    Project: TRS-80

    I finally got around to finding and ordering a miniature keyboard that fits my requirements a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, it only arrived yesterday and I had intended on showing it off at a LAN party today, so I had to make a few changes to my plan. I decided that since this was...

    PSOne LCD Mod - those who have successfully done the VGA version

    You can ground the ID0 pin on the VGA cable to make the video card recognize that a monitor is plugged in. The appropriate pins would be 5 for ground, and 11 for ID0. Hope this helps.

    Wierd inverter question

    I have been using this monitor with the remaining inverter successfully for most of the day. I'm going to guess that it was just a marginal inverter with a little extra load that caused it to burn out on me. The remaining inverter running just the top two tubes seems to light the screen...

    Wierd inverter question

    I got this decently good looking 17 inch lcd for free that had a bad inverter in it. I managed to get it going again using a couple of inverters from cold cathode kits that I have laying around. After running this screen for about 10 minutes, one of the two inverters fries on me, (it is a four...

    Project: TRS-80

    Major problems today, I had to pull the amd motherboard out of the case, as I think either it or the CPU is dying. I still cant keep it below 160 degrees at idle, even with underclocking it to 1500 mhz. I am swapping it with an old emachines board with a 1.6 ghz celeron. It has always been...

    Project: TRS-80

    Just an update, I have went through and did some cleaning of the wiring, so the new power supply uses the original power cord instead of hanging out the keyboard hole. Found out that the BIOS does not support a B:\, so the 3.5 inch portion of the drive is officially for looks, unless I swap...

    Project: TRS-80

    The first picture of the old mod is actually a 9" CRT inside the old bezel, it actually had a modified picture tube out of a RCA XL-100 tv set. It measured out to about 11 or 12 inches with the bezel in, but all modern CRT's are 13" or bigger and way longer than the back of the case would...

    Project: TRS-80

    I didn't get to see it still in the case, as I bought it stripped, but it is an NEC 12.1 inch TFT. If I had the opportunity, I wish I could have grabbed the front panel daughterboard and connector, as the connector is a wierd type, with small pin spacing. It does also have S-Video and RCA...

    Project: TRS-80

    Its just temporary anyway, I will probably just put Ubuntu on it in the next week or so and run wine on my games.

    Project: TRS-80

    XP Professional - Most Wanted Edition, its a hacked version I got off of bittorrent that has some stuff installed with it, like antivirus and instant messenger programs. A lot of it I uninstalled, but some of it was pretty cool.

    Project: TRS-80

    Thats actually off of IMBNES on my modded PS2. I have finished it with the exception of the keyboard and LCD front panel controls. I added several fans to the case, including one sucking up through the bottom of the case, and two side by side in the top drive hole with some modders mesh...

    Project: TRS-80

    I have finished cutting out the drive mounts and mounting the power supply in the bottom of the case. I used a micro atx power supply and spliced in the 4 pin connector for the cpu power on the motherboard. Once I got the case with all the goodies put together and powered up, I noticed that...

    Project: TRS-80

    I think my official goal for the project is to have the only TRS-80 capable of playing BF2. Well, that and the wierd stares when I go hauling that piece of history to a lan party.

    Project: TRS-80

    This was a case that I had actually modded poorly before, and felt that I needed to redeem myself by fixing it's shortfalls. Heres a picture of its previously modded state. It wasn't my finest hour, but I did win the case mod competition at that particular lan party. I stripped it down to...

    How is this case?

    I have a centurion 5 case, and there is one 80mm fan in the front of the case. In my case, i am running my PC at about 5 degrees over ambient with the factory fans so cooling shouldnt be a big problem.
