Welcome Home.

Welcome to the retronbyte online gateway.

This gateway is a place to hang around if you own one of our machines—or if you just like older hardware and the way the internet used to be.

Picked up a refurbished system from us? Awesome! You'll find drivers tailored to your specific hardware, setup guides to get you going, and software bundles we've tested on actual machines. Everything you need is here.

Getting started: Read the Blog | Drivers for your system | Downloads | Webmail

Stick around and chat: Sign the guestbook and tell us what you're running—we'd love to know. Read the blog for the latest hardware restoration or whatever we’re finding interesting. Browse archived hardware news from when your system was brand new; it's fun to see what reviewers thought back then. Check out what other people built in our community spotlight. If you want to talk shop about hardware, swap tips, or need help with something, just reach out.

Whether you're here because you bought from us or you just appreciate machines from this era, we're glad you stopped by.

To learn more about this portal and what we do, check out the about page.

Enjoy exploring!
