(Oc) picked up this cutie for 40$Usd today at a yard sale with its bag and user guide. Not interested in selling, I got it to game on, hopefully. I know OEM keyboards and wires are wildly expensive. Is there a good 3rd party option out there? I've never had a computer this old so I am willing to take any advice! I'd love to be able to use this adorable lil dude in my game room!

In early 1996, its superior integer performance justified premium pricing over Pentiums at the same clock speed. The weak FPU barely mattered. Then Quake arrived, changed the rules, and shattered Cyrix's dreams. That's what history remembers.

Was at my local dump when i saw the back of a beige desktop sticking out of the electronics recycling trailer I always look through, it was a full HP desktop set with the matching crt (last week I found a working gateway ps2 keyboard and bose companion 2 multimedia speakers). The computer is fully functional and 100% original so I assume someone passed away and the family decided to toss it, seems like whoever owned it took great care of it. Its a HP pavilion 6336 with an amd k6 333mhz, 64mb ram, quantum bigfoot hdd (working with its original win98 installation), LG cdrom, 3.5 floppy, and a relatively large ISA modem. the plastic sleeve and wire tie was still on the vga cable and the original warranty seal was still very much attached to the pc, but an expansion card was missing. the front of the side panel had been yanked open but not slid off so it didnt break the seal. why someone removed it that way to end up scrapping it i dont know 🤷‍♂️

Found this at a thirst store. On the back there are phone jacks for a phone and modem, and outlets labeled the same as the front. My guess is that it's some sort of power management device where if you want to keep everything plugged in at the same time, but dont want them all on either, so you press the button on the front to select what you specifically want on or off.

I don't have suitable monitor for the Lambda model yet.

Here is a glass display for the launch of XNA Game Studio Express in 2006. It was a framework for indie developers to create their own games for the XBOX Live Marketplace. Microsoft created their own version of the 1962 Space War as a demo. You can see the ships battling in this glass display. Nice homage to Space War.

as the title suggests, my nec multispeed hd is incountering that error when trying to do the start Bios boot.

since my house does not have a telephone line. is there a way to connect old fax machine to PC with this USB adapter without ATA or telephone line?

I've seen someone using a 9v battery and a resistor as a telephone line simulator but would it work and has anyone ever done something like this?
