    Modems!

    I don't know if it should be here or in the other section but... If you need a dial up modem for your computer, but don't know where to get a serial or ISA modem, and you don't want to turn to ebay. You can get them from newegg.com still.

    I have a old quantex that has just a pentium 1 75mhz, and I was thinking about gutting it and converting it to ATX form factor. I am tired of looking at my computers current case.

    Same DSI troubles!!!

    I started up the DSI 386 today to see if maybe it will decide to format the hard drive, or see it at all in ms-dos. So I checked the drive perameters in the bios to the drive perameters printed on the hard drive. All match, jumpers are set just fine, but when I go into a ms-dos 6.22 start up...

    Novus 850 Calculator

    I don't know if this belongs in here, but i just found a old Novus 850 in my grandpa's shop, still had the original battery in it, (needless to say, that didn't work,) but i cleaned it up and put a new 9v in it, and it works flawlessly. Upon some research, i found this was made in 1975, has an...
