    Living Computer Museum, Seatle

    Does anyone have any info about the possibility of Living Computer Museum reopening? I see the web site message about their "temporary" closure has not been updated since they first closed.. I think many of us have not been very optimistic about their future. I continue to think of them with...

    Decided to start learnig C

    I've played around with BASIC since about 1979 but never really got super deep into it. A few years ago, I bought a book about assembly, but couldn't stay awake reading it. So, late in September, I started looking for Online Courses for programming. I stumbled accross "C Programming with...

    Now that's a clever trick!

    Look at that 5153 monitor! That picture is FABULOUS! Oh, wait, That's just a reflection!! He say's it works, but I wouldn't want to buy it to use as a mirror. You only get a nice image in bright sunlight at just the right angle.

    Accessing Win10 Network share from Win98se

    Has anyone been able to "Map A Network Drive" on a Win98 machine to access a shared drive on a Win10 machine? I can go the other way, i.e. my Win10 machine can access shared drives on my Win98se machine no problem. But, when I try to access a shared drive on the Win10 machine from Win98, I get...

    Issues with USB DVD-ROM on Super Socket 7 board

    Not sure if this belongs here aas this computer isn't really vintage, but maybe the Mods can move this thread if they feel it is necessary. So the machine is built up from a Gigabyte GA-5AA Motherboard (Super Socket 7) with an AMD K6-III+ 450 Processor and 128 Megs of RAM running Win98SE...

    Google says Crynwr.com is UNSAFE!!?

    So, I tried to go to Crynwr.com today to see if I could find a packet driver for a Realtek RTL8029(AS) PCI Ethernet NIC but this message popped up claiming the site is unsafe. Anyone else see this? Anyone have a packet driver for this card? Is there a mirror of the Crynwr site?

    Thanks to Archive.org AKA the WAYBACK MACHINE!!

    I bought a socket 7 motherboard a while back. AZZA PT5IT ver 2.1 https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/A/AZZA-Pentium-PT-5IT.html Got it working just fine. But then, I realized that I had a faster processor (AMD K6-2/400)that should work even though the board wasn't designed for it. When I...

    Any experience with Cybex Switchview KVM? Small Group Buy interest?

    THIS looks like a good price for these, but I don't need 5 of them. If someone can tell me if this is an OK brand, I might buy them and sell the surplus cheap. I only want one of them, so if you're interested, let me know by PM. Greg

    Opinions Please; AZZA PT-5IT - AMD K6 200ALR - 16MB EDO - 512K L2

    Anyone here familiar with THIS MOTHERBOARD? I just bought it cause it looked pretty feature rich and was at a decent price. I'd like to use it as a "Tweener" due to the ISA and PCI slots. Let me know what you think. Did I make a good purchase? What kind of video card should I look for for...

    IBM 3270 PC, Boy I'd love one of these.

    I wonder what the final price will be on THIS. I'm sure it will be beyond my budget. If it's as good as the seller states, I'd love to have it in my collection. I guess I can still dream. I'll check back on it in a couple of days. My Dad used to work at IBM San Jose when I was a kid. He...

    As the title says, I'd like to buy or trade for a decent 486 Baby AT motherboard. Doesn't need to be to fancy. I'm somewhat interested in this one due to the location of the 16bit slots and the memory slots and the onboard IDE and Floppy connectors, but I don't really need the PCI slots. I...

    Help ID this 486 motherboard

    I'm thinking about buying this motherboard. Trouble is, I can't find any info about jumper settings. I looked through all of the 486 boards on TH99. Some close, but not close enough. From googling "ss 486 rev p2ci"(from one of the ebay pics), I found that someone on Vogons was looking for...
