MARCH frequently asked questions 1. I'm a nerd and live somewhere between Connecticut and Virginia, yet I never heard of you before. That's because we are new....
OK, I have several hundred various SIMM sticks. One half would be 1 meg 30 pin stuff. The rest is 72pin stock of varying sizes up to 32 meg. Any suggestions...
Kelly, Early Pentiums that use 72-pin SIMMs make excellent routers - just add two or three NICs stir in M0n0wall, bake for 15 minutes and you have a very...
You know, this brings up an interesting idea. I don't know if this was discussed previously but why can't we have a "vintage parts stockroom" at InfoAge? A few...
... That spare parts concept kinda describes my basement at the moment. If anyone needs any part for an older PC or Tandy computer, try emailing me to see if I...
I am happy to contribute parts to anyone who needs them (usually for free), but because I don't know what I will need and when for my own work, I prefer to...
... m0n0wall is great; I recommend it highly. You probably don't need all of those 15 minutes, unless you count putting the hardware together. ... I'm running...
The other night, I bid on a lot of 8 mixed computers on eBay. I won at a price of $1.76. I just picked them up. Post of them are old Pentium 1 machines, but...
The model 80 is a 386. There are many iterations of the ps/2 80. Even if "they" don't consider it vintage now, it will be considered vintage by "them"...
... The IBM is running, barely. Its running XENIX. Since I know very few Unix commands, I am going to try and format the hard drive and install MS-DOS.From the...
You'll learn more if you try to figure out how it was used as-is, keeping the XENIX OS intact first before formatting with DOS. You might be able to find a...
... I'll give it a chance. My father, who used to work a Bell Labs was telling me that XENIX is essentially UNIX, under the Microsoft name. Now, there is...
I've just run into a problem. It seemed that there was something wrong with the Computone terminal MCA card and breakout box. The machine refused to boot when...
... Not MFM. EDSI. Much, much, much faster than MFM. It should be a 386. I have loads of parts for this machine, if you want them. Most of which I can let...
... You need to boot off of the reference diskette. It's the only diskette the machine will boot until it's been configured. MCA machines use reference...
Sorry folks, I'm still catching up on things that were due on 2005, so it'll be a week or two before there is a major club update to share. - Evan ... and in...
Hi Evan, Just thought I would mention that I got the Hero robot working a while ago. New batteries, a bunch of re-soldering, etc. I think all of the fcns are...
There's a possible way out... You can boot a linux system on the box and mount the Xenix filesystem and vi out the root password to get access... Does the...
... I've got something similar. Its an Omnibot 2000, and old Tomy from '85. One of the arms is missing, but the motorized arm is still intact. This is one of...
In addition to MOnOwall, Smoothwall and IPCOP also have worked out well for me as has GnatBox Light from GTA. ... m0n0wall is great; I recommend it highly. You...
... It has no way of connecting a CD ROM drive. There is an old token ring card in there, but all it has is a DB-9 out. Plus, I am now getting a 10490 error on...
