for a hobby collection?

I had this one as well. Mother fricker was hard core.

The 386 I had before that was great as well. Don't make em like they used to

RIP turbo button.

Should have posted this about 2-3 weeks ago.

Long story short: my grandad was a computer engineer for years and threw away a ton of old PB, IBM, and NCR stuff while moving

I used to have a full 486 motherboard/CPU/sound as wall decor. Not sure what happened to it, though. Parents might have the old packard bell in an attic somewhere.

This is for a personal project, I live in Baton Rouge and I have tired all of the internet. I am sure some of you may have Master CD/Diskettes and Documentation that will go into recycling and the computer.
