I can't thank you enough for this post, but I'll try: thanks. A lot. Have you tried this software for opening ARC files?

Thought I should update this. I discarded the K6-III build because it was giving me weird hang ups at POST. My current setup is: Asus P2B-LS motherboard Pentium III 550 MHz. (Katmai, will try to get one with integrated L2 cache) Noisy as hell, even at a 50% speed, CPU cooler 512 MB (4x128 MB PC100, …

I'd kill for one of those Medusa cables. Well, maybe not killing, but hurt someone. A bit. Only so. Still, I'd like to have one.

As a matter of fact, they're buffered. I bought them from eBay and the seller clearly stated "unregistered ECC" memory module.
I've never seen memory modules like these

Well, I thought of buying some ECC PC100 RAM for my SS7 VIA MVP3 based motherboard, just because I've never set up a K6-3 with ECC RAM before. So, I bought these modules from eBay, apparently 256 MB each, ECC unbuffered: http://i.imgur.com/cNltHnSs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4GRFSOGs.jpg Bite me if I …

With all my heart and sympathy, Artex: Now, seriously, nice hoard. I've never understood how are you supposed to use the Goldfinch upgrade, though. Also, is that dust on the Leadtek Ti4800SE?

Ah. For a second there I thought there was a Diamond Stealth 24 IC glued to the CPU. Back in the day, and as a joke, I epoxied an old AMD 286 CPU (one of those "Intel marked" but manufactured by AMD ones) onto my Voodoo 5 5500 AGP card just because it had so much PCB space and for the craic, as a …

Almost all my computers save for the slot CPU ones are smeared with ACS5, so I guess they're also special editions 😁
Re: The downfall of Firefox
Posted on 2013-04-12, 21:14
I seem to recall some people thought the shift to rapidly-changing version numbers was basically a "marketing" thing intended to keep Firefox looking as attractive as Chrome or Opera. Chrome, of course, probably updates just as frequently as Firefox, if not more so – only it's a good deal more …

Please, share your SpeedKeys version for us. I think that anything you can offer that we haven't got access to would be welcome. KT7AGuy, of course I can. Thanks a lot, Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman, for all these files.

I'm having all kinds of trouble trying to download this from MEGA - it complains about browser version, then it wants an updated flash version, etc. Is there somewhere else you can host it? Under Chrome for Windows, it works quite well for me. However, here 's a link to it mirrored from my own …

If I understand right you have the typical problem of 4GB of physical RAM installed, but a 32-bit Windows that ignores and wastes ~0.75GB of memory. That's the ideal scenario for nesting a ramdisk in 'The Forbidden Zone', to use the RAM that would otherwise be wasted: Up To 16 GB Of RAM On A 32-Bit …

I had the same basic question as the OP, and now I have a thousand more :D But you guys are incredible, you know a whole lot and then some. I will, however, ask only two: I bought a Roland UA-1X to interface with a future MIDI external module. Is it known to pass the SysEx extension? Can you …

Not exactly retro but I had a Toshiba P3, one of the first Mobile P3 in fact, which had an astonishingly clear screen with a very good color balance. True, the resolution was abysmal by today's standards and the viewing angle was horrible but it was the first PC I carried around in which I could …
