I would not pay anyone for doing this at any point in time. It is not a question about money. It is more the thing, that I want to do stuff on my own. Too easy just to pay for stuff being done for me.

I bought a Creative CT-1600 as the last thing in 2015. Been looking for such a card in all of 2015. I have been concentrating on getting P2/P3/K6-stuff in all of 2015, and only recently gotten to the point of getting back to early 90's stuff. From now on, I will start looking for old pre-P1 stuff. …

Hell is it with Trackers lately? Sequencers FTW, trackers are for losers! --- Says he who can't figure out how they work ;) Well.... I can't figure out how to use them either. ;-) That said. I have always had a sweet spot for them ever since I saw them for the first time around 1988 or something. …

For me, the point is mostly the build process. From selecting the parts, doing the build and the basic software install (OS + Drivers). Testing/benchmarking is part of that too.

The PAPTX-AGP seems like a strange agp reiser, that can convert x4 to universal. Or is it just me, wishthinking? Actually, this site has some really cool reisers on display, for both AGP, EISA and VL-Bus. Plus other slots... http://www.adexelec.com/agp32.htm#PAPTX-AGP

I do not know what exactly, that I have gotten this year. One thing that I can say. Is that I have nearly managed to get a complete collection of working machines that represent the evolution from mid 80's to the millenia. (286, 5x86-133, P1-166, P2-266, P3-500, P3-933, K6-2-500, K6-3-400) All …
