@maxtherabbit I think, you got it wrong. Both adapters, the one I introduced here and the one by Matze, were not made to give you any benefit over a normal serial mouse. If you have one, you can continue to use it, if you like. But what can people do, which do not have an old serial mouse? Or may be …

The devil's in the details with these things. There is another MCU based adapter that was shared on the forums here a while back. https://github.com/matze79/PS2-Adapter/ The physical interfacing is trivial of course, but they were never able to get the firmware exactly right. The main hurdles are …

Hello, just in case someone is interested. I dumped a DIY which I used for years now into a PCB and open sourced the solution. It is built around an Arduino, it is simple and dirt cheap. The software can be definitely improved and I know how, but I just didn't have time to implement it. Anyway it is …

I love your channel, I hope you get a good audience, your content is truly original and informative/instructive. When people like Phil who don't even know that windows XP supports more than 2 cores and produce content that any layperson could produce without almost any real technical info, you …

I enjoyed the laptop refurb videos. Reminded me of what I did to my Thinkpad R50e. :) This was actually not the usual content on my channel, I usually do more retro stuff, but this project was also a lot of fun. I actually still use this laptop in my workshop. It has a good keyboard and it acts as …

Just as a suggestion, some documentation on github would help people to understand the intention of your module. All the things, which been said here belong into that documentation. Just to say some of the points: 1) what is it for 2) when is it not applicable 3) known issues 4) BOM May be more?

Nice idea, however as @dionb already said, unfortunately this solution will not work in many mainboards. I mean it would be great to have a universal drop-in replacement like you propose, but there is this issue with the voltage drop. I do modify many mainboards, installing CR2032 there and I always …

Just wanted to say, that I posted a video about CMS reverse engineering work for SB2.0, which was made 1,5 years ago and reported here on vogons. I wanted to make a video about it for a long time, but never have had time for that. Anyway, now it's done and if you are interested in details, feel free …

Digging in an old case I at last found my VG-3000 (OTI037-based) with a very similar looking BIOS setup - which had been missing for over two years. Interested in the ROM, or do you think it will be the same as the one Jo22 uploaded back in 2017? I don't think, that it's the same, because on the …
