Americans escape from hurricanes in the south/east, tornados in center, earthquakes in west, yellowstone in north/west, army invasions not needed, new york hurricane is possible too. nowere is safe. Still not quite getting the connection but I am known to be a little thick. Don't forget Manbearpig!

I hate to say this but that is actually a "subwoofer". Also common port for stereo speakers would be just stupid. Good news then, it not really is a subwoofer as a pair of tiny stereo speakers AND a slightly less tiny one, dubbed a subwoofer. It's a complete 2.1 speaker system in a 5.25" drive bay, …

Thats not a subwoofer, those are minute stereo speaker with an orifice mimicking a bass reflex system. They are bound to sound like a dying mouse in any case, but the idea of 5.25 bay speakers has been around for a while. For some it might have been the WAF on the table, maybe. The input, well, …

By the way, if you're ordering 5 Pin DIN plugs, be aware there is more than one variation. The right one is the 5 pin DIN with 180 degree pin spread 5/180 ... yes that means it's the same as common audio and midi DIN plugs. A short audio DIN extender may also work as a keyboard extender, but be …

Usually the ibm branded cpus were more tollerant to oc compared to Cyrix. Yep, that's more precisely what I had read about the Cyrix fabs at IBM. They did not outright select their yield and gave the shitty ones to Cyrix. But, they had several production lines and their own chips were made on the …

So if a pentium mmx (0.35uf) runs at 2.8v But a cyrix 433gp works at 2.2v (and is also 0.35uf) Does that mean that the cyrix is under volted? Or is 2.8 unsafe for the cyrix? Dude, there's a reason the P55C maxed ot at 233 while that Cyrix does 300. Those 350 nm were not the whole story. I've read …

In official parlance: The one is a "5-pin DIN" and the other one is a "6-pin mini-DIN that happened to be used by IBM in their PS/2 line of computers and will therefore be forever known as the PS/2 plug". The signal is entirely the same, hence the many, dirt cheap passive adapters in both directions …
