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?

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?

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.

Equipped with a 500mhz AMD processor, Voodoo and AWE64 Gold

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,

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

I believe it's related to the backplane on a vintage IBM but would like someone who is more knowledgeable than me to confirm.
