I need to find out how to configure the jumpers, but I don't know what card this is. The chip is a UMC82C862, but many IO cards have this chip. I don't know what information on the board can help me identify it.

Hello,

I just found this never opened Windows 95 CDRom, it's the Chinese version for Taiwan. Do you thinks it's valuable or I can trash it?

Hi, I installed the msdos 6.22 on my old pc, however it lacked the msherc.com driver, which I need for qbasic. Do you know any sites from which I could download it to floppy and copy into dos system?

Hello everyone! If this is not the appropriate subreddit for this question, please let me know. I am entirely new to this.

My dad gifted me this Dell Optiplex GX100. I learned from messing with this thing, that older PCs needed sound cards…

I bought a sound card for it that I believe is appropriate (PCI Sound Card Creative Sound Blaster CT5803 AudioPCI 64).

I have put the sound card in what I believe to be the correct slot, but it almost seems like it is not fitting snugly in the slot? It wiggles side to side when I barely touch it. I would understand if it is the incorrect model, but I do not think that is the case from my research.

I guess my question is, if anyone knows, am I just using the wrong part? Or is it possible I am not pushing it down hard enough? (scared of breaking it).

I will include photos of what I see. additionally, if anyone knows if I should be concerned about the brown spot damage in the photos, let me know.

If there is a better sub for this, I’d appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction. Thanks everyone in advance!

Hello,

found this at my local recycling center. hyped to test it once i get it all cleaned up. it is quite tiny for a baby AT board. i cant seem to find any model numbers on it.

Anyone know more about this?? It's in tip-top shape, two small cracks on the monitor from age, and one keyboard key who knows where.
Some old keyboard function that is deprecated on modern pcs

Is this a really good find?

In '93 I ended up with what looked like a white full size office desk with a section of the desk top obviously made for a terminal complete with hole for cables in the back. Where the typical desk had pull out drawers was a solid door with lots a lights, 8" floppy drive and some switches. Opening it it had an 18" equipment rack. In that I found what looked like an S100 bus card cage, with a Z8000 CPU card, FDC, RS-232, and some others, I think.

Unfortunately I had to move in '94 and much to my dismay I had to jettison the desk before I could attempt to restore it. At that time I didn't have any information on it.

But years later I still wonder what exactly I had. Any information about it would be appreciated. I'd especially like to get some photos.

TIA

After cycling through a few computers, I finally settled on this one. It’s an HP Pavilion a1510n with my favorite version of Windows XP (Media Center Edition) I got the Dell speaker set for around $30 and it sounds amazing. I would’ve liked a CRT Monitor to go with the tower but the LCD works good.

I’m not a fan of the overall desk and size of the area, but it’s all I can fit in my 1br apartment.

Actually, it was $9 + $105 shipping, which was a bit much, but just a reminder that people like to forget important details when it comes to how much of a bargain they got!

Anyway, it's powering on, but obvious battery damage, which I've done a little cleaning on. It'll have to go on the shelf for now though, since I have a backlog of stuff. I'll have some updates soon on my compact Macs (including the flood SE from quite a while ago now and the battery damaged SE/30). The iMac is the blueberry version, btw.
