Not anymore, last one went away a week ago. I expect to start making more next month but I don't think any selling happens until next year as I'll likely go to Norway for a month to see my GF in December and won't return until January. Nice ! I always wanted to visit Norway, though my aversion to …

Very nice to see that the project is going well. Is the usb still a mini port or you're cswitching to the more common micro variant?

Awesome work! I'm monitoring this topic. I'm still available to help with the silkscreen 1-bit logo, I'm waiting for CorelDraw version to be able to open the sourcefile and do a nice export.
Re: IBM External Floppy Drive - what connector might this be?

Hi Beegle, any new on that project of yours? I've got a similar issue (26 pins floppy drive that I want to replace with a standard 34 pins one so I need to make an adapter) so I could learn a thing or two from your experience 😀
Re: How do you feel about old hardware in modern cases?
Posted on 2017-05-06, 13:55
I use industrial cases as they are sturdy, flexibles, look period correct even if they're sometines from the 00's. The only rule I have is not to use cases with a floppy drive "overlay" like yours, because IMO it doesn't look good at all (I prefer straight surfaces, not rounded ones) and tend to …

Power supply fixed: for the reversed votlages it was only a matter of inversed leads on my DMM, I feel very dumb! Regarding the secondary I've changed a transistor (TIP42C) and now I've got a +5V! It was near the 5V wire so I said to me, why not change it, it doesn't cost much ;) Now I'm in the …

Well there is so news, we're approching resolution :) I started looking again at the power supplies. Yes they are two of them. The first one is the primary one and it is external. It converts the 230V~ into three continuous voltages (-15V, +15V and +18V) and a ground. The second one in internal ( …
Re: ISA splitter

Thanks for your answers. I will have to use softcable/flexcable since the interior of my computer is very cramped (it is actually, entirely housed under the keyboard like an Amiga 1200). In order to avoid IRQ issues etc... do I have to ressort to some extra components/chipset and/or modify the ones …
ISA splitter

Hello there, I'm currently repairing a very nice 486 computer housed in a keyboard (!). It's really cool and I'd like it to become my main 486 battlestation. The only thing it lacks due to space constraints is expansion. It got only one ISA port where I'll hook a soundcard. I was wondering if it was …
