The SOL-20 uses a capacitive keyboard and will almost certainly need refoamed. If you haven't done that, I wouldn't bother troubleshooting anything...

Pad-per-hole ISA prototype boards are still cheap and plentiful (I haven't bothered to lay one out for this reason). Plus, a lot of ISA cards are...

Uhm, no? You can clearly see a Widget HDA.

Nice one, alank2! Although you do get 16x8mb drives as standard IIRC, which should be enough for most people, but it would be nice to mount...

If they are anything like the astec sup[plies used in the apple 2 then the metal ones should be on the holes with the pcb traces, they use it to...

If anyone is looking to use SDHC with the multicomp, I have a patch that might help. I had no experience with VHDL, but spent a little time looking...

Yup, cold solder joint on pin 4 of Z64 (74LS157), and boom, back in business! :) The next issue is a dead return key on the main keyboard. ...

A modem is a modulator/demodulator. That's where the word comes from. Dialup is a term for the service you would use a modem with to connect to the...

I love ISA network cards, especially those non-PnP types whose addresses/IRQ can be configured via jumpers. A card that uses a common chipset (like...

A modem is the little box that routes your connection to the internet. "56k modem" to me is a confusing term. So "56k dial-up card" makes more sense...

I have come across motherboards that were not starting, and out of the speaker was a constant tone. Noting that there were small chips you could...

Thanks for the input. I was thinking on saving them to make some money, but since they aren't worth much and don't sell well I may as well scrap 'em....

Hi Peter, did you know whats the idea behind this? Make it sense to have them on the top of the bus? Rgds Heinrich

Yep, this is also my idea :D I tough the H9275-A will not fit in a BA11 enclosure? The power terminal is on the wrong side?!

Drive was took from dead Macintosh LC, sold as "dedicated" hdd for LC (sticker by some german company). And it had MacOS from LC on it... but it...

The error still doesn't make much sense (the 18,0 part). Does the drive seek to track 1 (the TATATATA sound?), does it start formatting tracks (the...

I bet it has a Rodime HDD that will go bang the moment power is applied.

I'm staring at that Outrun cart... I WANT!!!
