The only thinng missing from mine is this piece of metal, i really donnt think but could this be the issue? Or the PSU? These metal foils are in general used as shielding. The sound could get noisy but i would say this can not make the sound go away completely. I had problems with a PC not booting …

I also dislike seeing AI generated "art" in the thumbnail. Unfortunately I'm seeing this a lot more lately with retro computing YouTubers and Twitter people and not enough backlash against it. There's plenty of ways to make a thumbnail; we've had Paint since early Windows. Get with the times. To …

You watch one video on a topic or from a person, and YouTube thinks you want to be flooded with more of the same. It's annoying for shorts because I don't think you can block recommendations for the channel. At least I haven't noticed it for shorts. Facebook Marketplace is really bad too. I keep …

Re: Where to find original aluminium Pentium III Xeon stickers?
Posted on 2024-01-27, 03:35
I dont think it is made of aluminium. If i remember right the aluminium ones are flat and the ones with the "fingerprint" design are silver plastic. On the aluminium ones the logo is embossed. on the plastic ones the outline of the text is debossed . This makes the metal ones look "more 3d". EDIT: …

Re: Trust/Aztech sound card is using 2 IRQ's in Windows 95

There should be a jumper on this card as well then. Mine got a jumper to use the EEPROM or not. Maybe try to add or remove a jumper for that option. The JMPCFG position on my card doesnt change anything. I have tried both positions. First i used it wrong because i thought 1-2 is on the left …

Can you post a picture of the card? When i search for it on google it looks like a OPTI card not Aztech. Maybe its the IRQ for the IDE connector?
