Got myself one of these, which arrived today - https://i.imgur.com/2z8DaeBh.jpg A Sanyo MPC-100 MSX 1 computer. The first MSX in my collection. Was sold spares/repairs with keyboard issues, such as repeating keys and a wonky M key. I had an idea before I bought it what the issue might be, so I …

This rather uninteresting build, but in a supercute case. Great looking case! Bought more cards/etc. from ewaste on the cheap (Diamond V2 is 12mb): Putting the Promise card in my 386 build to replace my Prime2 controller =) https://i.imgur.com/qiYU00q.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8WI1BDC.png Ah yes, the …

Fitted this little DIP switch today to the front of the case in the badge recess for my 233mmx machine. I can switch between 50/60/66 fsb and that will change realtime and I can change the multiplier but that requires the machine to be rebooted for the change to take effect. Might knock up a little …

I am going to use it in my Home theater as a media server. I think it is a cool idea, but I must ask you about power use. To me it seems like a waste of energy for something that run 24/7 and really just are a network storage. My storage server uses 2amp at 5volt. EDIT: And physical space.... That …

Now that it's on GOG it's going to be a Mechwarrior 5 night for me tonight. According to all the reviews I've read the DLC makes the game, so that was purchased as well. Also keeping my RPG eyeballs on this one as well.

HAHAHAHA. Not as much as having a large box full of different sound modules sent from Japan.... Paid way more for shipping than I did for the modules themselves... to the tune of a bit over $200 for shipping. And that was with having Buyee.jp combine everything into one package. But the package did …

I still haven't done that video on the Great I-Almost-Missed-It Winter Liqmatrix Haul, but I did check out everything and move it to new containers. It's been kind of a rough, on-and-off winter and spring, health wise, but powering through it. The sad thing is, I got rid of a LOT of stuff last year …

Nice, I was tempted by that one but with shipping to Aus it was just outside the impulse buy range. I thought it would make a neat pairing with my boxed Cardinal sound card: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=79145 Glad it's gone to someone who will document and archive it properly.

Luckybob & myself streaming today @ 3PM EST. This will be our first and probably only stream with both of us under one virtual roof. Kind of a final goodbye to the Great Pentium Pro Haul of 2018. He will be doing a major unboxing of the final parts I sent him recently since I am exiting the hardware …

Picked up a new old stock Cardinal VGA765 ISA graphics card (c. 1992). Some of you might remember me finding the elusive Cardinal SNAPplus a few years back and archiving that new old stock card over at -0° . Artex ended up with the SNAPplus when I was done. Well, the VGA765 is basically that card …
