Most of my external USB drives work as intended. But I'm probably only up to about 10 now, including the ones I put in cases myself, so it is too...

My sample size is a lot smaller; the external power adapter failed. Those are never supposed to fail so it looked like a USB bridge failure; when I...

PAC scripts are not necessarily local. They can be fetched from a URL. Please just go to that page and take a look to confirm that you are not...

If you visit chrome://net-internals/#proxy does it report that you are using a PAC script that you were not expecting? If there is a PAC script,...

The IBM 4869 externally floppy drive works with that connector.

As stated in the previous thread, the best use of the edit function is to fix egregious typos or to delete a post that needs deleting after you have...

Hi Stone, Normally I'm more restrained, but in this case I've kind of lost my patience with you. On behalf of the other moderators, leave. ...

There is not much specific to the machine. I would look for IBM Writing Assistant - that is period correct for the machine.

The Convertible makes a cute Telnet or IRCjr device: The Xircom PE3-10BT adapter is the preferred way to do it. You can use SLIP or PPP as an...
