The belt is accessible on top, however, there's a catch: you'll have to remove the floppy diskette mechanism and protect the data heads from touching each other. As I stated, it's complicated. If the belt isn't too stretched out, lubricate the motors and put it back together. I can't tell if it's …

Got my hands on something of a grail of mine, a Compaq LTE Elite 4/75CX. Unfortunately my particular example is not happy about its hard drive and its floppy drive sounds very troubled as well, but I'm hoping I can get it back up and running. At least it already has 24MB of RAM and thus doesn't …

Mostly I'm just trying to find some of the Sony software that would have come pre-loaded on this computer, as it has both composite video in *and* an "i-Link" connector, which tells me it would have come with some kind of video capture/editing software.

Ahh after reading the user manual: You need the Jog Dial Navigator Utility. Found references to it with descriptions of use. Actually found the English version 1.1.2 under a similar Sony VAIO PCG laptop drivers archive. Will add it to the library tonight with a description text file and extracted …

Compaq Prosignia 500. I bet this things weighs more than 20kg, it's built like a tank. Pentium 150MHz, 16+32MB RAM, 2xPCI, 4xEISA slots, onboard SCSI and an EISA SCSI controller, SCSI CD-ROM and some kind of tape drive (maybe DAT? would be interesting to test drive it, if i find suitable software …

It is SP3, I generally only install SP3 when doing fresh XP installs because I figured there was no reason to go back to SP1 or SP2. No problem ! One quirk is that some older OEM stuff was never designed to support newer OS versions than the OEM intended. The driver chinny22 pointed to will not …

I actually did have to reinstall XP as I somehow broke my install. I wish I had the Vaio rescue disc but unless it's been uploaded to Archive.org, I doubt it's out there anywhere. Which version of XP did you install ? If it includes SP3 that could be why the Graphics driver fails to install. XP and …

Anyway, I've tried again to install video drivers after finding a version of DDU that DOESN'T crash but I still can't seem to get video drivers to actually install, the installer finishes but then after a reboot I have Code 28 in Device Manager telling me no video driver is installed. One …

I also have a mystery device labeled "JGD-U01" with hardware ID "Vid_054c&Pid_0096" but I can't begin to know what that is. Just googling for "Vid_054c&Pid_0096" gives me "Sony USB Jog Dial"... There is this weird roller and "Back" button on the trackpad but thanks to Sony nuking their old …

I tried running a XP compatible version of DDU but it would just crash upon trying to run, maybe I needed an older version. My hardware ID is DEV_0175, so that would be the 16MB version. I also have a mystery device labeled "JGD-U01" with hardware ID "Vid_054c&Pid_0096" but I can't begin to know …

Cant find any official drivers but you can try one from Toshiba? (first one I found) https://download.cnet.com/NVIDIA-GeForce4-420-Go-Toshiba/3000-2108_4-193574.html This is a different file than the one I tried before that didn't work, I'll give it a shot. EDIT: It didn't install a driver at all …

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-NVR23 laptop and I'm trying to install the drivers for the Nvidia GeForce4 420 Go graphics onboard, but every time I try it blue-screens the computer, and always with the same exact stop code: PXL_20211031_032531717.jpg Googling this stop code didn't provide me very much …

Gigabyte GA-6BXDS CPU support

I have a PC with a Gigabyte GA-6BXDS motherboard and currently two Pentium II 400MHz CPUs. What I'm curious about is, does this board have support for Slot 1 Coppermine chips with the most recent BIOS revision? The manual mentions support for a CPU up to 633MHz, but I don't think Intel ever made a …

This system has a slightly complicated history behind it: the case/power supply/drives I acquired a week ago when I visited my college for a homecoming event and raided their e-waste pile, but the motherboard I actually got two years ago and the video card a few months ago. The motherboard that came …
