I may well be linking you to the orthodox church patriarch or something because I can't understand a word :lol: , but I'm told this is a caps source in Greece: http://gr.rsdelivers.com/ wow, apparently it works...? there are rates for the Greek Postal Service shame that they force you to get 5 caps …

why not, once I discover what the missing regulator is I'll just add it along with the cap, it is indeed needed 😀 also getting a new eprom programmer, a "True usb gq-3x" one from a fellow on amibay, so I can play again with eproms 😀

did an image search, it must have been a nice card for music production ... can't say if it has any "gaming" value though, I doubt it... still it's a nice cart if you are a collector I suppose...

^ ah, missed that... so it's a decent psu at a great price...

I've seen this TB auction, what's so special about the daughterboard? (I assume that's why it went at that price?)

write down one more fan of DNF I've played and enjoyed quite a few modern games, #1 of them being Dark Souls in both ps3/pc (and Demon's Souls by extend to the ps3, both are gems) - I've burned a shameful amount of hours to it... then Skyrim, Witcher2, Sam3, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Bayonetta... …

well, since you are on Linux and would use an emulator any way, why not the amiga upgraded version ? http://eob.wikispaces.com/EOB1+AGA+GAME and http://eob.wikispaces.com/EOB2+AGA+GAME

For DOS there isn't, I am pretty sure you saw a video with the upgraded amiga version by CFOU! , it uses 256color gfx from DOS version and has an in-game map... pretty awesome update. For a DOSBOX environment you can use "THE ALL SEEING EYE" : http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jhirvonen/ase/

I think I found a good AT psu , a rebranded (for a big-player company of the 90s here) Seasonic PSU that uses Rubycon caps (at least half of them) , hidden treasure or mediocrity?

as-is it detects the AMD A80486DX4-100NV8T as an "486 DX2 100mhz" ... had a look on the mobo silkscreen and BC8 that should be OPEN for 3x multiplier has a resistor sodlered ... I give up the whole 3.3v project, it seems they went to extra trouble to really remove the option :\

^ I suppose you left 3 blank on purpose , since we don't really know... I would assume I need to make JP24 a proper jumper and maybe add the rest of the missing 106F filtering caps... but that might not be necessary I actually had 2nd thoughts on this... there is no guarantee the BIOS will recognise …

yeah, that is an old psu that was working on a pIV/GF4200 setup... it was too much for it IMHO but surprisingly enough the system was working fine until last year that I "inherited" it... LOL I've had too much recapping practise this year, no more! LOL I take it from the context that it's a good psu …

exult's scrolling and general speed of the game is way better balanced/timed than the original , at least that's how I perceived it compared to the 386/486 builds I've tried. It's not perfect YES, but compared to the original it's better. And "unfortunately" because personally I'd prefer the game to …
