Having lived through the commercial relevance of 10base2, no thanks. I'll save the 50ohm coax for radio use

The real problem is that the fastest P3's probably can't drive the last generation 8x AGP gaming cards in games anyway. I keep some AthlonXP/last...

If you need networking on a PC/XT you might as well relive the good old days of coax. ;) I still have my old 3COM hubs with coax and cat5 plus...

At the risk of being on-topic, welcome, and I'm trying to figure out your username.

Ultimately, though, that's the trick here, really. If some failures are because of "analog" problems then really any compatibility list can only...

I have a Thinkpad T400 and if I had to buy something newer I would stick with a Thinkpad but a used one. Thinkpads are just easier to work on and...

Which shooters are you talking about? I think the last shooters I purchased from GOG were the Hard Reset and Painkiller games and they were...

You should be able to configure the BIOS to boot from the cdrom first. Is the BIOS battery still good?

Do you (or anyone else) have any really Canadian-origin systems? (e.g. AES, MCM, etc.) Those would pretty much date back to the (Pierre) Trudeau...

Thanks for the tip. I'm not on the mailing list and for the most part just jump in there on a whim. It's becoming more difficult to find the better...

If you measure a range of IC pins with a micrometer you will find even though some DIL IC pins seem to look a little different they are very closely...

Last time I checked thrift stores, all were older, and used the joystick port. I'll certainly look again, but finding USB ones there is not...

That is a very nice collection there. I particularly like the "IPC 486" tower.

Seems like the Xbox clone USB controllers need XP or later or even Windows 7, but they are cheap on ebay new. Ever look around at the local...

If you are on the GoG mailing list they give out free games from time to time if you act within a few days to claim them. I just claimed Wasteland...

. I see in the service manual for the HX-12, "Power Supply: 120V, 60Hz (220/240V, 50Hz available)". Good information. Based on my understanding...

No problem, the guy will be shipping it out tomorrow, and I think he is too far north of you anyway. I think he is up in Grass Valley, which is above...

That's a good suggestion. I'll have to give my own cards a rundown with that tonight when I get the chance.

That's why I said to note if the card was an "off brand." Sometimes people will skimp on something as basic as bypass caps, and I've learned my own...

I sent you a PM. Anyway, I do online help for a hobby. Here, it also helps others as well, not just you. Besides I don't think you'd be happy with my...

I also refuse to use FB as well as linkedin. They are both data rapers. Just logging out right ways has no effect on what they sell about you. I...

I did this with the B: on my Kaypro about a month ago. It was sensitive and would work okay one minute and not the next. I put my scope on the test...

Theres no powerbook 146. If its flashing icon it needs a hard drive or hard drive cable replacement.

I did that it still wont work

yeah I use that same TX on my WD8003 card, it works great didn't someone figure out a way to get the super common 3c509 series cards to work in...

Stranger Things? Interesting show.
