I know all about the VT. Who doesn't know what the fing VT is. It's irrelevant to the conversation. It wasn't a vehicle for displaying hard core data, but rather glitzy glammy cute graphical shit. A cool device nevertheless. But still no high res text to be had. right, you where claiming Amigas …

The C64, nor the Amiga 1000/2000, were suitable for business computing. That was my basic argument from the getgo many pages ago. A person who states a PCjr is every bit as suitable for a business environment as a real PC on account of some aftermarket hacks is going to have an awful hard time …

https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=614267#p614267 ah brilliant that will help a lot, thanks. i know for VGA theres the old NEC Test Pattern Generator floating around that I've used on a win98 and my main win10 rig, i think it also supports win95! think the main requirements for a colormieter …

Suggest a scan converter. https://www.diyretroarcade.com/products/vga-rgb-cga-ega-yuv-to-hdmi-video-output-converter-board-hd-for-arcade-blue Maybe not THAT one, but something similar. There are many such products out there. EGA is TTL video signals, where VGA is Analog video signal. EGA and CGA …

gday picked up a Philips crt specifically 9CM073/00B while it still needs repairs i don't really have any (working) old equip yet to test it out so is there a recommended way to hook up such a crt to a modern pc? also because i picked up a cheap spyder2 colorimeter was hoping to use it with that so …

you should pitch this to some streaming companies, maybe netflix or someone similar would pay decent for distribution rights?

I have this case for HTPC use and I certainly wouldn’t put CRT on top of it. It is a HTPC case meant for TV stand and so chassis has very little load support for the case and it is relatively thin material. It may not collapse completely as there is one metal bar across the case, but case plate …

I have a couple old Lian Lis that I'll probably be buried with, and I opted for the Focus G in grey for my 2005 A64 build I'm working on right now. yeah theres a ton of lian li especially in that silver era that where incredible quality builds. especially ones that had the entire motherboard/io …

I have a Q9550 build in a Modecom Oberon Pro Silent white. It has two 5.25" bays, which I haven't yet put to use, but one day I may put an older mainboard there together with an optical and floppy drives (the latter with an adapter to fit the 5.25" bay). The Q9550 runs considerably cooler than in …

gday after watching this recent LTT video: https://youtu.be/2ixECdC615g?t=147 and at 2:27 got me thinking "that would actually be great for some retro builds" if it was generally avalible outside of prebuilds which it doesn't appear to be, so what are you favourite avalible modern pc cases that …

is there a model of the card so i can 3d design/share/print a case for it? i know my way around blender and got a new 3d printer recently but struggling to figure out an exact case to fit the db25 and ports on this, would save a lot of time remodeling/reprinting to dial it in, I'm guessing some …

gday, I've bought a few yamaha midi modules from japan but didn't realize how unusal the psu requirements would be and since I'm in aus a 230v country i need to buy replacements Yamaha TG100 and Yamaha CBX-T3 both originally used a Yamaha PA-1505 PSU 15v 500mA c+ https://i.ibb.co/t8KTFLk/pa1505.jpg …

thanks for the info, i powered it up and heard some popping i didn't record the first power on https://youtu.be/m3HS09fSIN0 0:00 some clicking when powered up, became less common overtime? 0:24 NEC test suite, high voltage reg test shows an unstable horizontal on a bright image 1:02 notice how the …

Hi so forgive the noob questions but i picked up a KTX CAE565SG and it has soldered in vga and power connectors but the power terminates in a male IEC as shown: IMG_3429.JPG while i do have spare female iec to wall cables i figured id google around a bit first and found this quora thread and a …

ah bummer. but fair enough, i hope there's a backup plan to account for the bus factor

will blank pcbs be avalible with a bom? for those of us with no so great currency conversion rates 🤣

Yes, you can get modern SFX form factor in any watts even 500W. 200 to 300W will suffice. Cheers, is mini-atx the same form factor as sfx? my only worry was a modern sfx might not fit it's weird mounting bracket edit: yup right they seem to be the same, haven't seen a psu described as mini-atx …

gday, picked this up recently and the 98install has a lot of junk with a real slow boot i don't think the owners put all of the original drivers on or there might be conflicts as anytime i install/uninstall anything the SB Live chime and video plays which i don't think is standard. The gateways …
