A "recovery" program that cannot even be told the drive letter isn't something I'd trust with any disk. It would be wise to try and create an image of the disk first, *before* you try any recovery tools on the disk itself - especially if it's already started going kaput. Hardware solutions like a …

Howdy ya'll. I have what seems to be an unarchived (at least in the places that I've found) Big Blue Disk Issue 7 and I was testing it out for awhile (it was working) and ended up with a General Error. I cleaned the drive and I attempted to clean the floppy however ended up with the same general …

Howdy ya'll, I was recently sold a Gateway 2000 branded EV700 as a used but "working condition". So I received it and it was well enough packed (could have been better but I believe it did the job), however when I plug it in I hear a click. And when I press the power button the LED lights up and I …

Excellent! I knew my memory was hazy, but that is exactly the image I remember. It definitely looks like they removed it post 911 then.

...are there any PCI FIrewire/USB 2.0 combo cards that have inputs for front panel connectors? Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-Firewire-Combo-PCI-Card-Front-Panel-Hub-/380294254955 Guess you could either use their hub or plug your front panel connectors onto the cards own pin …

I got it to work, where I screwed up was misinterpreting the initial error of the ribbon cable. I ended up testing by B drive (real floppy) and found that I had the data cable plugged in wrong. Which means that I initially plugged it in right and the Gotek wasn't working, so I reverted what I did …

I wish that there was more helpful/easier to find information on Macs of this era. I too have an Emac that just went up and died (no idea what happened, just wouldn't power on one day). Also two G4's that just went up and died (again, power button didn't power on the unit, great). Troubleshooting is …

I remember having this issue as well. I'll give the USB update a shot, as my PCI card has the headers but I haven't been able to get either the front or back ports to recognize devices despite showing up in Windows 98. Also, are there any PCI FIrewire/USB 2.0 combo cards that have inputs for front …

So well over a decade ago I threw away all of my PC Game big boxes (huge regret, did it after high school, moving out, etc. etc.). And I have been attempting to get them back. Granted a couple of the games are quite uncommon, especially the boxes (for instance Turok). One of them Alpha Centauri I …

Howdy everyone. I have been having issues trying to install a Gotek into one of my PCs. And trying to do a search of the blasted things seems to yield only Amiga results. If I get an Amiga and go that route I'm sure the internet as it stands now will be helpful but alas... Anyway so step by step of …

Cool! I have a bunch of different power supply, well things I can use in order to test. I'll have to investigate those further to see what does what so to speak.

Hello! I recently bought a kit, and I just put it together tonight. However I ran into an issue where I misread the values on the resistors. Resistor 7 I believe. I tried to remove it but ended up losing a solder pad on the bottom. I attempted to transplant it by using the top of the board. I …
