I have a curious problem with an Epson SD800 floppy drive. It's a half height combo drive with a 3.25inch floppy drive (mapped to A in...

Okay. I'm hanging my head in shame, and thanking you all for your patience (and for managing not to call me an f'ing eejit). All I...

Thanks Ruud! I'm not really a hardware person. Actually, I haven't used a PC since about 1992 when I migrated from PC to Mac as my...

Why do the parity RAMs have four fewer pins than the main RAM chips? What chips should I fill these sockets with?
