Ahh, I see. The little box may have a small amp in it, for example, and filters. Can you tell if it's just clipped shut? You might be able to get inside with a spudge tool or a guitar pick. Even if there are components inside, you might still be able to trace which pin on the card side goes to …

This weekend is giveway (or free) weekend in my city. I wasn't planning to even grab anything (especially since it's been raining all day), but happened to drive by this. I was going to pass, but the 2x Mistumi CD-ROM had me curious. http://i.imgur.com/o7e12xgl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Wphkmckl.jpg …

I would have opened up a case with eBay before contacting the seller. It is probably because he contacted eBay about it first is why they are taking the stance that they are. I would go to Paypal as already suggested and open a case with them.

Tested floppy drives. "fixed" a couple of them just by cleaning them. Working on figuring out which drives are actually dead and which ones will work. Found out that all but 1 of the floppy drives I bought in a lot of "dead" floppy drives are just fine. The dead one was a TEAC 3.5". Tried a few …

This isn't new, but just detailed pics of the motherboard and cards that came in that rack mount wave soldering computer I posted in here a while ago. Motherboard is a Tyan S1564. Apparently there was an option for it to have dual CPUs. The Dallas chip is socketed. mb.JPG mb_model.JPG The Red …

Those should be functionally equivalent. The ones to avoid at all costs are the cut-down versions that have no RAM and no connectors for expansion module. Those cannot load soundfonts and there's nothing you can do about it. I disagree, you get at least bug free mpu-401 midi with the AWE64 so at …

Then it could be TUSL2-C. They look pretty much the same. What is the best operating system to run on this computer ? DOS / Win98se / ME / Win2000 ? On the subject of gaming, I would choose either Windows 98SE or Me depending on whichever one you prefer. I'd choose Windows Me if DOS gaming wasn't a …

You can bend the heatsink spring clip so that it is not as tight. That is going to be the easiest thing to do if you already have a S370 cooler and will work just fine. Here are a couple coolers on eBay that specify that they work with Tualatin. I don't have any real experience with aftermarket …

Have a TEAC combo 5.25"/3.5" floppy on the way. Hopefully I can get it working. Seller's pic was kinda horrible so no pic. Also have a Midiman MM-401 v1.15 firmware and cable on the way. I think I am slightly obsessed with different intelligent mode midi controllers. There is a newer version of this …

Received the 5.25" different colored disks today and it just has Adlib sound and music. It is the original May release of it as well so that is nice. So yeah.. not sure what to say about the PCM sound in DOS with Adlib music. The only version I am aware of that I haven't tried is the 3x 5.25" disks …

That one should be fine. I generally buy used or NOS ones off of eBay. A lot cheaper that way. But modular is really nice to have.
