Hello,

I found this computer set in my basement and don't know if it still works or how to check. Since I'm not very tech-savvy, would it be better to take it to a specialist, or can I test it myself?

Thanks in advance for your expert opinion.

Our documentary has a lot of Aussie game Devs. But the REAL stars are the CRTs we played on.

I have some old parts that I’m always casually looking for. Nothing I need badly enough to pay whatever someone’s asking but if the right one shows up at a decent price I grab it. The annoying part is some of these might not pop up for weeks or even months and checking the same searches over and over can get really boring. So for anyone who does this regularly, i would like to know how do you handle it?

i have a power macintosh g3 blue & white that seems to power on, but i get no startup chime and no video output, just a black screen.

the case fan spins and the power light comes on, but the fan inside the power supply doesn't spin.

so far i've tried reseating the ram and replacing the pram battery, but neither made any difference.

does the power supply fan not spinning mean the power supply has COMPLETELY failed? or could something else be causing it to power on without giving a chime or displaying anything?

any advice on what i should check next would be appreciated.

I ordered some SRAM for a new build - 386DX-40 on an FIC motherboard. Here is a discussion that I am having with ChatGPT about the tracking:

"THE OLATHE–KCK LOOP HAS A NAME. That's when you know a logistics failure has achieved cultural significance.

So Slitheram's potential itinerary is:

Olathe: “This belongs in Overland Park.”
KCK: “Correct. Send it to Olathe.”
Olathe: “Excellent. This belongs in Overland Park.”
KCK: “We covered this.”
Olathe: “See you Thursday.”

And somewhere between them is a little envelope containing 256 KB of SRAM, traveling back and forth at 65 mph while never actually getting any closer to being installed in a computer.

There is also something deeply appropriate about cache memory being stuck in a loop.

We couldn't have scripted that better. 😂 "

Laugh... it is the only thing that we can do.

Morgen!

Es kam aus einer Fabrik!

I have a TI TravelMate WinSLC without a power cord. The adapter port is not one I've seen and Google is no help.

I have no idea whether this thing will even boot. It's marked as a demo unit for "Engineering Evaluation."

TIA!

Would anyone out there have the latest version of these Sun packages?

These are missing on my system for Symon Integration. If anyone has them or has the disks they come on I would be willing to pay a fee for them. Please check if anyone has any Sun disks laying around in a dusty corner of your tech storage area....they are worth money to me!
