A lot of original floppy preservation efforts ended up using Teledisk, ImageDisk, Transcopy and similar advanced tools and formats, so supporting (at least some of) them is a wonderful addition! Great job :) What I think is a decent overview over there: https://forum.winworldpc.com/discussion/7877 …

Why are you worried you wont get your card? Can we please stick to productive discussions about these cards? This isn't the first time this person has shown up to stir the pot. Once, it was to complain about the price of the original board, then to discredit the design (referring to the effort as " …

Today went to grab a Commodore 1930 13" VGA monitor. It's in good working condition and pretty good shape, only needed a deep body scrub. Tube is a bit tired, contrast has to be cranked up pretty much to max to get good colors, but not a bad find at all and should give me some quality time. I still …

As far as I can tell Batman's Revenge exist both with DIN5 keyboard connector and like those, 2x PS2 for KB and mouse. All traces are still present on the board for both. Those cards were used by OEMs and had matching cases (apart from Olivetti, I at least found Gateway and Packard Bell using those …

Hi demonized999, I'm necroposting in your thread as maybe this is still useful to you. I found your thread today looking for other things by luck, so I dumped my ELSA Winner 2000 Pro 4MB PCI BIOS today for you. Will also upload to theretroweb later. I do have the 964 version with the TI ramdac and …

Yeah they're worthless until you need one. I don't have any connections to boundless amounts of low end IT junk, so when I need one it will cost me $20 otherwise, $5 from somewhere that bothers to sell them and $15 shipping. So kinda like finding $20 on the sidewalk. OK I get you now, the whole " …

@BitWrangler not sure if I misunderstood you or missed something, but these tiny wifi/BT adapters are (were?) in pretty much every single laptop in the world. I have them by literal hundreds at work, from old laptops that were too broken to be repaired/reused and stripped of all spare parts. My …

yeah, I guess I kinda skipped that part :D you're using a proper twisted floppy cable? only a single drive after the twist? apart from that, a physical problem with a ribbon cable should be pretty obvious from visual inspection, they're pretty dumb. but if you have another one at hand, doesn't cost …
