Are you able to replace the bulb on the right side over the keyboard? Sure can. The diffuser snaps off and there's a little incandescent similar to those old glass cartridge fuses but slimmer. I have no idea where to source something like that. Will you making a video? I'd love to see it in action! …

Looks like it happened. Had a power failure and had to restart my machine this morning. System came up but Steam did not. Steam - Fatal Error Failed to load steamui.dll Initially suspected a corrupt file because I have seen this before so I dragged the file out of the Steam folder and forced it to …

It is currently 25 minutes past the hour and I can still login with an XP client and run Half-Life. At this point I am assuming if I go to bed by the time I wake up tomorrow Steam will of autobooted me off and will no longer reconnect, otherwise it might remain connected until steam quits or the …

Driverguide's such a hard pill to swallow these days. Anyways, that did it. It took a few minutes to navigate through the fake Download buttons but that did get me the driver package. I owe you. >_>

After crawling through what remains of the Appian website on the Wayback Machine it seems the critical downloads were not captured from any of the pages I have tried. 🙁 Come on, someone must have this driver.

Card details can be found at - http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/715-appian-graphics-jeronimo-pro Basically it is a PCI-to-PCI bridge with two separate Permedia 2 based video cards crammed onto one PCI card. Handy for running two monitors and not halving your graphics performance. …

I just want to know what the hell compelled them to mount the optical drive vertically. After all that effort into the enclosure and putting the chassis on slide rails there's $5 in angle brackets from The Home Depot that makes it hang akwardly from the top and supported from one side. It's like an …

It's basically a Logitech BUS mouse with the D-sub connector instead of Mini-DIN. I got a bunch of BUS mice already but none with the D-sub connector.

Initially it worked and had a healthy and non-leaking battery in it. Then I put it in storage for three months and when I got back to it the battery was flat and badly leaking. :dead: I spent several years on and off verifying traces, replacing components, swapping IC's with a known working machine …

Re: Formatting Playstation 2 fat hard drive for use in a 486 build?
Posted on 2018-07-15, 05:10
The last time I handled the hard drives used in the Playstation 2 I found they used rebranded drives with Sony firmware so while they may work in anything else they are very special to the Playstation 2 in that the official Sony tools will ONLY detect and work with the Sony rebranded disks and not …

There was a nice 17" Sun Microsystems branded (made by Samsung) LCD screen I spotted so I grabbed that to match a Sun machine that was rebranded by Xerox. Under windows at least it's handling 1280x1024 but it seems the auto adjust controls are locked out unless it's in DVI mode. http://i11. …
