got this little hunk of plastic today :3 it had been modded on the left side so there's a hole there, but that's way easier to fix than the other case I found for a reasonable price, that had the whole floppy section cut out ^^ Filename hardware39_65.jpg File size 148.62 KiB Views 1837 views …

well... don't ask me how the plastic didn't shatter. I unscrewed the frame and snapped it back together, but I can hear loose parts inside will have to take a deeper look :c ...would have been in really good condition too. Filename welp.jpg File size 118.04 KiB Views 805 views

when you expect a package with a nice computer and CRT inside, and you hear the postman coming, so you go down and look out the window, and sure enough :3 you get rushed with excitment, as you watch them rolling the package off the bed, dropping it onto the road while a few other packages come …

I have found listings like that before... but all the ones I found have also been found by others apparently and either ended up too expensive or were snatched up before I had the chance :p

well I bought my MT-32 for €50 from a local classifieds yes, but that was a once-in-a-lifetime hit and while yes, those deals do happen on classifieds occasionally, your chances to actually get it are just as slim as those are usually snapped up immediately. and yes you don't find those on ebay as …

I still don't get where the "overpriced ebay" cliche comes from... I've definitely made most of my best deals on ebay, you don't ever look at "buy it now" prices , that is not the actual ebay market those items never get sold. on the other hand most people on the local classifieds here will look at …

picked up this vintage trinitron for €5 today 😁 feels like it needs new caps though, but the tube is working, I'd date it around 1992/93... didn't find anything on the monitor but the manual talks about anything up to 486 compatibles but not Pentium and TCO'92.

there's nothing preventing you from doing it apart from space constraints by the component (and connector) sides facing each other, they're sharing the same slot position after all.

neat :3 the video probably really doesn't do it justice though ^^ if you don't have any other means of recording you could use the mic-in on your camera if it has one maybe?

I wrote a lengthy post on his Patreon explaining what might have caused his continuity probe to appear "dead short" (though if you look closely, the meter says 15 ohms), he mentions this in the follow-up video. tl;dr My educated guess is it's either the primary of a transformer, or the degaussing …

yeah, I think all the SB32 cards lack onboard ram.

CT3780 for example does not have any ram expansion slots, and is clearly labeled AWE32 ^^ this are the designations that I have in my list: CT3930 - Sound Blaster 32 IDE CT3600 - Sound Blaster 32 IDE PnP CT3620 - Sound Blaster 32 PnP CT3670 - Sound Blaster 32 PnP CT1920 - AWE Upgrade - Goldfinch …
