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.
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).

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 ... |

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.

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 ... |
