I'm still around. I generally don't check here as I really don't play around with "old" computers much. About the oldest system I play with is a core 2 duo. That is mostly because most of my ...

That said, godaddy FINALLY responded to an e-mail I sent nearly a month ago and fixed the problem. So my page is back up for now.

Just a heads up, it looks like the reviews are down on your sit ...

You're paying too much. UCL is hosted with Inmotion Hosting as part of a plan that gives 6 websites for $10/mo.

I've also switched to Porkbun for domain registrations... they're the most fair I've ...

On a side note. My website is down and may never be back up. My domain was through godaddy and my hosting was at hostgo. For some reason I set my admin e-mail to the 386page.com address. Well, somethi ...

Just wonder is any of you hang out on Discord? If there are Vintage computer discord servers? One of the other groups(art) I used to hang around with years ago set one up as the site was essentially d ...

I have used mint starting with mint 14 I believe. Still use it today on my main laptop. Mint would demand FAR too much from a 486. Even the Xfce likely will be far too much. Given the lack of instruct ...

I plugged in a Compaq portable 286 and when I turned it on there was a loud bang, followed by a lot of reddish smoke. Turned out a tantalum detonated.

I gather this was in the P/S section? Any ide ...

First off hello. It's been a while. Shocked

I have decided to bring a lot of my old computers out of storage, and after 10 years of sitting there are some issues (and some casualties). Embarassed

I was going to post last night, but noticed your reply upon previewing it.

I fear that hdd is dead. Macs are rather good at booting off a drive, any drive, so long as it powers up. I think you just ...

Here are photos of the tablet / laptop. Possibly the earliest convertible???

This is a long shot I know but I have to ask. I am still playing around with that grid 486 tablet and really need it on my network. Problem is ALL my pcmcia card are cardbus but one, a dlink 802.11b n ...

Well, not all my tinkering was in vain. The POD83 in an AST machine was noticeably faster than its' original 486DX-66. It ran Win95(A) for many years until it succumbed to a power supply problem. R ...

I had a socket 5 to socket 7 adapter, but that is all I have ever seen. Honestly I don't think a socket 3 to 5 adapter would work. There were too many changes architecturally IMHO.

Now the overdriv ...

I tried windows 98 on an athlonX4 once. I had to slipstream the sata drivers into the install disk to get it installed. But it did work and has worked for about 2 years now. I got lucky and the board ...

Wow! Now I need to dig out some of my old 'yellow' systems and give that a try. My old Zenith supersport 386 is starting to turn from a deep yellow to an almost brown color. I see a lot of hydrogen pe ...
