Apologies for the 'holy thread revival' but I've had two machines now that are doing the same thing, but intermittently. I sold the first, a Tecra 510CDT, which started intermittently then died completely with only the power LED coming on. And now my Satellite Pro 430CDT has followed, the CD drive …

Update: It's a Sigmatel STAC 9700. It can be seen in the photograph below. Hope this helps someone. 😀

You're the one with the board, you are probably better placed to say what chip it is exactly than we are. It's an AC'97 codec in any event, but I've not found any pics good enough for a positive ID. It's the small square chip to the rear of the AGP slot. My guess (based on logo) is it's one of the …

Good evening (or at least it's evening where I am), I've been trying to find a W98 driver for a wee while for my Chaintech 6ATA2 motherboard. Does anyone know exactly where one could be procured? Or at least what the name of the chip is so I can work from there. Thanks in advance folks. Ryan B 😀

Currently going portable with my "computing area" since my desktops are out of action at the moment. Using a Toshiba Portege 7020CT and Windows 98 SE. To the left is also a Sony Mavica FD-75. Filename 20220211_173853.jpg File size 1.17 MiB Views 1830 views

Hi there. As the title suggests, I have a Toshiba Tecra 510CDT running Windows 95 with absolutely NO (zilch, zero, nada, etc.) sound drivers for the built in Crystal CS4232 sound chip. I tried using the ones from Toshiba's website but it wanted to decompress to a floppy disk using a variety of …

Hello everyone, To give a little context, I bought a D-Link DE-650 PCMCIA Ethernet card for my 1996 Toshiba T2130CT running Windows 95 (RTM edition from REMOVED had the same problem on OSR1, 2, 2.5). It comes with the adapter thing that allows it to connect it to an ethernet cable. I would have used …

That's a nice machine you've got there! Specs seem somewhat similar to my own PIII setup as well. It's just a shame what happened to that Dell as it would have been a great system to work with. Do you have any plans for it? 😃

Fujitsu-Siemens was used quite extensively here in The Netherlands and were used in offices as well as home use. Their systems seems rather well build using mostly quality parts, though typically not using any high-end stuff when it comes to performance. Their Royalty-OEM Windows auto-activated …

Nice little system, and even if it's low-end, I suppose that that system did what it was supposed to do. The Fujitsu-Siemens systems (99- onwards) were relatively expensive and under powered compared to whatever we built ourselves back then, but they were fairly dependable as office equipment. My …

Hi all, Until today, I never considered posting this little gem up. It is a 1998 Fujitsu Ergopro E366, a simple restoration and upgrade that led to a thousand tiny and annoying jobs! It arrived here with a matter of things wrong with it, nothing was connected, there were no screws and it really …

Hi! I'm just back on here. May I just add that I'm UK based and therefore I have had to rule out a few coolers. However, I am taking everyone's suggestions into account when looking around. Ryan

Hi! I've just joined here. I own a variety of PCs and motherboards. In my collection I have an ASUS A7V400-MX with an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, running at stock speed. In the BIOS Hardware Monitor, it is reaching temperatures of 55°C before booting into my OS. The cooler I'm using now is an AVC Cooler, …
