I'd be interested in purchasing several (4-5 units), but with a 3 digit display... I have several pentium 233 and k6-II/III PCs in AT cases with missing MHz displays.... ^this and what we really need are those (attachments) as they are very rare and everything else is relatively easily sourced from …

Designed and printed a couple of these... Grab the design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4669790 Looks very nice! I just got an sdcard-ide adapter and have been highly impressed with its performance and compatibility (socket7 system). Are CF cards still used by the majority here? I like …

Designed and printed a couple of these... Very nice. Reaching to the back of the PC for the card is sometimes difficult, and putting the card back is a pain. The only downside is that the card is sticking out of the front side, so you have to remove it, when not using the PC just for aesthetic …

I have this mouse for 30 years now and I'm trying to fix it as it stopped working 20+ years ago (some wires in the cable broken). I already fixed the cable but I'm pretty sure the internal connector has pinout messed up as well - it tries to work but it struggles. I need high res photo of the …

Finished off the RiscPC replacement cmos battery project. Nipped the old battery off leaving about 3mm of the pos/neg posts sticking up from the mobo. Added some solder to them then tinned two pieces of 32 thou lockwire and soldered that to one positive and the negative posts. Bent the positive …

Nice find. I'm wondering where Avid used these cards. This one doesn't look like cards for video production, what Avid normally does. Avid built complete system for video production. I guess it comes from one of these. Also it's cleary made by Creative Labs (even the typography seems familiar). …

This one arrived today. Still trying to figure out what model is this... Here: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/withdrawnbook/mwbook.pdf - it may be helpful, although it may not contain the information about this particular monitor if it came as an element of larger system and was never …

Just got a sweet deal on this thing (asked seller to lower the price very significantly, I didn't expected he will agree... but he did)... It seems fairly complete, but seller says it has some burnt electronic smell inside. Comes with SB Pro 2 and two ISA S3 801 cards. Seller's photos. More pics …

This ultra-cute 386SX system, with cute 9" monitor and some additional stuff. Needs some repairs as the pins in the PSU socket are broken. Perhaps needs new PSU too. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. I bought it mostly for the ST351A/X XTA compatible HDD which seem to be hard to find nowadays.

I got this kinda cool card, I put it in my 486 and it instantly worked. It is like XTIDE except it's OG XTIDE from the 90s before XTIDE existed. Also it fixed y2k bug. It detected my 32gb CF and let me format 32gb. no compatibility issues with my VLB Adaptec IDE controller. It also cost me way less …

The struggles of deciding what build to put in your single AT case. I can't decide between a ultimate P133-Voodoo rig or a DX2-66. Speaking of Pentium, quick question: are the VRMs on these boards suppose to get scorching hot with a MMX chip installed? Benching with a 200MMX and on this particular …
