Hello! I appreciate the responses that everyone has given me .. but I wonder if I'm doing something proceduraly wrong here .. I am now flummoxed, gobsmacked and perplexed :-( Could someone who is familiar with the “Gotek hdx2001” please review my procedure and tell me if my assumptions are...

Hello… I am interested in replacing my 5.25 inch drive with a Gotek. A possible issue is it the first two tracks are in single density and the remaining tracks are in double density. Has anybody handled this scenario? Thanks. PS: I am using the HDX 2001 software.

Hello, In my continuing quest to bring my 1980's computer equipment back to life, I'd like to employ my "Technical Solutions" EPROM emulator. I really liked how simply it worked .. You'd plug the emulator into your EPROM socket of your target board, and run a RJ-11 cable from the emulator to an...

Hello all, I'm sure there's a wizard on this forum that can help me out here … I'm bringing one of my ancient PC's back to life. Pretty simple: 486 processor, Dell LED monitor, Windows 95, and some sort of ISA Trident video card that I found on eBay. All was operational except the windows icons...

I still wirewrap my projects, but wirewrap supplies are getting scarcer. Can anyone recommend a source for sockets? Jameco has them, but they are quite expensive now! eBay ain't much better. And did anyone use "Wrap-ID's"? I loved those little plastic labels. They made wiring much easier...

Hello! For one of my Covid isolation projects, I've dug out my old Dynamic Debugging Tool (DDT) for 8031 microcontrollers. It was a Ciarcia feature article in 1988 Aug/Sept Byte magazine. It was a great learning tool and really worked well! I'd like to see if I can get it up and running again...

Source listing for Jade Z80 CPU: "Jade Computer Systems Monitor 2.2B" anyone? :-( Hello all! I'm back to the project of bringing my Jade Big Z and Double D FDC back to life. (not much luck so far .. ) I recall locating a source code listing for the Jade Big Z "Jade computer systems monitor...

Hello all, Can somebody explain why my 10.1 Gig drive comes up as about 6,447,104 bytes in Windows 95? I’m bringing up an old UL 486 mother board. The BIOS is © 1991 American Megatrends Inc. My hard drive is an IBM DTTA-351010 Hard drive specs are: Capacity: 10.1 GB, Cylinders: 16383, Heads...

Hello, Among other projects, I've dug out my old 486 1991 Motherboard, picked up a new power supply, ISA video card, keyboard adapter and floppy drives. Hot dang, it all still works! Unfortunately, the system is currently spread out on my bench top, so, I am in need of an AT style computer...

Hello all! I have a 486 motherboard that I'd like to get running again. I have a few ISA plug in cards that may still work with it, but I have no case or power supply for it :-( I'd guess that the most important step (assuming I can find a video display adapter card) is to connect a power...

Hello all! I am continuing to purge my stockpile of electronic stuff .. I have come across several Multibus boards. Is there any interest in Multibus boards on this forum? Or is there a better/Multibus forum someplace? Thank you! :-)
