Sounds like the devices were partitioned/formatted with different C/H/S values than the ones currently set in the BIOS. How would I check that, and how would I do that in the first place? :) Here's what I did: - Go in BIOS, auto-detect HDD, pick "correct" settings - Boot on floppy, fdisk a primary …

Simply fantastic! So I had already tried Image Restoration several times with no change whatsoever. Today I received the USB-TTL adapter and already fixed a proper cable two days ago, so I could go ahead with WinDAS today. After a bit of struggling with making the software work (in the end I've had …

Hi there! I installed a CF-IDE adapter and also tried a PATA-SATA adapter with a 2.5" SSD in my 486. Both are working fine, BIOS HDD auto-detects everything fine, for the SSD LBA is supported so I can get up to 8GB out of it. The computer is happy to work with these devices, fdisk them, format them, …

Thanks dionb, great stuff! Yeah the ALS100 picture is crap, I will have to wait until I receive the card and will share more info if you're interested. Some user called Rabanik wrote to me to ask for more details on the Dream chips markings, but it seems I'm still too much of a newbie to be allowed …

Good, thanks for all the nice input. appiah4, I'm not throwing anything away 😀 I will probably make some tests and benchmarks first. Long-term I'm not sure at this stage, but I'm a hoarder 🤣

Going link to link from what you shared, and other links I found, I ended up on this thread that seems to be some kind of mother of all threads on this problem: https://icrontic.com/discussion/19549/dell-p1110-monitor-too-bright/ So glad I posted here and you came around ShadowofBob, you're the man! …

Great I found a local cheap USB-TTL adapter, that should do it. I also found a "cheap" i1 DisplayPro, i've been wanting to get a calibration device for a long time. I hope I'm giving this beauty a new life! 😀 thanks to you again

YES! You just gave me a lot of hope 😀 I actually found by myself one of the links in that thread you just shared and was currently reading it: http://www.piclist.com/images/com/geocities/w … /gregua/windas/ I'm currently looking into sourcing a cable, if you have any tip please let me know!

Many thanks ShadowofBob! Image Restoration I already tried and made 0 difference. The WinDAS calibration's interesting, I quickly glanced over the link you sent and it was a lot of info, quite overwhelming, I need to take some time to go through it :) looks like I'll be needing hardware? I'll read …

Yeah, fair enough. Some of them I have interest in, and will get them in anyway. I was just wondering if some had something special about them I was not aware of and would have missed!

Fair clarification 😀 actually a bit of everything, basically usefulness and power, and also potential rarity. Not thinking about selling at this point, but would consider swapping or if someone was particularly interested in something we could always discuss !

Hey guys, I have access to a whole bunch of GFX and sound cards. By looking online and searching the forum here as well as vogonswiki I found a LOT of discussion and information, but as I am trying to evaluate the worthiness of these exact cards I could get I thought it was worthy of its own post :) …

Thank you for the service manual link, that can be very useful! I did reset the screen and it's definitely not normal, even after a factory reset. As said I can improve it by using the color adjustments and controls, but it's not great, there definitely is an issue.

Hello, and thank you! Thanks for sharing the article! That was a great read. It's true that we immediately associate high voltage with danger. Also thanks for all your good advice - I definitely don't want to risk doing more harm than good, I really like that screen and would love to give it a lot …

Hi guys, Long time reader, first time poster. I recently broke the promise I made myself to stick to emulation and never purchase old PC hardware, and honestly couldn't be happier (and coping well with my wife's eye rolling, haha). Which means I'll have a good reason to try and be a more active part …
