TimWolf wrote on 2023-08-14, 18:07: 137.90 US dollars. I hated being late to the project. I don't know if I overpaid, probably did. I still have to get all the parts. I've been wanting one of these forever and a day to use for music production. I think I'm an artist, but life doesn't agree all the …

This thing found me today, for free! only recently threw the box away, kept the manuals & discs. Cost me about 10.000 Bfr (~250€) at the time (late 90's) I hope by recently you mean like 15+ years ago. I can't imagine anyone who is into this stuff trashing a GUS Extreme box at any point in the past …

Wha-hey! You say you've managed to get an XT keyboard working with yours? What exactly was done and could it be done without modifying the motherboard? Perhaps with and in-between voltage regulator or something of the sort? I don't know what the pinout of the built-in square keyboard connector is, …

Hi! Digging this old thread. Same issue here. BUT I managed to patch an XT keyboard and it works. There’s is a way to send 5v instead of 12v to the keyboard by doing a small mod to the motherboard.

Hi! I have an Osborne Executive and before removing one of its drive to make disks from images in my dos computer, I would like to know if there's a 5.25 1.2Mb floppy drive able to write onto DD disk on a single side, 40 tracks to create 180 kb floppies ?

I get the idea but the layer is a bit too thick worried me, if I add solder paste and heat, I am not sure if the 0805 will sink and be flush with the board. Maybe I should use less solder paste, maybe I am just paranoid because I never soldered on this much pre-tinned board before. I am also …
