Found my jazPiper when moving house recently. Found batteries inside, which had corroded :( Fortunately, on internal inspection it hadn't spread so I used a vinegar solution to cleanse the affected parts and reassemble. It works :) 20160425_183422-1200x2133.jpg My musical taste hasn't changed much …

I (unintentionally) bought this hardware today. It popped up on the eBay thread and I thought I'd give it a shot. My first PC had an Adlib in it, which I sold to someone at school for a tenner when I upgraded to an AWE32. So in the spirit of recreating my first PC, I've been on the lookout for an …

I did this, as the main storage on my 386 machine. It is purely for cosmetic reason's. :-) Just had to share, because I feel this is an awesomme idea for my build. Mate, that's genius. Particularly from my point of view because, when I bought my adaptor, I got one with a female interface. This …

Fair enough. What makes it all the more frustrating is that a friend gave me his copy back in the day (we used to Deathmatch in the office at lunch time) and I can't find it! I bet there's a copy in a charity shop somewhere...

Unreal Tournament for Mac Installer

Hi folks, just trying to establish something. I have a retail copy of UT for the PC. In many such cases (e.g. UT2004) this qualifies for a Mac license too (Quake III has Mac and PC partitions on the DVD) but I can't find any information on how to do this if it is the case. Or do I need a Mac retail …

Went through my motherboards and pulled out two that were clearly damaged but that I hadn't got around to testing yet. Harvested the good components for my ever- increasing capacitor collection. Took a photo of what I found under some of the caps on a crappy slot 1 board - capacitor plague at its …

Trying to find a better BIOS (from other 694T boards) for the ECS though,it's a pretty nice board (after I recapped it,I ain't trustin' those green OSTs on it) but the BIOS on it is pretty bland,if not really boring as it can get. Yeah this is an issue I'm going to have as it has the OEM's crappy …

The tech at my school knows to give me anything he would otherwise trash so this time I received a Packard Bell iMedia system. I usually turn my nose up at such systems but, after investigating its specs, I found a Tualeron under the heatsink. Never had one of these so was curious (makes a great …

It's been a long task but I see a light at the end of the tunnel. And turns out anyway, the 160 GB drive is lots newer and faster than the 40GB I had in there for XP anyway, so this is going to turn out better in the end than when it started anyway. I feel your pain mate. I don't think experience …

Would be good to see pics of the dock connector. There is a Desk Station V Plus, which I've been trying to find for my Tecra 740CDT and your model is a very similar form factor. Your model is not on the list but then neither is mine but I know for a fact it's compatible. Minuszerodegrees.net had a …
