Re: Phil’s latest video - Voltage Blaster

So Phil is still alive? Haven't seen him for ages on Vogons. Also, some cons of this design that come to mind: - Wastes an ISA slot - Misses further blocking caps of 100nf, 10uf etc - No heat sink, no fuse - The 7905 misses vital parts mentioned in the official 78xx/79xx datasheet! Diodes, caps etc. …

Thanks! I was hoping there was a way to do this without having to spend more money or time looking at the XT IDE route. Is there no other software that works do use on a floppy boot for overal? p.s thanks for support and time Hi! I'm kind of a fan of XT IDE Universal BIOS, because it fixes the …

An easier workaround, though, is to use your current Windows installation to copy the contents of your OSR2 cd to somewhere on your hard drive. Then restart into DOS mode and run the installer from that location. I think the same. Win 9x Setup has that bad habbit of forgetting to integrate a CD-ROM …

Hi, just wanted to let you know that this project isn't dead, just delayed. I'll likely continue working on it somehen this year. In fact, I'm playing with other TOS/TNG ideas right now, too! ^^ The application seen below is intended to display images sent by high-altitude ballons, for example. I …

With all due respect, why buy a system based on a CPU architecture (x86-64) that is essentially dead in the water in the MacOS world ? EDIT : I mean a new system at MSRP. Sanely priced used x86-64 macs can make probably make decent Linux/BSD/Windows boxes or run soon to be legacy x86-64 optimized …

Re: CGA Replica / Potential New-Design CGA Card

A CGA card with HGC+-style RAM font support would also be interesting. Or a HGC+ clone in general. Interesting idea, since both CGA and HGC (aka MGA) are using the same CRTC and can co-exist, even. They are like brothers, so to say. That's why I added a HGC clone in my XT class PC in first place, …

Re: 20mhz 286's

Posted on 2021-03-06, 15:52

Harris originally planned on offering chips up to 33mhz but had too low of yields Would have been quite interesting having a 286 that ran circles around many 386 machines +1 The 80286 was a "limited", but serious design. - Limited in so far, because the 80386 essentially was considered a real …
