I picked up a Lian Li PC-A05N which arrived today which I rehoused my P4 ISA build in. I love the compact form factor of this case. https://i.imgur.com/F84CDmel.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PvsI3dZl.jpg I have one of these cases. Bought it new, might even still have the box for it. I loved how small it …

I have my 486 in the nearly identical case, though mine lacks the speed display. You might be able to 3d print some replacements.

Drove an hour to pick up a nice little compaq desktop for free, has a dead PSU though. I did find the pinout and was able to power the mobo with another psu to verify it was just the PSU.

I went from no Zip drives to a stack of 8 of em of all varieties and a box of disks. Its weird how things just find you some times.

Almost done. Smoke tested and everything seems to work without releasing the smoke. After I get the AT power plugs attached it will get cleaned to remove the flux. First time soldering such tiny SMD stuff, good practice though. https://i.imgur.com/a6dWXuMl.jpg update: So I had it on the psu letting …

They sometimes send more if there was room on the big pcb that they make all at the same time and cut into smaller pcbs along with what I assume are other orders. I called mouser earlier and canceled my order. Wiretap, can you update the mouser project for the added LEDs and maybe with different …

I'll dump the bios when I get a chance and poke around with my clumsy binary ready skills to see if I can spot anything. OK, I feel more stupid than usual. Perhaps I truly have begun to enter my dotage. Here's the deal. The other chip is not a rom at all. I had it in my reader and got out my …

About those slot1 Intel Deschutes, just to clear things up - yes, it is not the stepping but date that governs multiplier locking, that is correct. BUT what was referenced here (S7 vs U7) is part of the sSpec number and is not related to any steppings. And SL2 U7 is a totally different model, with …

Bought this bundle cheap enough to be worth it. IC7 has a pin stuck in the socket, TUSL has broken tabs on Socket and few components knocked off, according to seller. Hope they're quick fixes :D Haven't seen them myself, arrived at a fellow collector in US. How would you fix broken tabs on the …

heh... according to that thread you linked: Yeah, I goofed when typing that up, had too many stepping combinations in my head. Its an S7 not a U7. From what I read about this topic it's more about the production date and not the stepping. 98/16 is definitly worth trying. Simply set the multiplier …

I played the ebay lottery and won :) An unlocked Pentium II 400! Pentium2_400_SL2SH.jpg The auction had no photo of the production date but the description said it is an SL2SH. That's the dA1 stepping so I had high hopes that it could be an earlier model. In any case, for 15 Euro shipped it …

Tinkered with my BBS setup some more. Think I have the dialup part working but finding someone to test with is difficult. Got the notification that my Mouser order finally shipped and my new Desolder pump *not really retro but used to fix em* arrives tomorrow!
