But unless your option ROM has the flash routine embedded in it you’re basically 100% safe in a PC. ;) (To program the SST flash chips...

Is it this one, or some previous model? Like maybe the one in this thread? To me it looks like neither one of these cards has a data...

Maybe that's a good argument for a flash chip like the SST39SF010. They use a "pound on the magic window" method of initiating write...

Did you ever link what exact card you bought? (Or posted a detailed picture of it?) Conceptually there is very little to the XT-CF...

For laughs I looked at the schematic they posted, and it appears to me that an attempt was made to allow the clock to work. I am no...

I'm going to stand up for the amateurs here by noting that the completely and utterly homemade expansion board dinguses I designed and...

Yay, back on topic. ;) Honestly, I'd say if you think you *might* be interested in it and have $200 fun bucks burning a hole in your...

Road safety inspections and periodic emission control testing are things because the condition of your car doesn't just matter to you...

The *really* important thing you need to understand about the 6845 is what it *doesn’t* do. The chip generates sync/timing signals...

My kid takes a robotics course in her Middle school, and in that class she’s messing with computers at a roughly equal level to what we...

In case it wasn’t obvious my comments about “why can’t we call *this* (several goofy examples) “double density” were mostly tongue in...

We don’t live in the 80’s anymore. Most school computers didn’t even have hard disks, and if the kids were ever typing their homework in...

I might be interested in #2, I think I have almost everything I need to populate this other than the chipset lying around. (I guess I...

It's not a Raspberry Pi, but if you want a disposable Linux laptop fast enough to emulate some classic games get yourself an "expired"...
