Re: Making a Cable - Solder or Butt SPlice

For this application, solder is the way to go as VGA cables pack their conductors fairly densely. In places where you're using lugs, a high pressure crimp is even better.

Make sure the switch is rated appropriately. Something like 250V would be good. Also, it's good to shrink wrap the spade connectors to prevent accidental arcing.

Sorry to disappoint. Those USB to PS/2 adapters are more like PS/2 to PS/2 (there's a PS/2 chipset in older mice that switches on when hooked up to a PS/2 port).

P3 CPUs are pretty mild in terms of their demands so it might do okay even with a 12V heavy design.

I've heard of it being done with decoders that can squeeze out every cycle. Maybe with MPXPlay or even DOSAMP/DAMP. A 486 is probably too slow for Winamp. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=32671

Your first step should be checking the caps, MOV, and diode pack for any dead shorts.

Re: ATX I/O shield models for 3D printing
Posted on 2019-02-18, 19:22
A 12 oz spray bomb of Ni doped paint covers about 10-12 sq ft (theoretically) at a cost of about 4 CAD per sq ft, so it's not really all that much for a small item like an I/O shield. It gives anywhere between a 35 to 60 db cut in EMI power up to 10 ghz. https://www.mgchemicals.com/products/emi-and- …

And that problem can be resolved with a 26 wire ribbon cable and 2x13 box header. They're easier to find these days due to the popularity of the Raspberry Pi 1.

His testing is not really robust enough to know if volume resistivity is in the range required for EMI shielding, although testing would certainly be inexpensive to complete as the materials required are inexpensive. Based on his relative testing I suspect the home made stuff is somewhat effective …
