CLEANING STUFF!! I had 3 big(ish) boxes of ram in 3 locations in my garage. Now there are 13! http://i.imgur.com/Y3O5LmGm.jpg Have no fear, all the ram in the boxes is grouped by capacity & type, and bagged in esd baggs.

How on earth is there an MCA computer that isn't IBM? Easy. They paid a royalty to IBM for the privilege. Only a scant few ever took IBM up on their oh so generous offer. NCR is the only one that comes to mind without having to google others. All this because IBM wanted more money for all their …

I knew you can do that. I've just never done it before, start a PC with a screwdriver. Back in 2004/2005 I ran my own web-server out of my bedroom on my 1.5mbit cable broadband connection. It ran like this for years on an AMD k6-2/450: http://i.imgur.com/5zrnU8Nm.jpg Literally screwed to the wall, …

Some preparations before assembling a Slot 1 system. Took my old Asus P2B that hasn't seen power since like 3 years and powered it on for testing. Fitted a Katmai 500Mhz and an old HDD (that conveniently had a Win3.11 install with a proper video driver :cool: ) Just need to buy a case and put it …

that 386 board is an absolute unit. kinda late though, date codes are early 1991. So the last of the 386 era.

so I'm looking it over, and its missing the APIC chipset. So its a single-cpu board unless you find that little board that goes into that little slot to the right of the bios. GOOD LUCK. Bought these (retro) hardware today

At first I thought it was an IWILL DBD100, but the chipset heatsink and bios sticker are a dead giveaway for pc-chips. http://www.motherboards.org/mobot/motherboard … s&mobos_id=M720

Dude, you are making mountains out of molehills. 10mv p2p? What is the target voltage? Anything less than 5% isn't worth the effort, and once you get below 2% the margin of error is what you are reading at that point with that hardware. Local regulation and decoupling will sort everything out. look …
