What am I looking at?
Posted on 2024-05-01, 12:30
So I got myself an old 286, victorv286c, that has no video out at the moment. While I was looking around, trying to look for any obvious damage, I found a strange Och on the back of the motherboard. See pictures. What is this thing? It looks professionally made, but would guess not from the factory? …

Hej guys, hope you all still around. Just found a Victor v286c, and it's on its way to me. It's a bit in an unknown state. According to the labels it was used at Lund's university in Sweden for MATSTAT. 😅

Posted on 2020-10-12, 13:36
Got this toy recently, unsure what to do with it. It has a NEC v25 CPU, D27C512D EEPROM, and 256x128 monochrome screen. Any good ideas? Where can I can "programs" for this? I have someone close by to burn EEPROM, but unsure what... Any inputs welcome. <3

In case anyone interested, I have managed to open up more this handheld computer, next step would be to start it up. One picture is the back of the display and the other is the other side of the main board. The eeprom is on the other side of it. According to the printing it should run HDOS, most …

Bought something, but no clue what. :D will need some detective work. It's quite big though, and judging from the battery compartment, it should be able to do stand alone work. Guessing collecting some data. Looks like there is a parallel port connection on the top and infra red. It's like a 10 usd …

The dell you should open like a book. I think there is a push switch on the top and bottom to release. I somehow found retro (well...the Dell isn't quite so retro, but it's over 15 years old now so that counts for something) computers today going out to yard sales and the local flea market. A Dell …

Got myself a winXP gaming laptop, just because I like myself so much. :D Dell XPS M1710. This is the basic model with Core2Duo 2Ghz and Geforce 7900GS. Highest you can go is T7600 + 7950 GTX + 4gb ram + blue ray drive. Luckily it came with 2Gb RAM and SSD drive. Though I think they should have added …
Re: Until when PC used 10 function keys, instead of 12?
Posted on 2020-09-17, 13:40
Probably 1985, possibly 1986. I believe that was when IBM introduced the model M as an option for the AT (model 339) and XT (model 086). They probably lingered on through the rest of the 80s, and there were people who preferred their function keys on the left side rather than on top, so you could …

Posted on 2020-09-17, 12:59
I'm looking at and old hardware that has 10 function keys, and not 12. Does anyone knows when we started to use 12? What was the turning point? Trying to pinpoint the hardware in time, due to there is know info and bad pictures about it. 😁

I'm just curious how other people do it. What is the best way to get games on your win98 and winXP systems? Of course, my aim is digitally, but I would like to avoid using internet on the retro system. Is gog installer working on older system if I just copy over the files? Or connect to interwebz …
