This address was working for a long time now, I've discovered it months ago. Weird they still hadn't patched it up :) What is there to patch? Working as intended. :kiss: ... On a side note, I wouldn't mind hosting FTP stuff for distribution, if it wasn't a pain in the rear end. Not even worth it …

Great timing (double entendre intended), as I'm likewise looking at upgrading and maxing out the RAM on my new old 486 system I'm building. The motherboard specs call for 70ns, but what I can find in 72-pin, non-parity, double sided, 5V, 32MB per stick for 128MB total on matching sticks is 60ns. …

I'm not sure what you mean. They come pre-charged. I was just thinking the motherboard would more or less sustain them, if not slowly charge them, since they have such a low self discharge rate. It depends on the voltage the motherboard charges at, and I guess it also depends what the drain rate of …

I'd go with a 3 cell pack of Eneloop AAAs, and in fact, that's what I plan on doing with my 486 board I just got with this 3.6V barrel pack. NiCD and NiMH cells have similar voltage and charging profiles, so that shouldn't be an issue. Eneloops have very low internal resistance for NiMH cells, …

They're exactly the same in my experience, excluding some minor differences in CD-in headers, etc. One of them is missing the socket for the effects processor chip thing that isn't used for anything. Thanks. I was also wondering if the CT2290s suffered from occasionally lower performing components …

Thanks for all the great information on this forum, including this thread, and others. I'm slowly making a pre-1995 DOS 6.22/WFW 3.11 era computer and looking at picking up either the CT2230 or CT2290. I was leaning toward the CT2230, but with the various potential issues mentioned in this thread, …
