Not yet. Haven't had the time so far due to stress and working late 5 days a week.

Tested the Dell Latitude D600 laptop after getting it out of my trunk of my car to see if it powered on. It didn't at first, but, after spraying the contact cleaner in the RAM slots, the system sprang to life. The original owner(s) must've wiped the hard drive, so, I tested the HDD in Lubuntu ( …

This is what I got today during my thrifting adventures today: InterAct SV-708A 3-button Serial Mouse* New Western Digital 80GB IDE Hard Drive * looked new to me, but, I'll have to verify. Pics to follow.

I use Mark and the TSR removal tool for the SoftMPU software myself. Copy code to clipboard 1 soft-mpu.bat file info 2 @echo off 3 mark 4 softmpu /sb:220 /irq:5 /mpu:330 /delaysysex And when I'm done using the game and software, I type in the TSR removal command to close out the SoftMPU software.

Test the card first before buying a bracket. If the card works, then you can buy a bracket. https://www.keyelco.com/product.cfm/product_i … 88/checkStock/1 is the bracket.

Last night, I modified my GameBoy Color to have a frontlight on the display, got a new case, buttons (and the silicone ones), some white LEDs (will add to the system later on), a glass screen (better than the plastic screen), and a tri-wing screwdriver. The frontlight, however, started to get dust …

That's an interesting desktop. Looks pretty clean on the inside, which is nice. If there's a NiCd battery in there, remove it before it lays its eggs on the motherboard. Also, I've never seen SIPP sockets before on a motherboard.

eBay has some (US sellers, unfortunately) as other companies, like Mouser, Digi-key, and many others don't have those any longer.

I still call it the AT or P8/P9 connector. There are ATX 20 pin to AT 12 pin w/ -5VDC and Dummy Load (3.3VDC) adapters to use modern PSUs in older systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_(form_factor)#Power_connector The PSUs have 2 Molex 90331 ports (female) and the motherboard has 2 Molex 15-48- …

Sometime this weekend, my plan is to insert it into my Socket 7 system to see if it works or look at the card physically for pins shorting each other out later on today. Also, Windows ME uses the WDM drivers, which had major bugs to begin with, and Windows 98FE isn't my cup of tea (had issues the …

There are also automotive companies that did the same thing as well in the 1980's, like Hyundai, for example. That is mind blowing.

Never knew that Sanyo made computers back then. The only thing I remember were Audio/Video systems, such as TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and so on. I also saw a Sanyo MBC-775 Color portable machine. Also, it's neat to see a new system from 1988 in its box left unopened.
