For the future, go for the long side of the clip (the upper part on your 2nd photo), that's the end that it's supposed to be pushed down. It can turn ugly if you try it on the wrong end.
Re: PS/2 Keyboard Cable
Posted on Yesterday, 17:55
I really don't know anything helpful, but from the description and the fact that this is a terminal keyb, have you considered the possibility that this side ps/2 port is not an alternative way to connect to keyb to the pc, but to connect other devices on it? Like some handheld scanner for example, …

Re: 386 50mhz Overclock: Very Slow, No Cache?
Posted on 2020-07-04, 08:50
I tried 40mhz with cache disabled, and as I thought, it's still much faster than 50mhz w/o cache... something is definitely off, not just the cache. Cachecheck also reports no errors. This is strange. With cache disabled in both cases, you get 37 at 40MHz and 25 at 50MHz? Long shot, but are you …

What on earth did you do to these photos and why? From what I can make out there is quite a lot of corrosion, even under chips/connectors, but better pictures are needed. I'd try removing one or two after cleaning to see what's going on underneath.

I think when the "cache bad" is displayed, then it's disabled like disabling it manually from the BIOS. I bet if you run the same benchmark with the 80MHz crystal and cache disabled you'll get even lower results

I'd say it's very good, on the fast side of dx/40's and there is no need to do anything else. Gains will be minimal and of no practical use. Unless you're seeing this as a find-the-limits project, there is no other need to pursue that extra 0.5fps
Re: How do I see other partitions on my MSDOS Compact Flash when plugged into my WIN7 card reader?
Posted on 2020-06-28, 16:12
Windows don't allow partitioning removable storage. You can't for example create partitions on a usb flash drive, and they show only the 1st partition of such devices. I don't know if this can be changed or circumvented, I'm just explaining what's going on. I don't think it's true. I partitioned my …

@Mark_81: I believe you are confused about something here, which I'll try to explain: As Qbix wrote, Dosbox delegates playback of midi to the host system, eg Windows. So when you play midi, Dosbox is not playing any music. That's why your recording is empty. Which means you should record it from …

HJSplit is a popular utility I use rar in these cases, the windows/modern side can create backwards compatible multi-part files and on the retro side even the dos version has a nice gui to easily decompress them without searching for the correct parameters.

Just select "auto" in types 120GB on socket 7 is not common at all, but not unheard of either. I have an Intel m/b with an official BIOS that supports that size (At the same time there are slot 1 m/b that don't go above 32GB!)
