Cool build! What kind of kit do you use for the temp sensor and display?

After I receive and solder mine, I'll be able to test it on a modern-ish PC (a Quad core AMD Opteron running Ubuntu)

Yes, I mean what isn't good in the "no-diodes" case? Edit: I want to buy one, just need to decide which one 😀 Particularly interested by amber output (I love the old amber monitors)

What do you mean by color change?

Hi, interesting project! I have a question: for the regular (non-PRO) version, which one will give the best Amber output, the one with the diodes or the one without?

At least the kmart accepts standard motherboards. Presario uses a proprietary one with horrible ISA/PCI riser wobbling around.

I've never been much interested in games and mostly use my rigs for music production, writing, programming and various DIY activities 😀

Now, the bios I'll be following this: https://vswitchzero.com/ms6160/ I'll let you know how it all worked out. Did I brick my board or did i not? 😁

It's a great modular case by the way, main cover and face plate opens without tools and the drive bay has locks instead of screws. The only negative I see is the absence of a reset button (not any different from any modern hardware). It also has the non-standard front panel electrical connectors (on …

Turned out this CD drive was also scratching CDs! This one goes directly into the rubbish bin...
Re: Using Atari SM147 monochrome monitor with a PC?
Posted on 2019-10-07, 12:24
As far as I know, the 147 has similar circuitry just bigger CRT size (14" instead of 12"). It' expects the same 640x480 70 Hz input as SM124.
Using Atari SM147 monochrome monitor with a PC?
Posted on 2019-10-07, 09:55
Hello everybody. Did anybody try to use this Atari monitor with a PC? I'll be getting a complete Atari 1040 ST + SM147 very soon and being able to reuse this CRT for something else would be nice 😀

You had to have a XP Pro to be able to run the bi-proc boards if I remember well?

Next. With HDD jumpers set to 32GB limit, it happily boots and detects the drive. For some reason it's showing 550 MHz instead of 533 - no idea why. Will have to live with that :D Sadly, my Geforce 2 card didn't want to work, had to install later but less period correct Geforce 4 MX440/64 MB. I …
