Welp.. Now I've gotta try instaling Win95 on my Packard Bell 300SX (386SX-16 + 80387) 5MB ram, 200mb HDD. Maybe I'll make a video about it :P

I don't know about period, but here are a few ideas: I've never done it, but was once told you can mix epoxy and thermal paste together to hold on...

Interconnection is required in many states in the US. I know it was in NY.

Hi guys, I managed to get my hands on a Presario 3020 after wanting to have one for a long time. It's an awesome machine! Very futuristic. I...

That thingy IS the variable capacitor. It just ajusts the frequency a little bit upwards or downwards.

I have wired-together line-operated alarms in my house. No squeals, but a loud buzz that's enough to wake the dead--when one goes off, they all do....

Most of the 40 pin DIL package is lead connections. The (heat-producing) die is actually quite small and located under the metal lid. But if...

Maybe British smoke alarms, but every smoke alarm I've ever heard in the US is a shrill, ear-piercing squawker that you can't possibly ignore unless...

There is a an adjustable thingy on the motherboard, which I assumed was for just this purpose based on reading things about the 5150. Would the...

Does that mean that you don't even put batteries in their smoke alarms? :-)

Fortunately, I don't really like kids. :evil:

2. Look for 14.31818 MHz. It can be trimmed a bit with the variable capacitor, but CGA composite will only display proper colors if it's tuned spot...

So I still need the answers to these: 2. I have a 5150 motherboard that has some minor corrosion around the crystal. So I am wanting to replace...

My XT with its coprocessor has been running along just fine for ~ 30 years without any sink, fan or whatever. I'm certainly not about to alter its...

Not at all. You said you wanted to turn it up and make it more professional, my comment was a joke, since this implies it's been unprofessional or...

Re my WD1002S-WX2. The drive table in its 62-000042-11 BIOS ROM is: cyls/heads/wpc = 612/4/613 cyls/heads/wpc = 612/2/128 cyls/heads/wpc =...

At the comparison photo at here], it is clear that Everex, for their EV-391 card, either licenced the WD1002S-WX2 design (hardware + software) from...

5.25" floppy drives are... $20 each obo. Black Toshiba drive is 360KB... I'm unsure of the other two. Thank you

Well..... while I collect a few DEC Fortran images, I thought that I'd reload the Fortran files I have, thinking that maybe they were corrupt. So,...

Check your storage space regularly (monthly). Interesting comment. I did casual work for Company that has about 48 storage units for hire....

Thanks! The D10-1 schematic is completely different from the Xebec example schematic. Which one do you have? The DTS-10 or DTS-10-1? Very curious!...

LOL I don't know how to take that... "The Unprofessional computer guy". Is that how I come across? Hmmm well maybe I should put more energy into...
