Yes... When he does that, I normally say: "Så har vi fået en kasse-kat", wich translates into something like: "Now we have a box-cat". (translation for those who does not understand Danish) Well... I don't have those tools to remove chips. And I do have an ET-3000 card, wich are looking even better. …

I think the seller is a Vogons/Amibay member! :) I especially like that "Free Computer Technology, Inc. CACHE 486 ISA BABY". That is an awesome name for a motherboard, I bet it wasnt for free though! https://th99.bl4ckb0x.de/m/E-H/30243.htm It is all part of a hardware-swap. Giving something and …

Got a package today. Testing the stuff as I am writing this.... So happy with this. BIG thanks. When everything is tested, I will be cleaning the stuff. I will be using the ATX and the P-II for a build that I have promised as a price in a retro-competition. So far, the ET4000 and the controller was …

Im watching retro related videos on Youtube as my nose has been running constantly for 36+ hours. I do not get sick often, only once every other year or so but when I get a cold it always seems to be the worst kind which dosnt even allow me to sleep. Coughing, with a burning sensation too? If so, I …

My Voodoo3 2000 PCI has the same heatsink, but 8 memory chips, other components in completely different placement and many more the the really small surface mount components. It's weird just how different they are in layout. I'll add a photo later. edit: photo added voodoo3.jpg Looks a bit like the …

I am in the process of restoring an Hewlet Packard DC-7600-SFF machine, and have pimped it a bit. So far, 3ghz Socket 775, 2gb Ram and an Radeon-X550 PCI-E card. It is running WindowsXP as a temporary solution, because it is easy as a platform for testing. What it will be running in the end, I …
