Now my 486 laptop has USB port sticking from one side : …

(I've fixed 2 Conner HDDs if that kind that way and now they're perfectly fine :) ). I as also remember having to unscrew the heads and screw them back on attend least one …

Also little tip for ppl wanting to clone windows 10 installs, especially if you will be shrinking or expanding partitions (say migrating to a new HAD or SSD) Disable the "fast boot" option in power settings and shutdown/restart a few times before doing the clone...it saves you hassle later as it …

For what this machine is (a 400MHz Celeron), my first choice on a PCI video card would be an nVidia Riva TNT2, there are other options I can suggest if a TNT2 is out of reach. My suggested maximum range (since you've said no later than 2002/03) would be either an nVidia Geforce 4MX or an ATi Radeon …

The Seagate SeaShield... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagate_SeaShield ...was little more than a gimmick. I still have a few of the 20 / 30GB Barracuda ATA II drives with the same v1 as on your Medalist, plus some of the later U series drives with the v2 rubber one. Neither was really necessary ( …
