Yes, Taiwan and Japan is on my todo list. Wife wants to visit Japan. I told her, ok, but prepare at least 2000 USD only for my souvenirs 😁

Hi, Im in Saigon Vietnam for a few months. Anyone here from VN? Does anyone know where to look for old computers? I guess they already melt all gold for money here… More likely the humidity of the tropics would have killed a lot of retro hardware by now if it has not been stored in a controlled …

Hi, can you give advice on where to get some small power supply board that would fit this case? https://aukro.cz/minidesktop-pc-tulip-386sx-25mhz-4mb-ram-210mb-hdd-3-5-fdd-7006312688 It could be also atx. The case could be 3d printed and fan could be added, so the board itself could be enough. …

Yes, I bought a Teensy based solution and helped to fix the code as well. One user is selling it on Ebay, his name is Retromos. But he is stuck in Russia now and they ban electronics export…
Re: "Frequency out of range" when rebooting PC with Riva TNT
Posted on 2022-02-07, 18:51
Did you solve it? I seek a similar problem on Super Socket 7 (AMD K6-2+ 450 MHz) with Riva TNT2 Ultra. It works without driver in 640x480 - 16 colours. After installing driver, only a black screen. Switching to Geforce 2 GTS Pro, which is newer, fixes the problem.

That looks great. I just wanted some travel laptop for old games. I think it does not have a power to run Quake 2 on 640x480, only 320x240 :-D and no OpenGL. But the rest looks good. I got it here for 100 Eur including floppy + cd-rom + docking station + bag: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143656153872 …

Perfect, thank you! That looks good. You know, the parameter you mentioned: MAKEOPTS="-j6" ...that is only a standard parameter for compilation. What I am asking is SMP kernel support, so if you use GUI or have more processes in OS or have multi-threaded app, if the OS can use all 6 cores itself. …

Install Gentoo. :) I'd be curious how long it takes on a 6-CPU PPro/200. :D (or better yet, install Funtoo which is even better https://www.funtoo.org/ ) Care to elaborate, please? So if it takes long, it's not good, right? I'm more of Redhat/Fedora/Ubuntu/SuSE person. Now I'm looking for a set of …

Re: Siemens Scenic 500 510 replace or upgrade display from DSTN to TFT

I understand. This model supports both DSTN and TFT, so switch should be easy. I'm okay with soldering. I'm okay with rewiring the ribbon cable. I'm okay with making custom PCB and even mangling bits from 8 bits to 4 bits or 6 bits to 3 bits. Currently, there is SVGA 800x600 STN. I only cannot find …
