To expand on what keropi just said - I'm definitely no expert compared to keropi and all these awesome guys designing those new cards but hopefully I will not make a fool of myself: The whole interest in those "new old cards" is that they're able to make games and other productions from that time …

... Ahaha man, I promise I mean no offense, everyone's entitled to an opinion, but that was such a bad take and it only got worse by reading more of your answers. It is so obvious that you're using two different yardsticks to compare playing games (that you admitted to not particularly like) and …

I've had a Sony Trinitron with an obvious green tint, which looks pretty similar to the kind of issue you're having, and I've been lucky to have someone point me to hardforum.com post sharing the software and tutorial to restore it to its former glory using a simple USB to TTL adapter and a software …

Ola guys! Really really happy with my MK8330 so far :) I am currently using the regular drivers that are available on the card's website, but will switch to Unisound with the latest changes. This brings up one question to me. The official drivers write the SET BLASTER as T4, SB Pro afaik. I expected …

Just counted them - I have 24 of the yellow PCB ones, and 24 of the green PCB ones. Hope they could still be useful for something, or maybe the chips themselves could be useful to create new SIMMs (@Tiido for example?)

Hey, I found a "secret", semi-abandoned IT storage at my new job. As you can guess, it was exciting and amazing :) Not so many spectacular things in there but still grabbed a few interesting/userful things, more floppies than I'll ever need in a lifetime, floppy drives, CD drives, various cables ( …

Happy Birthday Vogons! There's no other place like this one, what an amazing collection of information and resources! I noticed I was often better off making searches with "site:vogons.org" than letting search engines do their job 😁 I'll also be 40 next month...damned

I was 5 years old in 1987 when my dad purchased an IBM XT at work. They were replacing their computers and selling older ones to employees. I was instantly fascinated and hooked, and it never stopped and pushed me towards a career in IT. The best memory was the day my dad brought home a sound …

interesting, thanks Roger Pierre :) I will make some tests to try and see if that's indeed a contact issue?

Sure, they both work fine with a true AT keyboard. I'm using an old PS/2 generic keyboard, and tried another HP PS/2 keyboard I had lying around, no difference. The PS/2 keyboards behind the adapters receive some power as the num lock etc.. light on and off on key press. But the BIOS gets stuck at " …

I have mixed results with PS/2 to AT keyboard adapters, mainly: - 2 older 486 VLB motherboards are not happy with them and give a BIOS Keyboard error on boot and just won't work (tried several adapters and keyboard combos) - later SS7/Slot1 motherboards have no problem with same adapters and PS/2 …
