Hi xicor. Hope you have good luck with it and that when you finally get your clone board working, lemme know. 😀 I'm happy I found it a new and caring home.

I'd also gladly spend quite some time there, even if it was just helping setting up auctions \ sales on ebay. There's loads of NOS Stuff there.
Your (feasible) dream retro PC(s).. do you have them?
Posted on 2019-05-22, 23:40
So, I'm wondering what is your dream retro PC, preferably one that is in your possession, or if that's not the case, one that could be assembled cheaply. I'm asking this for two reasons: 1st, I'm really curious about what each of you considers a great build. 2nd,I'm going to have to downsize a bit, …

So.... I was killing time on YouTube, when I catched this Livestream recording of a major sale happening on Texas. Dunno if this is of any interest for anyone but I felt I should spread the word. I'd pick up a couple of systems (who am I kidding, I'd pick up a lot of stuff) if I wasn't across the …

I managed to reinstall 98 to the Gigabyte GA-8I865 based machine (no XP), and it seems to be working nicely with 98SE now. I did solder a 3x2 pin header to the sblink port, and made a couple of sblink cables (which i'll put up for sale on the other bay) since buying one is impossible. As soon as I …

My mistake... It is a PT8 Neo-V. I do not own any 754/939 board. As the board I picked hasn't got the sblink header nor do I have a cable., I've since built another tower with the following: - DFI CA-61 - Pentium III 1.0 GHz - 512MB - 40GB HDD (subject to change) - Sound Blaster 16 CT2520?

I've installed a fx5200. I'm currently fighting with dual booting xp and 98 while making both oses have C: as their boot drive (but they're on different partitions). I wonder if ATI GPUs are that bad for late dos / win9x games... I've bought a 9800 AIW from someone (lol) that I was planning on using …

Heh, I totally forgot I had a Gigabyte GA-8I865GME-775-RH. That one ticks most bells (S755/AGP/Intel 845) I've already set it up with a Q6600 (why not?) and a Gig of RAM. I've installed Win98 SE and I'm currently in the process of installing XP to it. Now... for a Choice of Graphics Card, i have …

Hi. It seems as I'm getting older, I don't have much patience for older \ slower systems, specially with their "issues". As LGR said once, "you really need to dedicate a lot of time if you're going the old hardware route" or something similar. I'm not aiming for older dos games. Having said that, …

Got myself an ISA Diagnostic Board and with the original PSU, all the voltage-related leds light up, clk, irdy, frame light up too, but it shows no bios post codes... I've tried it with and without the ISA VGA Adapter... Any ideas on where to go next?

Is this EuroPC salvageable?
Posted on 2019-04-09, 18:46
So, today I've acquired a Schneider Euro PC. It seems every month there's a new 8088 based PC available in my area :) Sadly and as I was expecting, the battery leaked and pretty much all the contacts are tinted blue/green as photos show. Is this salvageable? Shall I bath it in vinegar and scrub with …

The PSU I frankensteined didn't have > 12v rail.
Re: Help me fix my Schneider Euro XT?
Posted on 2019-03-11, 13:46
I don't really have the time to troubleshoot it, nor to recap anything. I might give a go at Frankensteining a PSU that has good rails measured and if it doesn't work I'll leave it at that. Many thanks for your time and input but it seems it's going on eBay soon. If someone from here wants it, do …
