Tested the power supply and power harness. I made one mistake, I swapped the -15 and -25 on the H720 connector. So I corrected that and the band new...

Last year I started taking notes during meetings on a Z88 - newly acquired by me having wanted one since my original died in 1990. It typically...

I just really want to clean it. It Irks me how people take photos of these things without even wiping them down.

Quite simple: the 386sx needs at least 20 more additional pins than the 286, so no way to use the same socket. And that's also the reason why drop-in...

I guess the ability to support an external CPU cache was the main reason for going with a different socket?

We did a little more work on the SOL yesterday. All of the old pads in the keyboard have been removed. We pulled a Wang keyboard from the warehouse...

I had a 1512 when I was a student with a 30MB HD and 5.25" floppy drive. I added a 3.5" floppy drive, and it was a great PC that ran everything that...

Isn't that what most games do anyway? I mean, games don't run in slow-motion on slower systems, they just draw fewer frames per second - keeping the...

I have a 1512 with the same problem- dead Miniscribe HD- this one the 8438 model. The PC boots fine with the system floppy, and works fine otherwise....

Why would you need to know the speed of the system at all? In a racing game the movement of things on the screen would depend on elapsed time and...

All working now. I installed the Lynemouth Software Commodore PET ROM/RAM, set to 40 column, 50Hz, BASIC4. The built-in Wedge opened subdirectories...

I sent reply, but not published yet. Hi Patrick As you mentioned, the problem was with connector pins in PSU. Attached a picture before...

Update, after some further testing and loading a set of specific NeXTDimension tests onto my NeXT Turbo Cube....

I'm sorry for the long delay in the answer but I was busy with real life ... Currently I do not have the card installed but, as you can see in the...

Ok I bothered. The Barnegat Freecycle group seems dead. So I posted on Toms River. We'll see ...

I can't be bothered. I don't even know, but I would imagine. I just need to get rid of some stuff as quickly as possible.

Thanks Ethan. I had another look at it this morning. I had worked out all of what you posted... The key bit of information that confused me in...

If you are stuck, do you have a local freecycle group?

I showed the pictures to a friend of mine who used to work with ATMs (install, service) before he retired. He says that this is the control...

You'll need a real IDE controller on an ancient version of Windows to have any chance of reading data from that hard drive. USB2IDE bridge chips are...

Where are you from? I have one I want to get rid off, since I have no time restoring it anyway. Case is VERY yellow, however.
