Yes, server fans usually run at like 8000 RPM because they're small and need to move tons of air. This is why rack servers are generally stupid loud....

Dang. I checked the voltages on this Apple II PSU -- all good. Plugged her in, turned on.. checked voltages at the board. All good. But zero to...

If they are so self destructive then what is a working C16 worth these days?

None of mine have wheels but the wire shelving looks like that. What is the weight rating per shelf on yours?

The C16 and Plus4 are regarding the CPU and TED chip, just a disaster waiting to happen. It is not a question if they will fail but when... Both...

I have just about all my computers hooked up and operational via KVM. About half are in a rolling "home theater" rack (think server rack but not as...

I just grabbed it :). However, there's another one up for auction on eBay. It hasn't been tested though, so it may or may not work.

I'm sure you do. But look where you and they are located. I'm 10 minutes from Philadelphia, 60 minutes from Atlantic City, 90 minutes from NYC...

When I saw it offered I though of your benchmark software. Good card to get a baseline. As a side note, are benchmark submissions supposed to be...

Come to think of it, I think a must-do for this documentary is an archaeological dig at the Lisa dump site. That would surely get some gofundme...

That would have involved the Lisa being something it wasn't - inexpensive and fast. I love my Lisa as a museum piece, but as a computer, it sucks. ...

Ha! Everyone says we need to move the event to their nearest large city! The truth is that Las Vegas is the easiest for our international guests...

Some of VCFMW's attendees do this, and farther, so it wasn't an unreasonable expectation to assume you'd be driving in. We get people who drive...

If you want a quick way to get working with an assembler, 1. google for "Editor-Assembler Series 1 v1.1 (1981)(Radio Shack)". Get the .CAS file....

Point being that if the Lisa was on the market, we wouldn't have been stuck with single-tasking MS-DOS, and Windows, and MacOS and then silly-tasking...

This should be of no surprise to anyone working with a drive that's likely over 30 years old now.... MFM's weren't designed to last this long and...

I have three Commodore 386SX-16 machines where the SMD electrolytic caps have leaked, corrodded pads, and eaten traces. But so far only that model,...

For anyone wanting the .RAW & .IMD images of the Exidy Emulator's .DSK images, I've loaded my .ZIP file to Dropbox at this shared URL: ...

Personally I'd love to see a good quality documentary about the Lisa. I don't know if there's enough material for an hour-plus, but certainly there...

Nah. Apple is a big niche company. Always was and always will be. They're about margins, not volume. Even if IBM and Microsoft hadn't created the...

Thought about it but I think I'll sit this first one out just to get the feel for it,but I will be there. Kinda had a bad issue doing a Parralax...

For some models, it's pretty easy. I discovered that I have an extra Nakamichi BX-1 deck. Belts and idler wheels can easily be had for it. ...

Had to pack them very well, I watched the UPS/Fed EX training video. It was on Ace Ventura Pet Detective. You should watch it some time, it will make...

Typically these are flat, not round? You should be able to find orings of every conceivable size. Shop around, if a round belt will do. Perhaps you...

I set the shelf heights to common case widths, then stack on their side. Main reason is that it's way easier to get a system out. Only downside...

There are sellers on eBay that sell a pack with an assortment of belt sizes. Much easier to pick through an assortment than try to figure out exact...
