This is my latest buy - came as NOS, but unfortunately without the drivers/software disk. Still have to test it with #3 of my sig TNX to evasive and Doornkaat , I've probably got the neccessary drivers and software for the display :-) ... it's a bit hard to come by. Sorry for any double-posting, …

Shield your VGA feature ribbon cable and see if the noise goes away.

🤣 that price for a clone. Dual layer ENIG board for less than $5ea from JLCPCB/others, $2 assembly fee for SMT, about $20 worth of components. Such a simple circuit board design would take about 10-15 hours if you had a module to copy from 1:1.

Stuck until I at least find some good photos of a real dual board. Project is shelved for now, but I check continuously for sale postings since that is probably the best hope I have to see a real board.

I had to use some CACP01SOXT standoffs (6.3mm high) on one of my 486 cases. I had the same problem with it having the wrong standoffs installed from a previous owner. If you need some of the plastic slider type in 6.3mm, they are found by searching CACP01SOAT. They're readily in stock on several …
Re: Does anyone know a good cooler that I can still buy today new for 775?
Posted on 2020-06-02, 22:11
CM Hyper 212 Black I just purchased 2 weeks ago does indeed have the 775 mounts and fits fine. Maybe they have different versions in other countries. They're next on my list to contact about compatibility. They'll probably think it's a wind-up call asking about 775, 10 years after it got phased out …

If you've got a cooler that supports 775 and newer Intel brackets, do they have a different mount or is it the same for both sockets? It is usually the same one, with a wide hole for all Intel LGA sockets. Not all, but the common mounts with the triple hole style (or elongated hole) support 775, …

Just keep the iron on it for only a few seconds. If you have it on there for an extended period of time to try to melt the solder, your temperature is set too low and all you're doing is pumping heat into the battery

The ACA500+ is wider from what I can tell, and I didn't want it sticking out that far. I also wanted IDE as an option for the future. The price I paid with shipping to the US was also much cheaper than the ACA500+. Individual computers wanted over $50USD shipping out of Germany, whereas the Amiga …

Modern retro purchase.. now I just have to wait for it to get here from overseas.. https://imgur.com/An4IXM6.jpg Interesting. How much does it cost? It is an interesting comparable product for me as an ACA500Plus user.. It's a simpler device compared to the ACA500/plus. But, I was mainly just …

Re: Identify this ISA capture card
Posted on 2020-06-01, 14:12
Usually on tuner cards, they carry the workload of video decoding because the PC was too slow. The VGA feature header was connected to the graphics card to feed the video memory data directly to the capture card so the real-time video could be overlayed onto the monitor.. the VGA of the capture card …

Yes, flights were banned very early, but mass testing started when things were already out of control. We all saw governors and hospitals complaining USA doesn't have enough tests, not enough medical equipment, etc.. My mother couldn't believe how such a rich country could be so unprepared, it is …

I'll take all the first several complaints of yours - good, I'm glad we got out of that crap. Trade war? Good, it's about time. Coronavirus shutdown/unemployment? Never should have shutdown anything in the first place. Protestors and riots? Race baiters that appear every 4 years to create divide and …

Edit, oh snap, I spot a MHz display in the pile of add-in cards hahaha. And 3, possibly 4 older mobo's with ISA. Several ISA and AGP cards. While my inner hardware saviour is screaming at how the boards and cards and just haphazardly stacked on each other, I think you got $25 worth of something …
