Re: Awesome CL Pickup

I have to ask, how are you finding this stuff on Craigslist? Obviously unlikely in the 'free' section, but I've seen nothing even remotely close to the newest vintage of stuff in this thread Really? Free section is where I got a free C64 and 2 disk box holders full of C64 disks. Required emailing …

Added more to first post. That Panasonic is one of the early rugged laptops. Those were built to military standards for endurance IIRC. I remember there was one model I read about that was supposed to be able to withstand being ran over by a car or something. It survived battery leakage. Seems like …

Yeah, I mentioned as much in the OP. But again, sometimes I have time on my hands, and not so much to do. This time I happened to remember I had this small thing sitting in a corner of the server room, and decided to give it a go. I don't have a lot of older hardware that might interest most here, …

Optiplex SX270(N)

Another random old-ish PC project I've been tinkering with! Found (again, in a corner of darkness) one of those SFF PCs that were (for some reason) very popular in the early-to-mid-00s, before the P4s were phased out (and this would make (more) sense from a thermal, noise, and performance standpoint …

Well, I tried the canned air in the drive real quick. No effect that I could discern. Of course, then shit hit a fan it found by the side of the road, so I didn't spend a lot of time on it. Will keep trying, though! Thanks for the suggestions!

Just make sure to get approval first :D Sweet! Thanks! I …

@DracoNihil, that is possible, but the drive on the 'target' machine is having issues reading, not necessarily writing. It doesn't usually get that far into this. I can still read/write that same floppy on any of the original 'formatter' computers I've used them on. While I can't really rule out …

Odd Windows 95, CPU-Z on floppy

So at work, we seem to have some kind of HVAC system, that's controlled by a PC via serial cable. To my knowledge the only time anyone uses it, is when there is a configuration change, or for physical maintenance of associated hardware. Anyway, it is running Windows 95, has an old Pentium with 16MB …
