even if it didn't work i couldn't see it damaging the machine in any way unless you severely failed the soldering job. if i get around to it i'll absolutely let y'all know. I agree, I mostly just don’t particularly want to go through the effort of modding the unit if it doesn’t actually accomplish …

i noticed the machine technically supports up to 16MB and the RAM chips are just soldered in... been debating on and off if i want to install some sockets and just slot in the max amount of RAM to see if it'd work. the only issue would be sourcing compatible chips. X) I don’t wanna be the first …

That... is very useful. Thanks! I was scratching my head thinking of the best way to do a clean Win95 install on here to troubleshoot; the image'll save me the effort. Glad I could help! The way I ended up doing a clean install of mine (I switched it to Windows 3.11) was to mount the CF card as a …

I'm decenty impressed although the lack of serial is a bit of a pain -- on the off-chance it might work I tried some bios options and passthrus and gender changes on a few different devices (serial tablet meant for cad work, a serial trackball, etc) and none are particularly pleased at being …

Anyone figure out if there is any way to click and drag with the keyboard mouse setup? The system appears to only register one key at a time.

Mine appears to have a defective battery or charger; no amount of charging (even leaving it overnight) results in it keeping any charge or being able to power on the laptop for even a split second; as soon as I remove the 12V cable the laptop powers off. Anyone know what the two voltage readouts on …

The CS4237 doesn't have unlimited inputs, so analog signals from both the wavetable and pi go to the same line input on the crystal chip. You select between them using jumpers on the board. Which means you could probably run a switch to the jumpers and mount it on your case somewhere if you wanted …

As a side note, I forgot to level-shift the keyboard/mouse data and clock signals going into the rp2040, but it seems it can happily cope with what I measured to be around 4.8V without complaining - even though it's not rated to be 5V-tolerant. Definitely something to address later, but nice to see …
