Well currently Mouser is sucking an Egg on all fronts for me... Ordered a few components two weeks ago w/ two day shipping. They were finally shipped today. Mouser supposedly upgraded to next day so...

Yep, that was the one. They were way ahead of the time with that one. A few years later with WMC and XP and they would have had a real product... until of course MS killed it...

I don't follow NewEgg that much any more. When they came on the scene they had excellent prices, free shipping. Then the free shipping went away and prices went up so that for those of us in CA it...

Well wasn't the large TV part of the Gateway systems? That is, they were not selling TVs but had one of the first HTPC setups? I think they came with 29" CRTs. EDIT: I stand corrected. Apparently,...

Was TigerDirect ever a retail presence or just online? I only knew them as an online store.

To quote a movie....

Are you sure Chuck? I think you sold me that card many moons ago... Of course I guess you could have had multiples... LOL!

I think it is "sudden" in that there was no fire sale or lay offs so no indication that it was coming.

Fry's started out as grocery store (Chuck(G) can tell you the history way better then I ever...

Frys shuts down: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/02/24/business/frys-electronics-closure/index.html

I remember when the Frys store opened up in Woodland Hills and practically put the CompUSA store...

Hello All,

Looking for 8 sticks of 1mb 80ns or faster 9-chip (Parity) 30pin SIMMs. Ideally it would be a matched set but not a deal killer if not. If you have them please PM me. I am in LA, CA for...

Maybe. It would be nice if other owners would pitch in and tell us what they have on their system. Although a 10% reduction seems strange to me. Did you check any other components on the board?


...

I still like my solution ;)

Mark,

Can you please clear some messages in your VCF inbox? It won't let me send you any more PMs. TIA!

Check out this thread especially the last post.

Do you have the original HDD in there? If you do can you take some pictures of it and how it is setup in the drive cage? TIA!

Ok. I was not looking forward to replacing the ceramic caps. :D As far as backlight you may want to check this thread here.




25 seconds sounds a bit slow but I have to check when I get my...

Interesting. I would think that turning it all the way down would lead to a black/dark screen. The board I am talking about is not in your pictures. It is the one with the two pots on it for volume...

Thanks for the pictures. They are very helpful. I have been struggling with my own 486c for a while. My problem is that I can not adjust the brightness of the screen at all. I had been concentrating...

Ok. so I got my bands from Misumi. Quality looks excellent. They are slightly textured so I think grip should be well. They are made of PU and NOT latex and as far as I can tell Chuck they are...

Hi Mark,

Yes! I am still interested. I will send you a private message. TIA!

I had chucked that up to different packaging of the same part I.e. a TO-252 vs. To-251

66167

I think that is the correct datasheet. Thank you for that. Based on the sheet it is working as...

I ordered the exact part i.e. A Motorola B330. I always thought, in simple terms, that a transistor basically operated like two diodes? Is that incorrect?

Quick recap: I picked up a nice looking but problematic Compaq Portable 486c - most of the issues have been resolved. My last remaining issue is that I can not adjust brightness on the screen at all....

I ordered some today. Once I have them in hand I can let you know. Should be here next week sometime.

Chuck I think you need to read it as Natural Latex Free AND Sulfur Free. Not that it is natural latex which is sulfur free. I am guessing here. On the site it clearly states: "Material Polyurethane...

Thanks for the pictures I assume you are using the smaller bands for the DC100 and the bigger bands for the DC300 (and probably the DC600s?)
