Looking to part with my Honeywell DDP-516. Minicomputer from the mid-60s. Very early ICs. Not going to lie, it'll be one heck of a project to get it going again: CPU has some microPACs missing, the memory bay is completely empty, and there are some parts missing from the power supply. I've made...

So I'm working on a project which is essentially Glitch's XT-IDE and Sergey Malinov's ISA-FDC on the same ISA card. However, it seems to have trouble with the XT-IDE BIOS, and I cannot figure out why. I'm storing it in a 27c128 so I can have both the XT-IDE BIOS and Sergey's multi-floppy...

What it says in the title. Anyone interested in this sort of thing, and if so, how would you use it?

Exactly what it says in the title. There's an A on Ebay, but I'm not sure if those are bootable with an XT. I live in Northern Indiana if someone wants to hand-deliver, but shipping on such a small item should be fairly low.

Exactly what it says on the tin. I'm using the packet driver from HERE, and it loads successfully. The MAC address it gives me in the readout is exactly the same as the one printed on the sticker on the card. I am using packet int 0x60, and IRQ No.7 (the only one available, according to...

So I got this parallel ASCII keyboard with a couple S-100 boards at a garage sale (this is why it's in the S-100 section), but the problem, as you can see, is the busted PCB. Seriously, did someone take a machete to this thing? Model number on the board is "SDR SD-16396" Anyway, there's a...

So, I've been attempting to figure out the power supply off a DCC-116, a clone of the Nova 1200. The regulated 15v rail, used to power the sense lines in the core memory, seems to be a bit high. I've been adjusting it using the trimmer pot, but I can't get it much less than 15.6 before it trips...

I just picked up one of these beauties, and it includes everything, even the power brick, EXCEPT for the cord that runs between the power brick and the computer itself. Also, when I plug the power supply in, there's a light with a squiggle-line (presumably to mean "AC power"), and it flashes...

Today I loaded up the site, and it looks different to me. Anyone else seeing this?

Looking for an IBM PGC, or one of those Matrox cards that are supposedly compatible.

So I recently purchased a monochrome green monitor at VCFMW, to go along with another purchase, an Apple ][. It seems to work well enough, but the picture seems to, every once in a while, bob up and down. I can't figure out why it's happening, and I'm not able to find anything that seems to...

See HERE. -- Original poster is NOT me. -- Poster says everything is free, first come, first serve. I won't be able to be there, but I'm posting here in the hope that someone else will be able to visit.

Will a Toshiba Libretto accept (i.e. boot off of) non-Toshiba PCMCIA floppy drives, such as THIS one?

Title pretty much says it all. Got a Libretto 50CT off Ebay, but I hadn't considered how few thingies it has, and now I need a way to transfer files, unless I can somehow boot off the IR blaster. Located Northern IN.

So. My XT-IDE works now, with a CF card and all. Except when I've got my ST-225 in there at the same time. At which point it doesn't. At all. Boot menu pops up, and looks like this: If I boot from the first "foreign hard disk" entry we get this: ...aaaaand nothing. The hard drive shows...

So, I did a stupid thing, and in an attempt to trail my IDE-CF adapter out the back of my 5160, instead of plugging it directly into the card-connector, I attempted to use a header to connect the two male end of an IDE cable to the male IDE-CF adapter. Abut 30 seconds later, I finally smelt the...

the PSU in my Compaq Portable (pictures attached) is shorted, and has blown two fuses already. Obviously I would love to rectify this. I have already tried the lamp-in-series trick, which confirms a short (lamp lights up just as brightly as it normally would). None of the capacitors appear...

So I found a PC XT clone on Craigslist, bought it, and after some initial cleanup and re-formatting the (still-working!) hard disk it seemed to work fine. However, as I started using it for longer times, I noticed it would always freeze up after some time. Always, it would stop working with no...
