You just take a sharp blade, get the cut started, pull it apart like string cheese, fuck up, start over on a new cable. This was a fun "hack" before rounded cables became popular. As for the 386, Bravo. I dare say I have not seen a more tidy setup than that.

Just in case anyone wants a link to the auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162360925581 Shipping is too high for me, so I wont be bidding. 🙁 It would not surprise me if people are bidding just to fuck with you. I hope not, but dont let it surprise you.

This whole situation has given me some mixed feelings. Personally, I would release the source code. If anyone came to my door, I would have told them to go eat shit and die. That said, I have practically nothing to lose (monetary) at this point in my life so the risk is minimal. However, if I was in …

I also have a 1ghz slot-a chip and I have a "good" board for it. I'd make a system around it, using win98, but I dont have a good heatsink for it. I really want an old Alpha cooler, but I've almost given up hope finding one.

The other day I tore down my dual 771 xeon setup. I dont normally consider micro-atx a "tiny pc", however considering it has dual 771 quad core xeons, i think it would qualify. Even made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHOOxMq7Hxs *** WARNING Shameless self-promotion ***

WHAT THE SHIT! THIS EXISTS? But seriously, your issue is likely: (in order) 1. software 2. hardware incompatibility 3. hardware malfunction This looks like a windows 98 kind of device. Also, does the manual state what KIND of parallel port you should use? There are different modes and they are …

if the $150 includes shipping, its actually not THAT bad. There are not a whole lot of other options besides finding one local, and 10 to one its not going to be NOS.
