What are the chances of a windows server? Or using existing windows shares? Linux is a deal beaker for me.
Re: Pci ata133 worth it?

The answer is probably not. Unless you are using a SSD or new sata drive, you're not going to even max out the 66 on the motherboard. If your going to buy a ide card, you might as well get a nice SATA one and a new sata drive (or ssd). Only then will it be worth the effort.

I'd pair a voodoo 5 with a dual cpu system.

AWESOME TO THE MAX! I'm going to try this out on a few 8088's to backup their hard drives.

@King_Couduroy imho, I'd love the opportunity to restore a unit like this. If you want to embark down that path; http://www.vcfed.org/forum/forum.php? is the website to get started. Even if you want to pass it to someone else, that forum would be the place to do so.

Solution: fuck everybody else's opinions. I have this image bookmarked for many reasons: http://i.imgur.com/ZxqkeAo.png I bought a car last year, I had an inlaw bitch to me for 3 hours how he doesn't like the brand of car I bought, and how his brand was so much better.

ebay proxy shipping GER to US
Posted on 2017-02-02, 07:14
Title pretty much sums it up. I'm about to win a ebay auction, the seller won't ship outside germany. Anyone know of a reasonable proxy service? Or someone whom lives in Germany and is willing to be a proxy? I don't know why people don't use the ebay global shipping program. I've used it many times …

rule of thumb: Dont use USB in 95. dont use usb2.0 in 98. it *can* be done, but its not worth the hassles.

So I dont need one. but there are more details here: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?26426-AT2XT-keyboard-converter&highlight=at2xt I think there might be some pre-made …

In the image, there are two NEC chips. They are 16K x 4 ram chips. $5 says the the 2-pin white connector at the top of the card is the missing composite connector. In the other connectors on the left, you can clearly see "RS232C-2" Its just a matter of tracing the pins to the control chip to make …

tell me about it. I also need one of those keyboards for the 5150 i got last weekend. First glance it is a JUKO G7-B, but its missing things like composite video out. The chip directly under the bank of resistors, starts with JUKO, can you give us the rest of the numbers?

With 45 minutes to go on the auction, I had another look. I must say, that is one NICE ebay listing description. If I sold more than 1-2 a month, I'd like to know how to do that. I assume it's just HTML?
