Re: Newly made Gravis Ultrasound compatible cards ... what's the degree of interest?

Lol Such hate, I must agree. I love the C64 and 128 but I don't care much for the Amiga although I have a pristine one in boxes.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but hell yes if it was a 1:1 clone that worked on old machine I'd be all over that. Also though someone mentioned Amiga? Could the Amiga soundset be made into a PC compatible soundcard? That would be freaking amazing. 🤣

Hmm yeah I think I'm going to go for one of those industrial ones. Has anyone directly attached a soundblaster to one to see that it would work? I'm thinking of making a very very small Win95 machine.
Smallest Socket 7 Motherboard

Hi guys, I was just wondering what is the smallest socket 7 or socket 5 motherboard available? I would like to make a very SFF computer and make it a Windows 95 machine but I think a regular baby AT motherboard would be too big honestly. Does anyone know if there were anything equivalent to the ITX …

My most recent trash find!!! 1997 Compaq Deskpro 3574. It's pretty rare that I come across a whole computer setup but I love it when I do. :D Someone obviously took good care of it since the mouse and other cables were neatly rubber banded together and popped into ziplock baggies. Unfortunately no …

Nice posts guys! Keep em coming! 😁 Also nice to the guy with the new Packard Bell. I've been after one of the iextreme cases from the Core 2 Duo era but I can't seem to find one cheap. 😒 One of these specifically:

A member of a Facebook group of Commodore 64/128 users hooked me up with a PSU for the cost of shipping and it turns out that my C128 and monitor lives!!! :D https://img00.deviantart.net/b1b5/i/2017/324/1/b/untitled_by_mad_king_corduroy-dbudbxa.jpg https://img00.deviantart.net/acf5/i/2017/324/5/6/ …

Found two more computers, Deskpro 2000 and a Packard Bell Multimedia R515! This is my 15th Packard Bell. lol https://pre00.deviantart.net/fbe6/th/pre/i/2017/322/c/4/untitled_by_mad_king_corduroy-dbu4itk.jpg https://img00.deviantart.net/c080/i/2017/324/7/6/untitled_by_mad_king_corduroy-dbubro8.jpg

Saved a Commodore 128, 1571, 1541 and a 1702 monitor from the recycler today. :D Been after one of these for a very long time so I was jumping for joy when I saw it. lol There was also a STAR dot matrix printer and one of those printer adapters but I decided not to bother grabbing it. Sadly it was …

Nice! I'd always loved these computers. Would love to get my hands on one some day (not that I need another computer though! 🤣). Trying to get my hands on a Spectria Packard Bell but no one seems to have one. 😒
Re: What music are you listening to?
Posted on 2017-10-07, 03:53
Just recently decided to pull out my old 70's stereo equipment and started to get back into 60's and 70's jazz, funk and fusion jazz. I've always been a fan of 70's funk but was misguided as a youth and got into Disco. Now I'm going back and I'm finding I don't really care for a lot of the poppy …

Yeah the compatibility thing is what really makes me hate everything older than a 486 now, I mean I started out all starry eyed but four years later and I want absolutely nothing to do with 80's machines anymore.

15 Packard Bell computers at the moment, 14 work and one needs a new PSU but I shouldn't have too much trouble getting one when I finally get around to it thanks to the fact that Packard used pretty generic PSUs. I have four monitors (one is a bit iffy, needs some work), 5 mice, 2 custom Packard …

Why so much interest in these CD drives? I just pulled another computer out of the garbage with an SB16 and Creative CD drive also 🤣.

Really?! Man if that's true that sucks, even a mundane Packard Bell from the same time can usually go up to 200mhz.

I think they are Masuchita or something however you say that. But I think it may be that model number, I'd have to pop one open to check but I don't feel like it.

Check again cause there isn't a single creative drive in any of those. 🤣

In the process of reorganizing my Computering area personally. Thinking of getting rid of my 80's machines and sticking to collecting just 90's stuff since that's really what I'm nostalgic for. Dragged out my Packard Bell's and set them all up as well as went through my boxed games and pulled all …
