Unboxed my newly aquired Amiga A600 with external fdd and tested to see if it was functioning correctly. Yip party like it's 1992 baby!! I know it's not x86 but...............
There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

Yet quite retro in terms of computers...... 😉
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.

Had a blast doing some retro setup and testing of my newly aquired TNT2 Ultra 32mb AGP from creative.
Passive cooled.... Tried it in both K6-2 and Slot1 Celeron systems, and tested out how far up in driver versions I could get.
Untill the system just gave too many errors, before I reverted to 5X.XX drivers for this baby.

Just testing some old gear, starting with Socket A stuff. Got an NF7-S given to me as a dead board up and running. Next thing to do is update the SATA firmware so it supports 2TB drives.
Went on to test out a GF3 board - seems to be nVidia reference, with part number P50, thought it was a Ti200. Sadly it gave an error code on POST. I took the HSF off - turns out to be a Ti500. Might try the oven trick on it and see if it can be brought to life at all ...
Iam being busy with dismantle my Laser XT/3 8086 machine and starting cleaning.. Also the insides of the power supply gets a nice dust free clean, so everthing would like usable again.

After several weeks talking to someone on #VC about dialing my terminal controller into their AS/400 system we decided to give it a go today after he assisted in finding me an image of the microcode boot disk and partially configuring everything.
It started to work but there's still a few issues with configuration. The controller overrides the modem and makes it immediately try and originate a call even though no number is programmed.
He also forgot to plug his modem in before he left work. 😒

Yesterday I installed a NL educational program about saving energy from 1990. That was a lot of fun. 😀
Just got my Interplay 15th Anniversary Anthology Disks.... Time for some gaming fun.
Just a guy with a bad tinkering habit.

@duncan.
Your 4DPS might be crying out for a fresh button battery. 😀
Seems the symptom anyway, or bad cache or tag or its timings.

Yeah, why not have an AS/400 in your living room? 😎
Part of my education was programming COBOL on an AS/400... not fun for a teenager, but I have respect for these systems now.
AS/400, System i, i Series were/are exceptional machines; highly dependable and secure. They are like A10 Warthogs. Almost nothing will manage to bring them down.

Agreed. The company I work for still uses an AS/400 system for accounting I believe. It's been rock solid for over 25 years.

You can never have enough RAM sticks IMO

Replaced yesterday bios-battery to Thinkpad 380 ED wich I trashpicked last weekend. Now it boots without any faultcodes 😀
Since the Macintosh Plus repair became a bit more involved than I expected, requiring me to take out the oscilloscope and isolation transformer I decided to check out the UK Apple IIc I got along with it. Made a compatible power supply out of a 12V 1.5A brick I had lying around and a female DIN5 plug to which I drilled two holes for the extra unused pins, built a null-modem cable for data transfer and dug out & cleaned a QuickShot Apple/IBM compatible joystick I had buried in a box of techno-junk. Fired it up and got a pleasant surprise:
The computer is outputting NTSC video in full color! 😁 So I sat down and played a few rounds of Retro Fever. 😀
Nice. I remember having one of those joysticks on my first x86 box-a clone 286/16. Never did find out where it disappeared to. .
