1. Turns out all those ICEMANSG.* files are just savegames! I initially assumed they were something more interesting since they were ~40KB each, but I guess not haha. Seems the game just creates some pretty beefy save files. Still, it's neat to have a bunch of old saves from the Sierra QA department though.

2. That drive makes the sound of the two-stroke engine of a German Trabant car.

3. Given the massive pile of hardware this machine was pulled from, finding Ken Williams’ actual modded PCjr almost seems like divine intervention.

4. Now you need to put the smoke back in the capacitor lol, I went to a local college for automotive repair and during the electrical course we had circuit boards where we would wire up certain components like lights, horns and other stuff to get an idea on how the electricity flows in a vehicle and someone made a short and poped a capacitor and the instructor jokingly told them that they needed to put the smoke back in or they failed lmao.

5. Im exactly 16K person whom liked this video 😀

6. Those files are probably save games. since they were called like SG01 SG02 and so on.
   Holy Cr.p I'm blind. Didn't see ur comment at first.

7. Awesome..Cool that you did not need to try the last resort freezing hd trick.

8. I remember working with both the "mod+" pcjr harddrives, and the AT cdroms(the size of a minifridge). It always felt like anything would break if you did anything wrong. Even when they worked perfect. The seek on either was super loud. My school library got one of the first cd-roms in existance. I remember all the mark one discs were gold. It was all long obsolete in the 90's. Hence I was asked to try to fix it back then. Wish I had that copy of proto-encarta!

9. also u reminded me of Project ICEMAN from the Transformers 🙂

10. one day u will be a museum curator…. then again I wud like to be too just to play with these machines.

11. You know im 17 years old and just got my first gaming computer after yeeeeaaarrrs of having nothing or a "shitty" laptop ive had since 15, seeing videos like this is awesome seeing where we all started and how far we've gotten. Good video man ya got a youngin to watch many more of your videos.

12. 19:45 I mean, it's exactly what it says it is, yet it's still strangely satisfying.

13. That's a bad bearing on the drive somewhere. I know that sound since i've got some twenty of those on machine at work.

14. "You can't teleport to hell."

    Well, I certainly I hope not! LMAO!

15. I would have read ice.bat

16. This was so cool to watch dude. The fact that you got a computer from a game development company was awesome. The fact it still actually works was even better. I was dying to know what was on there haha

17. I like how the IBM EGA monitor displays its 16 colours down the bottom during POST.

18. 1:11 that pun was unexpected

19. 6 minutes in, anticipation is killing meeee!

20. you realy should start thinking about getting equipment for taking harddrives appart.. as far as I know, you can swap the main magnetic disc from the hd to a other hd unit.

21. I think the irony is that you found Ken W.'s computer and the most valuable part about it is that it is an IBM PC Jr. with 640K of ram and a HDD. Apparently, that is more rare than Ken himself!

22. Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne

23. That smoking power supply, you triggered the computer's self-destruct mechanism when you copied those secret files off its hard drive.

24. That disc drive noise sounds like physical rubbing. There is an encoder wheel on the stepper motor. It’s that wheel you were messing with. The read head is not in the video shots but it seems the wheel has a plastic center. The wheel may have been bumped and sits lob sided. Try to make it run true. The sounds seems to change frequency when you’re reading from the drive so the motor must be spinning faster. Hope my theory helps. Nice video btw!

25. but will it run crysis?

26. I found some modern replacements for those filter caps. Not too expensive. I threw one in my IIGS, no problems yet.

27. Out of curiosity, why does it look so much better on the PCjr version?

28. I think all those midi files are from sierra games like space quest 1 and leisure suit larry 1. Cancan and ZZtop caught my eye.

29. This has been on my watch later list for a while and even only being a minute in, this is gorgeous in it's unique, retro 80s/90s way. I'm gonna have to invest in an old PC as well as a regular day to day laptop, just have my mobile atm :/

30. I snorted so hard when you said 20mb hdd. I love old drives.

31. Eh, why don't you just replace that broken rifa cap with another X2 capacitor with the same values? Or has the rest of the PSU died too?

32. That is the reason why PCjr's didn't catch on – Sierra was supposed to write and port whole bunch of games for it, but instead they sent it to repair and forgot about it.

    "- You bastards, you killed PCjr!"
    😀

33. i commented on here before but i keep thinking about this video and how newer tech seems to have a shorter life-span than older tech. my dell 4100 from y2k has a broken maxtor hdd (falty ide connection) but this tandon drive from 30 or less years ago is working fine besides sounding like a trainwreck.

34. I still remember playing Codename Iceman.

35. It’s funny, this computer was used in the place that I now live! And it went from Nebraska to Dallas! So cool! Keep up the good work Clint!

36. Love this! My dad was an IBMer, so my very first computer back in the early 80s was a PCjr. Beyond playing games (King's Quest, Wizardry, Starflight), I learned to program with the Hands On BASIC book, and 35 years later I'm still working as a software developer thanks to that. 🙂

37. do there actually exist any cartridges for the PC jr.? All the images i've seen of it never have anything plugged into those slots. Does anything make use of them?

38. glad someone who appreciates that old computer for what it is… has it for the right reasons …. good on you !

39. these computer reset episodes are amazing!

40. Holy crap! Are you in the same town as me? I had thunder while I was watching this at the same time that you did!!!! LOL

41. thumbs up for sharing hdd on archive.org

42. A development kit from Sierra online…..SUPER rare. Cool.

43. So crazy how it just comes back to life and then just dies in smoke…! What a story! 🙂

44. I may be born in the 2000s, but who the fuck cares? I want that computer no matter how much money and digging into the Dark Web it takes!

45. hey!!did talk to metaljesusrock about this to see what backstory can tell you?

46. lgr why not replace bad caps instead waiting 1 week?

47. I had a friend's dead hard drive. For a few weeks, I tried everything. I ended up putting it alternately in the freezer and into the sun. Eventually, it would spin up for about 10 minutes at a time. I would race to copy pictures and documents for a few minutes then have to let it cool down for an hour or so. I eventually got everything off. What a nightmare.

48. Stay up, Clint. I want to cry on your shoulder.
