About

American seller and eBay member for over 20 years.
Many decades of computer technical experience —

Microcomputers/PCs since 1977: intel 8080, 4K RAM (all built with soldering iron). CP/M, dual audio cassette tape drives for storage (1200-baud), miniature WWII bomber aircraft impact printer. System designed to replicate in miniature the IBM-360 that I previously operated. Wrote programs to do payroll with automatic bonus calculations based on performance, inventory control with automated quantity requirement adjustments plus purchase order generation and printing, custom job-cost order calculations, and semi-automated real time diamond appraisals. All in 4K RAM!

Before that, ran an IBM 360 mainframe for a large bank during college: 64K magnetic core, 3 partitions — later upgraded to 512K magnetic core and virtual O/S (at a cost of $2 million!). Hard drives were the size of washing machines, tape drives taller than me, modem the size of an office desk... Things have certainly changed!

    Fortunate I chose pclegacy.com for the drive. Very easy communications - great advice and feedback on my installation process. Exactly as described - would 100% buy from this seller again if I need something! [Some shipping delays, completely out of the control of the seller - no worries.] Packaged VERY securely - box partially dented during shipping and the drive was well protected. Recovered sentimental value files - so price well worth it!

    The SCSI card was delivered quickly, came very well packaged, and included everything shown in the pictures exactly as shown. There were some problems with the item I purchased, but I was able to return for a refund without issue. PCLegacy is one of the best sellers of classic tech overall and great to communicate with, so I look forward to coming back!

    The item arrived safely and was exactly as described. It's appearance was like new and the quality of the item was confirmed with a functional test. I believe that I received a very good value for the money. I would definitely consider this seller for future retro technology purchases.

    10/10 in all respects. Great product, amazing communication, even when the package ended in Puerto Rico(USPS’s fault). I would definitely recommend this seller.

    Seller swapped my shipment with someone else's, so had to make an extra trip to the post office and wait an additional 7 days for all of that to get resolved. When I finally received the board, it had some nasty gouges (solder mask scraped off, copper scratched up), and was marked up with a pen, neither of which were shown in the auction photo. Board does work, but I probably won't be purchasing from this seller again.

    Dishonest review. No trips to the post office — delivered directly to the buyer's door. This was a used board 25+ years old — a few light scratches, but certainly no "nasty gouges." We drew a small red circle around the speaker port on sound cards so our original customers could find where to plug their speakers. I swapped two shipments, true, first time in over 20 years, and I apologized profusely. I reached out to this buyer to ask what I could do to make him happy. He never responded.
