    Why isn't there an annual Denver show?

    https://www.reddit.com/r/dataporn/ Denver is ***LITERALLY*** an island of population. It was founded by people on the Oregon Trail who took one good look at the Rocky Mountains and said; "Aww hell, nah". (I'm not serious, but i like to say it) Do I WANT an official VCF? Hell yea! Do I...

    What microchannel hobbyist goodies are out there?

    As I understand it, the MCA memory cards are slower than the 'onboard' memory. I haven't tested it personally, but it probably doesn't matter all that much.

    What microchannel hobbyist goodies are out there?

    I mean, Everything you "need" is already taken care of. sound cards are well covered. the MCIDE and BlueSCSI, have effectively eliminated the hard drive pitfalls. There are floppy disk adapters that let you use standard drives. If I was to wish for anything, it would be replacement ram...

    Thinking about Linux . . .

    I remember seeing this on Imgur. I cant wait for the slack/arch chimps arrive to start throwing feces. And for the record, Win10 will be my last microshaft OS. So I'm hoping for an update to Biebian before the end of of win10 support. https://biebian.sourceforge.net/

    You know what seems to be extra rare? Pentium II and III Xeons.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/176578254738 you guys are WAYYYYY to slow. I let that sit all morning. Thanks to all the savings I have from not having carpet, this was a "OKAY" price. And for the record, 99% of the decision for the purchase was because I don't own any 133mhz slot-2 boards. I'm...

    You know what seems to be extra rare? Pentium II and III Xeons.

    hell i'm already having a hard time finding SIX overdrives... well, AFFORDABLE ones. And 2 of the 5 I have are sealed, NIB so I don't really want to open them if I had another option... so I have only 3. I do think I have Eight of the 900/2M/100 2.8V P3 xeons. it has taken a decade to get...

    holy crap, the tone of the thread took another damned 360 degree turn. I thought I was being quick and witty.

    You know what seems to be extra rare? Pentium II and III Xeons.

    I'm going to have to agree with the Gargler on this one. They might have made millions of these devices, but there sure as hell isn't millions of them floating around. And I would call these systems interesting and having value. and for the hat trick: I'm going to ask that you unclench that...

    You know what seems to be extra rare? Pentium II and III Xeons.

    I googled that system and the board I see looks like a bog-standard dual opty board. I count no less than 6 fan headers. I either have the wrong board, or someone has done something fucky to the board you have. And to be ON-TOPIC, on-topic - i found this little gem of an auction...

    You know what seems to be extra rare? Pentium II and III Xeons.

    No ducking way. I believe that statement about as much as "carpet can be clean". Every "server" board ever made has had fan sensors since the late Pentium era. I mean even the cheapest Taiwan special motherboards in the Pentium 2 era had at least CPU fan headers with speed sensors. I demand...

    You know what seems to be extra rare? Pentium II and III Xeons.

    A grail you say? like this? or like this? https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=65669 I just got a metric shit-ton of ram for this beast (its arriving Wednesday). All I require now is ONE last ppro-overdrive chip, and i'll be damned if I pay ePay prices for one.

    OH MAN.... I miss 2CPU... And EOCF. oh that hit me right in the feels... (EOCF is still around, but its a literal ghost town.)

    NEC multispeed laptop

    the solution to the battery problem is simple. You go out and buy as many ni-cd cells as you need, that match the size and power of the originals. I've noticed a penchant for the "C" size cell for this era of laptop. You go and buy some nickel strip from your local vape shop that almost...
