Posted on 2020-08-17, 13:49

in Marvin \ General Old Hardware

Is it good idea to ALWAYS keep some silica gel packs (perhaps even inside a ESD safe plastic bag) inside retro computers' cases -not touching any board, in a cold location- while using them almost daily? Or maybe they're for long-term storing purposes only? If it's all okay, how often should I …

Thank you all for really useful ideas and info. By the way, I got a PS/1 model 2011 that has a "serial expansion board" and it offers 5V floppy-type molex/power output (the attached image). It's actually unusable there because PS/1 Model 2011 doesn't has any ISA slot so that I could use a Bootable …

Lastly, make sure your image file (the one you want to write into 000 or 001) is less than or equal to 1.44 …

Start from 000 and right click on it, choose "Write image file" and point your 1st setup image of …
