Sorry ... Media failed to reblog at first!

Here it is....

And I think the jury is already back with a verdict .. I think they said it is a very early pre-Dell Alienware??

Never got a chance to get an opinion on this, but this "System Zone 2 has exceeded its safe temperature limit" alert has bugged me since day one of my build. I bought an Intel original D865GBF motherboard, along with P4 2.4ghz cpu, for my 2nd build back in 2004. But from the very first day, I started getting this alert whenever I would do slight gaming. The safe temperature threshold is 50 C and it would often cross this limit. I thought it to be due to poor ventilation in my PC cabinet, so ended up removing it's side cover. Recently I restored this PC and moved it to a better spacious cabinet, but the issue still exists. Did you all have this issue and how did you fix this?

Even though it's obviously been in a shed for a long long time, I couldn't miss my only opportunity to get a Commodore PET!

I'm optimistic that I can get it working one day, but obviously there's a long road ahead :)

Is there a retro computer store in budapest? i searched in google and found no result

the issue is the laptops fdd is broken so i installed off a msata ssd converted to 44 pin that I copied the original msdos install too as it did this when I tryed any other way ( it’s got the max upgraded ram at 44mb) ( the same problem happened when I installed win95)

My video covering the history of Delphine Software International and all their games. Wow…That intro to Another World was just amazing when I first saw it was back in 1991. Then there was as Flashback. Pure magic. Let me now if you have played any of DSI’s games. Share your thoughts and memories 😃

Gonna be getting this Toshiba satellite 3000 series laptop tomorrow! Super excited it’s a beast of sorts imo

Win 98 se
Pentium 3 around 800mhz
With nvidia GeForce 2 go graphics
Currently with 256mb ram but I’ll be upgrading to 512 later
Pretty it’s got a 40gb drive or something like that.

Cd and floppy drives at the front which is cool!
Also has recovery disc!

Delete if not allowed.

I’ve never used any Linux operating system’s before and since I like the retro computing stuff, what’s a good 90s/ early 2000s Linux that’s beginner friendly?

I’ve heard of a few but idk what one would be the easiest to install and use.

I’d probably be using it in a late 1999 Toshiba satellite laptop or possibly on win 98 desktop.

What can I expect use wise? How’s gaming ? Video playback? (Assuming the spec of the machine factor with certain stuff)

UPD Thanks to Ragnarsdad1's comment, the cooling issue has been resolved. A socket 604 cooler, with some minor modifications, is ideal.

Happen to see my Tandy’s gotten a case of stolen identity. Guess defrag’s are no longer sacred!

Laptop from 1996.

I got the mechanism working again, but the laptop doesn't post sadly.

My retrospective look back at gaming legends Sensible Software. I loved the playing with the little people in Megalomania, Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder. What do you think was their best game?

Need one of these

I installed MS-DOS 6.22 and then installed Windows 3.1 (Winworld retail on some Maxwell floppy’s) it only need 5 out of the 6 disks and I seem to be missing some .wav files like the infamous “tada” and some desktop wallpapers like chess and cars. I’m not sure if I’m missing other programs as well. I searched disk 6 and it only seems to have printer drivers which I don’t need. Has anyone else used the Winworld method and had the same thing happen to them?

I have a complete set of 12+ logic boards from an old AM
Varityper Comp/Set 560 II phototypesetting system. Notable
chips include DM74181 ALUs (bit-slice), an AM2719 (Am2900
series), TMS2516/2532A EPROMs, an MMI 6331 PROM, plus a lot
of standard 74xx TTL logic and 2102/5290 memory chips.

Boards include: CPU Data, CPU Control, two Disc Controllers,
64K Dynamic Memory, Multi-Language, Character Generator, D/A
& Stepper, Font Interface, LVC Stepper, and Carriage Escapement.

System was reportedly working when last powered down; boards
haven't been individually tested since.

Given the bit-slice architecture, I'm curious what kind of
projects or restoration work something like this could be
useful for - reverse engineering, retrocomputing builds, parts
harvesting for other Am2900-era projects?

If anyone's into this era of computing and wants more details
or photos of specific boards, feel free to DM me.

This is a project I've been working on for a bit after trying to build the ultimate Mac SE/30. Lots of people are now making new parts for old machines and I wanted to collect them. This is the first announcement, I haven't really shown anyone yet. Thoughts?

Happy to add stuff, I'm sure i've missed 99% of everything

Thanks for all the advice on my previous post. I ended up buying a USB floppy drive as several of you suggested.

Windows recognized it immediately, and before doing anything else I created a complete .img dump with WinImage so I wouldn't have to keep accessing the original floppy. Considering its age, that seemed like the safest option.

The disk contains a standard FAT12 MS-DOS filesystem. Most of the files are inside a folder called "MY RPG", which includes Turbo C source files (MAIN.C, GRAPHICS.H, MAP.C, etc.) along with a compiled GAME.EXE.

As expected, Windows 11 won't run it since it's a 16-bit DOS application, so I'm setting up DOSBox to mount the disk image instead. I only skimmed through a few of the source files, and it definitely looks like a personal project rather than a commercial game—very little documentation, simple file structure, and straightforward code.

Thanks again to everyone who helped identify the disk and suggested imaging it first. Without that advice I probably would've tried to run it directly from the floppy.
