I need to learn to read the forums before attempting my own stuff haha. Anyway... I basically ported over DOSBox's IPX server to a .NET 7 library and put it up on nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/IPXRelayDotNet It properly utilizes sockets by implementing IDisposable and currently has no …

I took a crack at making my own launcher for our LAN parties many years ago when I was just a poor PHP/JS dev. Well, over the last couple of weeks I've been putting work into a new project called LANCommander. Think about it like Steam, but you have full control over the client and server. The …

I personally love soldering large QFP's, but they can be tricky. I usually drag solder while using a microscope to verify. Absolutely not something everyone has access to, obviously.

Do you happen to have the manual for this board? I can't find it online anywhere.

Got it, so it's used more for overlaying graphics, e.g. a TV tuner overlaying MPEG2 frames.

I'm working on a new build and had the thought of running the VGA output of the Voodoo3 through an HDMI adapter. I was wondering if the pinout for the SLI header is known and if it has a video signal that can be tapped into without having SLI enabled. Looking at the pinout of the main die itself I …

It's be really nice to have alternate launch commands with configurable title. Sort of like how Steam does it: https://res.cloudinary.com/lmn/image/upload/c_limit,h_360,w_640/e_sharpen:100/f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto/v1/gameskinnyc/9/0/5/905a591cd9ed8ff.png This way you could allow users to still access …

I got this really nice NoS board the other week and I've been having a hell of a time trying to determine what model board this is. With the SiS 85C460 it doesn't look like I'll be able to drop my extra 486DX2 in it. Either way this is for my secondary TV-only machine so it doesn't matter much. Any …

Sorry for the bump, just wanted to update with an answer for anyone that has a similar problem. As I stated previously, I plugged a KVM in using a PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter and it completely burnt up a trace. This trace was for the 5v line. The pin I connected to in the second picture was not the …

but the original trace thats burned is not connected, I guess can't tell without looking at the other side, but why not connect the jump wire to exact where the original trace went? The pad on the other side of the via is barely attached to the substrate and I didn't want to accidentally tear it …

Well, I'm giving up for tonight. The system will now boot with the keyboard attached... sometimes, but it's throwing a keyboard clock line error. I'm assuming something is wrong with my connections, which I'll have to test further. Also recorded a video of the machine not wanting to boot with the …

And of course as soon I posted this, I found my issue. The keyboard 5v line was the culprit. I'm about to boot it up and test, but for sake of satisfying potential future Google searches, here's my fix:

I've got a Gateway 09-00144-01 that I blew out last year by plugging a KVM into the keyboard port. Instead of the fuse blowing, it conveniently burned off a signal line running from the keyboard connector. Where I need help is identifying where a trace runs. The trace that burned runs from F1 (next …

Restoring bit of your history, nice. I guarantee you'll enjoy it. Its probably a blessing that the HDD's died, makes the decision to upgrade or not much easier. You have a few options. You could try the Promise card, Seems to be drives and documentation here https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f= …

Hey all, I made my family keep hold of my first PC for obvious reasons and I'm putting the time in to get it running again. Specs: Gateway 4DX2-66V (Intel DX2-66 obv.) full tower 40MB RAM 1x5.25" Floppy 1x3.5" Floppy 1x Tape backup drive ATI Graphics Ultra Pro - Mach 32 3com 3C509BC ethernet card …
