Activity Stream

I never said 66 MHz host capable controllers were not common in later model machines. All cards had to indicate they could run at 66 MHz since the...

Looks like the MicroMac stuff is still available! $49 for mine, unless they haven't updated their website in ages:...

I hope you're able to make it more functional. Crazy to ignore the SE's on-board memory then cripple it with only a meg installed. My first...

So the most accurate way to describe it is that the last character in the line slightly is distorted vertically. As if it is still printing the last...

VLB wasn't dropped because of usability issues, it was dropped because the Pentium was introduced. And despite its shortcomings, it was far faster...

Incidentally this whole excursion is an act of desperation. I hit a brick wall with the performance of a 3GHz dual P4 machine. I thought about...

I burned a new disc from the same ISO file, and have now two discs that do the same thing, yet the one installs on a P4 machine just fine. I made a...

I have the exact CD-ROM drive myself that's installed in my Packard Bell desktop. It needed the eject mechanism repaired (would open slowly and...

Hello Folks! I've put together another batch of items as I continue to wade through my warehouse and winnow out the wonders: HP 2116C System...

The Ampro Little Board/PC, whatever the exact wording is, has a SCSI option. Or at least with mine it was an option, as mine came without the NCR...

Is it a z/80 or a 186 LittleBoard? I have a 186 but have had little time to play with it.

I used to have one of those boards with no cache on it and it worked fine after I updated the BIOS. I had an AMD 5x86-133 @ 160 in it with 192 MB of...

From Apple History: The Enhanced IIe ROM changes fixed most of the known problems with the IIe 80-column firmware, and made it possible to enter...

Item is no longer available; Parted out. You may see some of the parts in my later listings.

Interestingly enough, Creative still has support (i.e.---downloads) for such old drives directly from their site: ...

Those are some fantastic pictures Jeff. I am still wanting to make one of these!

You know, at this point you may want to check the integrity of your source CD. If you've got SP2 up and running, SP3 should be a no-brainer.

My hat's off to you--at this point, that SCSI card would have been relegated to the "maybe if I'm desperate" box of cards in my bailiwick. I...

Strangely enough, I still run across old technical documents as .PM4 files. I've never owned a 386SX system. My take was that after you've...

Thanks Jerry. I'll dig into this more tomorrow. Rich

Indeed. We designed to the 80/20 rule. 80% local, 20% wide area. For this company, they had a /8 IP netblock, but almost all traffic was Novell...

You're correct! Thank you. I didn't think that would work but it does. At least, it gets past that point. Except now it stops and says it can't...

Crisis avoided... this website won't let me upload the file but it's called sbcddw95.exe Just copy it to your C drive... run the file and it will...

cctalk subscriber here. There are a lot of threads that I'm not interested in (PDP 11/45 boot problems or IBM 3174 microcode disks; the two active...

Based on the schematic posted above it's just a BU508 power transistor. Still readily available.

There must be some other set of ROMs out there, then. We need to pull out all our IIe and dump them. I would think this is most likely the ROM from...

If you say so... I was expecting all you fellow retro PC lovers to be head over heels at the idea of saving as many old computers as possible, so you...
