I think so! I just saw new polaroid cameras at sam's club.

If those are original standoffs, they are taller than I would expect. I see the expansion board propped out by the standoffs leaving less space to a card installed in the next slot over. That makes installation with the plastic shield present more important so as to not scratch up the backside...

I have a modern one... Yes carpet can get nasty to deal with. Wonder if I should put hard floors in my next house.

Something tells me the people making / buying this don't have a desire to have real serial ports. But maybe if you want to use the idc connector with a breakout that's a bit awkward for a little hand held, maybe it can be done? If there aren't integration bugs in the quickly designed motherboards.

Apparently intel! ;) Although I think it's just a misprint. I was expecting more of 1.2M. Pretty sure it was in '92 my grandmother bought a 486 system with 5.25" HD capable drive as an upgrade path. They were still being sold new... and I understand, the media was quite cheap then.

Still seems like oem copies for machines intel sold, if you wanted to add in windows I guess, based on what the additional pictures show. These boxes prominently display intel, and they even have the intel eula. I'm not sure why one would want to bundle a specially manufactured branded full box...

Intel certainly made and sold machines. After all they made motherboards, so it wasn't all that hard to pull together a PC after that. I don't believe they ever sold them in retail outlets. But they sold them to businesses. The ones I have are pretty generic, so I'm sure they sourced things like...

It's probably just an OEM copy that they bundled with their machines. Intel made and sold generic machines for a while. I'm not sure the timeframe, but I am not aware of that far back.

Yes. In the first message, I wasn't too sure if quark was still around as an embedded product. Since you said it was not, I went and checked, but then I also remembered the 32-bit core for the ME so I shared that. So if Intel really doesn't sell 32-bit at all, they do still have the ability to...

They did sell quark for embedded applications outside of their own designs. The original question I answered was how late can you get x86 32-bit cores after Pentium 4.

Well quark might have died, but you never know where the pesky 32-bit core might still show up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine#Hardware

Intel Atom was sold in 32-bit only variants even later. But it does seem like Intel still sells 32-bit x86 for the embedded applications. I think they are all loosely derived from the Pentium M. So the Pentium 4 was just the NetBurst era, and x86 32-bit really does continue to live on. My...

If you read through Scott's posts, you will find Duke Nukem was one of the first games for Apogee, and the logo came a little later. This is one of the first disks they would have sold of the game. Later ones might look different.

I guess never underestimate the value of having a place to rest or prop up things like the original keyboards did. Perhaps it's time to bring back Function-key templates. I think I still have one.

esr says that that unicomp fixed some of the reported quality issues in 2020 retooling. So maybe it's OK? I don't know if I will ever try them though, as I have a box of decent keyboards in reserve for the apocalypse. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/compleat-classic-keyboard/ However, there is...

I'm kind of hoping that they made this one good enough for the internet retro crowd with using SoCs towards their hand helds to distract them from buying up the old non-production ICs that are better suited towards hobby projects and repair of vintage machines.

Maybe your boot panic is simply due to missing the aic7xxx module? When built as a module, you'll need an initrd with the module in it to boot straight to a hard disk. What disk were you booting puppy with?

You'd gain the ability to run two or more programs simultaneously without a performance penalty as long as they don't frequently clash for the same resource. In those days, while it could help a little when running something like a game, you gotta remember that in those days, all games were...

If they are going to go to that much effort, they can start stacking dies on top of each other and then the sky's the limit.

Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk (IMD): http://dunfield.classiccmp.org//img/index.htm It can be used carefully as an alignment tool. In my experience, and what I usually see on those shows, are that floppy drives are dirty or in need of lubrication, and a few times, sensor issues. I would rule out as...
