Re: Retro Rig Photo Thread

And for archives sake just a few more: IMG_20240307_160222.jpg IMG_20240307_160244_HDR.jpg IMG_20240307_160258_HDR.jpg IMG_20240307_162621_HDR.jpg Never seen one of the x86 Multias before! The case seems to be the same as the Alpha version, just with different plastic on the front. Looks like your …

Re: Retro Rig Photo Thread

The form-factor is actually NLX - All of DECs PCs after the original Venturis/Celebris machines seem to use it, including the Alpha-powered Digital Personal Workstations (though I assume the Alphas diverged from the standard for the riser due to their use of 64bit PCI). The originators of the NLX …

Very nice PC 3100/FX-2 short-tower! Apparently these machines were the first from a major PC vendor to use the K6 CPU: press release , news article (Though I doubt DEC could have ever truly been called a major PC vendor). I've got a whole bunch of Quantum Fireballs with what I assume are bad …

Never had any trouble with them except for needing to replace the DS12887 RTC chip and their slightly …

Re: Retro Rig Photo Thread

Lately I've been going through my stack of DEC PCs - checking their condition, doing a bit of research, taking a few photos, etc. Here are the ones I've done so far with a few notes.

Re: Digital Venturis FX5150s

Those CRTs certainly look the part for the 1997/1998 era Digital PCs. The -EY fetched out of storage a few days ago is doing this thing to an unusable extent sadly. https://www.zx.net.nz/mirror/h18000.www1.hp.com/legacysupport/digital/images/PC3100_LP.gif For some bizarre reason in October 1997 …
