    Texas Computer Reset in Dallas is still going for just a little while (new LGR video Feb. 2022)

    What I own is less then 1/10th this place had. I wanted to make the pilgrimage. Just too far to be viable sadly. Crossing fingers on something similar in the midwest... :P

    Burned an IC on the Seagate ST-412. How to find a replacement IC or at least recognize the right IC?

    Im going to guess the chip was cracked before the cap let go... I've seen cracked chips do crazy things when powered, including self ignition!

    How to fix the Socket-A Lever issue?

    Take the CPU out and make sure with the level up, you try to slide it in a little more. Either that or the tab on the socket broke off. In that case, hot glue the lever down...

    Noticed one for sale for a honest decent price. Almost grabbed it then realized I would never use the extra ram or RTC. Figured someone here may have more intrest. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156144112413

    Alberta Old non-working full-height floppy drives: Offers

    Sorry, I didn't notice you were in Canada. As much as I love to have it, I'll leave it for someone in Canada as well. If you are going to scrap it, I would love the faceplate.

    I kinda agree, I have a few of these, but Graviis Quickshot ones. Even one new in the box. Cool if you own an XT or PC with the boxes I guess.

    What are good examples of Windows Vista/7 era laptops that can run XP?

    I have a Compaq K6-2 I got at VCF Midwest for 20 bux. Pretty fun little machines, but I wouldn't want to use XP on it. Sadly only thing dead is the cdrom (battery still holds a 20-30 min charge!). To replace it, have to take the entire machine apart, motherboard out and everything. What a crappy...

    What are good examples of Windows Vista/7 era laptops that can run XP?

    There are patches that allow up to 64gb ( Hear the 128gb patch is unstable), I dont see too much an issue...I run the 8gb patch on a Dell laptop with no issues so far, your mileage may vary. As far as unused memory, it can still be used as virtual memory, and can even throw the pagefile on it.

    What are good examples of Windows Vista/7 era laptops that can run XP?

    I would look for laptops with Nvidia 600/700 (760M is a solid option, even plays GTAV) series gpus. Most should work well with XP, minus maybe sound drivers. So make sure to check the laptop audio chipset for audio drivers. Also something cheaper, be AMD A8 based machines.

    Ultimate Pentium Build

    I have a PCI-X Matrox Parhelia with both lead cables if needed down the road. Was going to list it up for sale next few months with a bunch of other stuff. I was using it a while in my dual pentium pro build and it was fun, but since moved it to an s3 virge and voodoo2.
