Great to know. Hopefully these drivers are able to be used for a few more iterations of Windows.

I currently have on 3.2tb IOscale in my 5950x system, and bought another 3.2TB HP one off ebay (coming tuesday) for only $150 after offer sent. Anyone got this working on Windows 11? My current desktop is Windows 10 and its been great for massive photodrops/duplication processes. Just going...

Vintage Computing. I have enough crap to last me a decade of tinkering with 8088 up to Athlon 64's and everything in the middle.

I've been into retro computing for over 10 years now. I was at local thrift store and saw an old AT computer for $5. I thought, what the hell. Why not? So I brought it home and have been hooked ever since. The golden age of computing is awesome nostalgia trips from my childhood. And now...

No paradoxes huh? I'm sure Bender will find a way.

Try a different cable. I had a cable set that wouldn't show any drives. It didn't matter what port I put the SFF-8087 to SATA cable in, it just would not work. I tried another cable, and viola. Works. So those cables do get bad, for whatever reason.

I have two of those cases. Both with 386DX-33/44MHz boards in them with a whopping 4mb of RAM and 8MB of RAM (overkill for a 386),

Yeah, i was looking for more info on the Headland. On that page it says its connected via local bus so that is a big plus for Windows 95. I think he tested it out and said it was faster than ET4000AX, which is one of the best ISA for DOS. Windows on the other hand.....with only 512K of...

Is this the system, or similar? LINK TO SYSTEM

Thanks! got one for 199.96. 3.2TB will replace a 500GB NVME gaming drive (thats 90% full) that I have installed via a PCIe card in one of my 16x slots. I seriously doubt I'll see a big difference in load times between the two, and at $200 for 3.2TB...yeah, no brainer.

I have a 38" Acer ultrawide. I love size, refresh rate, but hate...HATE HATE HATE freesync, because its broken on this monitor model. Anything above 60Hz makes the screen "brigthtness" flicker if freesync is enabled. NOTHING solves it other than disabling freesync. There are lots of threads...

And here come the Apple apologists... Apple would never do anything to harm or mislead consumers................pfffft LOL

Awesome. Was just looking to change VPN providers. I'll try this out.

And that's why I patreon this guy. Love his videos.

I had a similar experience with Wing Commander 1 and Sound Blaster 8-bit. When I got it, and then installed a Freak'n SPEECH PACK....WOW. I play around with a lot of vintage computers from an 8086 on up to Pentium 3's, though my sweet spot is the 386 to 486/Pentium 1 era of DOS and early...

Very Rare....Pfft. Not $1000 rare. Now....Try finding a ViperMax NEW IN BOX, NEVER USED. Now THAT is rare. :sneaky::whistle: This guy wants $2,500 for his NOT boxed, NO floppies, bare card. I wonder how much my MINT VIRGIN in box would go for...

I support him (and HardOCP btw) via Patreon. Love most of his videos. He really does a great job at analysis, and seems quite thorough.

No. BTW Kyle, I signed up for Patreon. Keep it straight, like you've always done.

You're joking.....*face palm*. I love vintage hardware.

Free shipping? ;-) Awesome monitor. Wish I could come pick this up.

I rarely post to shit like this, but I have to respond having six children. Natural selection proves itself to be true? How fucking heartless do you have to be to state shit like that? Survival of the fittest? A kid is dead and this is the type of god damn garbage that is allowed on HARDFORUM????

I've read a few posts that clocks don't go much higher, even though temps have plummeted (Just like most processes today....). Have you found that to be true? Going water only makes sense if you want lower temps/quiet? BTW. Thanks for the info!

How many of you guys are using aftermarket water cooling? Any threads online about waterblocks? I'm not coming up with much with my google skillz....

For sale is the Asus GTX 1080 STRIX OC 8GB graphics card (NOT the 11gps edition btw) ( Box, manuals, GRAPHICS card, etc.) This saw very light use from me for the first part of 2017. No issues, and I didn't push it with overclocking. paypal only (gifted would be appreciated, but not going to...

SOLD I have 5 (five) Samsung 850 Pro that were retired from a RAID-1 setup, with a hot-spare. each $85 shipped Or, $325 shipped for all 5. That's $65 each. The 4 that were used in RAID-1 have about 6-7 TBs written, with about 18-20,000 hours powered on. The 1 hot spare has about 1TB...

Thanks. Yup, found myself some some 20 meter LC LC SM duplex armored for inexpensive $20. Before installing I'll test them, and at that price I'll run 3-4 of them as redundancy lines. As far as the bend-insensitive, are there any major issues using an LC-LC duplex COUPLER to go from the...

I'll take the VGA over cat extender! I think that'll be awesome for my office in-wall wiring of cat6 and love of vintage computers.

So quick question with SM. LC cables are listed as UPC or APC 20 meter SM LC/UPC-LC/UPC 20 meter SM LC/APC-LC/APC I guess APC is angled cut to lower feedback, so aren't most connections based off of UPC? Keystone jacks, cables, etc? I just want to make sure everything lines up and I get...

Oh wow! I guess I've been searching incorrectly/incompletely. I thought optics started at $75 used and new at least $125-200 new. Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll be ordering single mode cable soon.

Thanks for the input. I'm new to fiber, so I'll need to ask why. Single mode transceivers seem to be about 4-10x the price for 10gb speeds, and I'm only going maximum 75 feet (if that). I can run single mode cable at the same time to future proof it if I want, but its $57/cable for armored...

If i have the 4K content on the HTPC's hard drive, skipping around has no issues. Doing the same thing on the network, 4K takes a bit to catch up on it. As far as OM3, the cable is only $35, the runs simple, and I'm running RG6 and CAT6 anyways. Also, RJ45 10GBe ports are expensive...

OM3 is for current 10GBe connections, possibly 25GBe in the future, that don't depend upon CAT5e/6/6a termination reliability. That and most 10GBe SPF+ transceivers are $10-30, so those two-to-four 10GBe ports on a rack switch can finally be used without having to use expensive 10GBe RJ45...

Agreed. There's so much you can push over ethernet and CAT5e/CAT6. Until recently, I didn't know you could do 30Hz 4K over CAT5e/6 cables with extenders. That changes a lot for me on media closets/etc. But bman212121, you're correct in saying that conduit is the only right answer. Thanks...

Thanks all. I think I'll stick with CAT6 and conduit, along with three runs of 20 metere OM3 multimode preterminated to the office, to home theater and living room TVs. Conduit will include the attic so hopefully be easy future drops to the rooms upstairs, and conduit runs to the office, home...

I'll run conduit, the smurf tube stuff, to key locations, but have them empty for future use. There's so much out there to read about fiber, and varying opinions. I have been looking at 15m and 20m OM3 multimode LC-LC pre-terminated for a few runs, mainly from the server closet to my...

Exactly what I was thinking with conduit to the outside. Nice big fat 2" pipe, just in case. I do plan to run everything to the basement in a network area with a server rack, so most everything is centrally-located. I'm just not sure of the OM3 bulk. Its just a steal at that price, but...

Why the extra RG6? Because I'm not paying someone to run the RG6 wire as I'll be doing it myself, and its dirt cheap, and I'd much rather just run a handful of cables all at once. I had my old house that both RG6 cables were dead going to my office, so no cable modem there. I had to use an...

Building a new house, two story with a basement. Here's my initial thoughts. -RG6x2, CAT6x3 to each bedroom. -RG6x3, CAT6x4 to living room and home theatre -RG6x3, CAT6x6 to office (no need for a switch there) -CAT6x4 to attic, with POE switch located in attic for security camera system...
