This is an opinion piece. I’m not trying to diminish other people’s efforts to remember games from a bygone time or make them accessibly and known for the next generation – quite the contrary – I hope to get some deeper and better understanding. Recently we get a lot of retrospectives and replays of …

Unknown ISA card

Posted on 2024-04-18, 07:37

Hi everyone, found a large full size ISA card in a 486 era desktop. Can anybody tell me what that is and what it does. I tried to search for some of the labels and chip numbers, but I still cant figure out what the thing does as a whole (and how and for what I could use it today ). Thanks

20240404_124844.jpg so - the machine is alive - but I have a ton of new problems. The good thing is that the graphic card and the mainboard seem to work fine. That I/O board failed spectacularly with one of the small yellow caps making a firework. I think I wont use that board for now. However the …

Well, its not exactly my choice. Its simply what was installed on the original NEAT bord when I got it. And I dont know if and how it worked on that board either. I actually have never worked on a board with individually socketed RAM nor have I ever used a PC where RAM expansions is done via ISA …

CARDINAL -286 Build

Posted on 2024-03-29, 12:30

Hi everyone – I decided to make a separate dedicated 286 build log. I am sure I will have lots of questions along the way so I may as well document it all properly. I wanted to have (not necessarily build) a 286 for a long time. A few years ago, I bought THIS computer SuperCom.jpg It looked a lot …

It is also worth considering if such a machine may be just somewhere close to you. Especially if you dont want to pay for ( sometimes highly inflated) prices. (see for example this post: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=98980 . )Lots of such machines are still around unused in basements …

Just keep in mind though both OEM and Retail copies need activation which no longer works over the internet and will either involve a phone call or crack. This is correct. On the other hand, since you are also i terested in a Win95/98 machine, this may be a bit easier, since the licence key is …

May the force be with you! Good Joystick is a MUST. A close eye on the tactical maps (before and influght) is also very important. Sound is good but the music is also important. Subtle changes in the tune can hint to a new wave of fighters/bombers departing from nearby star destroyers. Have fun - …
