Updated the BIOS on my T40 to 3.23 then replaced the old 1.5GHz with a Dothan 1.7GHz. Replaced the BIOS battery and added a mini-PCI wireless card (BCM943224). Unfortunately, it's whitelisted so will have to dig up after a workaround. Any suggestions, much appreciated. Windows XP got wind of my CPU …

Grabbed this T40 locally (Pentium M 705, 768MB Ram, 40GB 5400 clunky sounding Hitachi hdd, Radeon 7500). Cleaned the Keyboard and the fan, upgraded to 1GB Ram, ordered a replacement Pentium M 735 (same speed 1.5GHz, but cooler and with 2MB L2 cache), a 120GB ssd and a sata->44pinATA adapter, a mini …

Could be my apartment, same carpet, same window blinds, etc. All these same gray/white/[random-bright-color] apartments are popping up all over Aus the last few years. And yes, you need more retro :) It's a townhouse but yes, modern prison style architecture, unfortunately. Have two projects coming …

Sort of gave up looking for one of these for my AST Pentium 75, but this fella arrived in the mail today, in fairly good nick. Now just have to find the time to put everything together...

That's a cool setup. What's the specs of it? In my heart, that's a 486 DX4 100 with 16MB Ram, 1GB hard drive, 3.5 Floppy, CD-Rom 4x, Sound Blaster Awe32 and a wonderful Sony 17" CRT. In reality, it's a dual core Athlon 1GHz, 1GB Ram, 8GB SSD, ATI something video card, wifi, LAN. Plus the Sony S71 …

My office, a work in progress. 2020 27" iMac, i7, 64GB Ram, 500GB ssd, 5500XT. Brilliant machine for home office and light gaming. In time, I'll buy a bigger desk while the current small one will host my beloved AST Pentium 75 (sitting in the far corner). Anyone willing to sell a Sony CRT in …

Thank you gentlemen. I'm already using the mTCP, brilliant piece of code. The packet driver @Vladimiro and @Caluser2000 suggested only appears to work, giving a nice status message when launched but nothing works afterwords (net wise), not even ping. I'll try mr mbbrutman's approach and give it a go …

Have tried several other packet drivers (8139 and older) but without success. Can ping the outside world but there's not really much else I can do (telnet, ftp, etc) without a functional packet driver. Any suggestions? Have found nothing on the webs on the 8168 (HP ThinClient T420) Thanks. 44.jpeg …

I once lied to my friends (who all had sound blasters and cd-rom units in their 386s and 486s, too expensive for my parents to afford at the time) that I have Dune 3. For months I had to come up with excuses for not being able to show them the game or make them a copy of it. It all ended up in …
