Right On another missing schematic diagram has been found, No more manually redrawing out the PC100A 8087/Memory adapter module with all...

Sounds reasonable. It takes a pretty serious shock to damage an RL pack, I have not seen one go bad in my 30+ years due to shocks. Pack...

I'm swimming in weird ISA cards. Among them is a Gilbarco multi-channel gas pump controller, at least two ISA-based tuner cards (one...

Perfectly logical thing to do given how many older tech fabs they're bringing up. I'm waiting for one of them to start building 5v...

Yes, it has been going away for a while now.

Well, there are things you can do to improve your homebrew enclosure. For example, it appears to be entirely missing the Digital...
