Isn't ISA obsolete? Just for clarity, my computer is seven years old. Not really new but recent enough to not support ISA.

Okay, there’s so much info on there I wanted a second opinion. Thanks.

Could someone have a look and tell me how many watts my power supply is supposed to be? If I understand it correctly it's 350 watts, right?

Hi, I have been trying to find a picture of a tv my parents owned back in the 80s. It was a tv made my Philips and they bought it when moving from The Netherlands to the United States in 1984. Apparently it was suited for use in both countries as it was used for several more years after moving back …

Last night I spend about *3 hours* fighting with the boot order on a 1998 HP Kayak. That thing has the most frustrating, clunky, slow BIOS and boot procedure of any PC I've ever used. If I could lift it I'd throw it out a window. After 5 minutes of pre-flight theatrics on every reset, it …

well the hard edge is already a good marker, so all the rounded ones are out Meaning it's very similar to a Philips Leonardo 938, but: without the round edges. And I don't think it had the two large black buttons at the bottom of the control panel. Who knows any Philips Tv model families that could …

Going through some old photo albums, here are two fragments of old photo's I found: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ly6VTORzJUDkJDrg3A7qef2ds2QWvc08 Unfortunately I could only find two pictures showing part of the tv. One shows its right side with control panel, speaker grille and tube. The other …

Are you sure it's not this one: http://www.marcelstvmuseum.com/Philips%2020C938-22Z%20chassis%20KT3%201980%2001.html This one has the tuner drawer. I have owned this one, but mine had a weak CRT.

The channel display and the buttons in the original picture posted by me are identical to the ones on the tv I am looking for. The tv in question has no speaker or controls on its left side and I forgot to mention that while it indeed didn't have turn knobs there was tray (the size of a large box …

Yeah, and the button layout in the photo appears to be rare. I’d almost start to believe my memory is playing tricks on me.

The drawer displayed in those images is very similar to the one I described. Also, while the majority of those old tvs have a square or rectangular speaker grille, the one I am talking about had a round grille.

Yeah, I caught that after posting the code here. But cool that someone actually took the time to run the code. *^_^* I was going to have stab at adding a digital clock this weekend (if I could find the time), switching between analogue and digital with F1 or something. Your clock looks great! I …

Was playing around with my 286 today. Not having touched QuickBasic for close to 30 years, I wondered how long it would take me to make analogue clock. Turns out, about an hour or so, had to look up a bunch of stuff I'd forgotten about. Still heaps of room for improvement. :) DECLARE SUB drawClock …
