All good. :cool:

i usually keep an eye on my local freecycle and gumtree site, some people upgrade and just want rid of there old one or i've had a few cheap LCD...

So, EGA mode F is actually 640x350x3 grays... I thought the only card supporting 3-grays graphics was Tecmar Graphics Master. There was that Wyse...

Haha, sorry. When people resurrect old dead posts, it's easy to miss the change in dates. :)

Yeah, I think the trick here is that native EGA output is digital, so it's going to depend to a great extent on how the monitor chooses to handle it....

Hello, dead shorts on AC side of SMPSUs are usually due to shorted bridge diode(s), and/or shorted BJT/Mosfet on the primary transformer side or...

Oh, also if it boots with the ROM removed, I'd suspect you've got some other ROM sitting in the way. What else are in these machines? Anything...

It looks like a well made supply to me and worth fixing. It is worth checking all the diodes and transistors, most of which you can do in circuit,...

I forgot that SpeedStor can also display the BIOS' hard drive table. To do that, start SpeedStor with the 'romlist' switch, i.e. C:\SSTOR65>sstor...

I found a reference to Noval in a book. Apparently the machine was really good for programming games. It was used by Sega developers to program...

My advice is that before card acquisition, you ensure that technical documentation is still available for the card. In some cases, specialist...

Looks good to me.

I am merely conveying what actual sellers are complaining about openly on the official eBay feedback forums and my surprise at their willingness to...

If it's year after year consistent I may be inclined to agree. I used to sell a lot of crappola on eBay, didn't consume more then 3-6 hours a week....

Maybe I should hit a thrift store and see if they have any. Goodwill used to have CRT monitors ages ago (no computers). I have not checked there in...

Anybody making $20K on ebay or selling 200+ things a year is pretty much not a part time hobbyist.

You pretty much are buying this to show off since there is little to run on it. I wonder how many people snag one of these, let it collect dist for a...

This is really good into. Very Very helpful!! Many thanks!! KL

I just fired mine up here - my slapdash repair of the I/O card with jumper wires seems to be holding up 5 years later. Boy that was a trick. I'm...

I wrote: > ...and discussion of CLASS is in the shared forum area with CommVEx at... The correct link is at ...

Lisas are good for being essentially a demo machine for an office that never was. The development streams for LOS have long since dried up and most...

Yes. I have checked the PSU while it is COMPLETELY disconnected from the computer; same result.

Peripheral prices make some sense to me. There seem to be way more loose machines than keyboards and mice. If you have a machine without those...

I’m fairly confident they’re in the right place/orientation. Now as to whether or not they’re corrupted, that’s a different story. I’ll try to...

Thanks, Alan, but I've already got the sub-Cs ordered. I'll remember for next time.

I use PP with my PP credit card. I've got about 10,000 points--one of these days, I have to see if that will get me a tank of gas or a cup of...

There are some brands that it isn't worth bothering about--Wabash comes to mind--they were garbage 5 years after they were manufactured.

Depends on the monitor. A traditional MDA-style monitor is capable of displaying only 2 levels. There were a few monochrome monitors specifically...
