I have besides this thread contacted Henk Gooijen via Mail. He has also the impression that my drive makes too much noise. So the hint was now to...

And same here, I've never used an IC tester, most of the electronic boards that I repair have non-socketed logic chips, so I must identify the...

We can compare our setup if you like. Lets start with M8192 & M8043 only!

I think it is this one: https://youtu.be/9-UWP-Op278

Yes indeed, only the RM02 is usable with the RH11, as it runs at 3000 rpm, rather than 3600 rpm. Not sure if the RA80 is able to work on a RH11 tough.

I believe that if you are running all 64-bit code then any 32bit code is run under emulation any way. Who knows how this stuff is implemented on the...

Yeah, I'd go with Chuck's suggestion of an isolation transformer. You can get smallish ones sorta cheap, it's common to need one to go from one phase...

The problem with this logic is that few of us car drivers (I can't speak for what in the UK we call "white van men") are intentionally trying to kill...

No colors until warm sounds like a bad solder joint somwhere. Unless you can measure the ESR of the original capacitors to confirm they're bad, I...

Except that these days there is no personal responsibility. If your helmet twists breaks your neck because you somehow stupidly landed on your head,...

And neutral is really only neutral because it's referenced to ground. (But it is not ever "ground".) Neutral is most notable for being able to...

As this is your first post, welcome to VCFED. I am way too far away from you (being in the UK) but you have come to the right place! Let's hope...

Big question: Would using unpatched Windows affect the stability and functionality of newer drivers and software that support the OS?

You shouldn't require any cards at all (other than the CPU and an external serial card if the CPU doesn't have one) to get ODT up and running. We did...

Heh, if only you told us what exactly they did patch, and which Windows version.

Who needs networking if you have a bunch of USB thumb drives?

That is beautiful. I'm closer than most, but broke at the moment. Does it run CP/M? Does it come with much in the way of software?

Windows update is a free service, once your system is verified. I don't know if Microsoft is even obliged to offer the service. Some people look upon...

"Ground" is the lead, that when firmly grasped while standing barefoot in a mud puddle isn't going to electrocute you.

When it comes to caps, I don't go by the silkscreen--I go by the component that I just removed. I learned about ASUS boards the hard way... The...

Pegatron, ASUS and ASRock gear (Pegatron owns the latter two) is always a PITA to recap because they universally print component and board masks...

Well ok, there are always fringe cases, and if the use case makes sense, and everyone is in the know about it and it's all based on an informed...

Actually, I did forget to mention that! The stepper that drives the read/write head does sound rough. I can rotate it with my finger, but it does...

Quick question: how much RAM is in the thing, and how long are you leaving it on before concluding that you aren't getting anything over the serial...

The thing is nobody cares if you fall of your bike and crack your head open (unless you block their path), but people will get pissed if malware...

In a house, nuetral is a current carrying path. When the UPS takes over, there will be no current carrying path. The ground of the fuse box is a...
