It is not any one post I am referencing, rather a collective of posts over the past several years. I never thought that you were targeting me because I have also noticed it in interactions with others. As a few other members have PM'ed me over the years about your sometimes uncordial or …

It would be greatly appreciated if you could edit out some of the emotion from your responses before submitting. I continue to see snappy, somewhat agitated replies from you; it is not just me, but other members have also PM'ed me about some of your abrasive replies as well. There are more neutral …

An interesting consequence of trying to reuse the thin Arduino pins was that I accidentally inserted one of the leads rotated 90 degrees. Oops! I pulled the lead out, but the spring in the DIP socket did not restore to its home position: A-Spring_deflection_0.54mm.JPG The flat thickness of the …

I made it as small as I could, but no matter how I orient the protrusions someone will complain simply because there are so many different boards out there - no matter what you do it will interfere with something on one of them. As for changing the pin header to single row, that's one thing I will …

For reasons which should be obvious. Convenience > all, especially when it comes to repetitive tasks so laziness :) Phil made a mistake destroying comparability with decades worth of old benchmarks. yes perhaps he did, but it is done now and you can call it what you like, but I prefer to say that …

I have over ten thousand data points from before Phil's benchmark pack, am I supposed to adjust them retroactively because someone made a zip compilation? Or keep using what I/we had been doing so that my numbers are consistent? I picked the later. That makes good sense, I don't archive my results …

I've been messing with retro hardware since I got an XT in the late 90s. When Phil's pack came out I immediately switched to it. For reasons which should be obvious. Convenience > all, especially when it comes to repetitive tasks

I bench everything to "phil standard" because frankly it is the most accessible benchmark pack that everyone uses. Expecting someone to change default settings vs extract and go is ill-advised

BIOS is in OTP ROM 27C512 so coudn't be a a bad flash. OTP EPROMs don't last forever. I have one dead nVidia TNT2 with failed OTP EPROM . It is also possible to flip bits in OTP EPROMS by trying to program them again after the initial programming. Any '1' bits in the chip remain susceptible to …

This is targeted at people who tried to do something like the title suggests. What was your reasoning behind it? I'm thinking maybe to see what's the fastest system that can run Win98 and on top of that dual boot to XP. That would cover about 15 years worth of games. I'm currently considering …

Thanks. Ok, Kahneraz is picking everything except: - the two yellow mice (the one on top and one on bottom of the picture - the ISA LAN card - the ISA modem card - HDD They are still up for taking. Bulk-offload will be preferred. I will take the remainder, could use an extra serial mouse anyway :D
