I have found one internet page on the subject (https://www.jagshouse.com/modem.html) of directly connecting dial up modems. And there are a few youtube videos. Non have left me with a clear idea of how you would directly connect two modems (PC's through modems). Specifically wanting to work in a...

I'm working with the AWARD 3.01B BIOS (setup) Its pretty plain Jane. Text. No user variable HD settings as far as I can tell. You just get to select a number between 1 and 83. Wondering if there is a list out there someplace for HD parameters for each number entry. I found one page yesterday...

So been searching for info on this printer. Can't even find a pic of it out there. I'm starting to wonder if its JDM or made for some country that has 100 volt mains. Was hoping to finding a manual and some idea of what part number ribbon cart would fit. I tried looking for a driver in Win XP...

Looking for a ribbon dead or alive. Most interested in acquiring / recycling the plastic end parts of the ribbon assembly. Also need the software for the printer. My printer came with a floppy but I guess its corrupt. The printer was NOS in the box. Everything there but a ribbon. I think the...

I was Googling this yesterday. I see a few projects out there. What I was looking for was some sort of break out box that a person could plug into a volt meters inputs and turn the volt meter into a clock display. I have a collection of old Heathkits an such. The nixie tube meter would make a...

Buddy just gave me a 896FP and I can find nothing online. Not even a pic. Its like it has been ERASEDtm LOL. I would like to find a PDF of the manual and ribbon cart good or for recycle. Or what other models might share the ribbon cart. I also have a beautiful NOS ALPS ASP 1600 that works well...

As stated. Its a basket case. I took it apart about ten years ago or more. I think I have found most of the parts that it had to begin with. I never had a keyboard, monitor etc. I don't know if it had a HD when I got it. At any rate might try going CF card route on this one. Way back when...

Maybe this topic has been beat to death. But I'm new here and haven't noticed any recent threads. I'm really not fluent in the whole world of LANS and WANs. In this modern world our devices pretty much do it all automatically. If I'm using an old set up and I hook it to a local LAN to share...

Need to order another roll of solder. The life time supply an elder gave me has run out. I believe the solder he gave me was lead and rosin and was about 1.2mm in diameter. What would be a modern equivalent. I was sifting through Mouser and found I was did not posses the proper lingo knowledge...

I thought AT power supplies might turn on entirely by the front panel 120v switch. Maybe not? I have a bunch of AT era PSU's spread out on my work bench and was going to go through them and test for voltages etc. Do I need to install a jumper across two pins like on the ATX PSU's? And if so...

I dragged this old PC out of storage. Been sitting for a while no mobo battery. Installed new batt. Tried to boot. Got stopped at the BIOS it wanted me to manual set CPU speed. But could not get any keyboard action. Cycled power with the addition of a keyboard change. USB to PS2. Got to the...

I have been hording this old 386 for many years. Thought it was time to have a go at bringing it back to life. End goal ATM is maybe loading some form of DOS and using it for trying BBS. I'm into HAM radio so maybe if I can figure out how. Maybe BBS over HF. There is a further introduction, what...
