Every time you do the car boot episode, I’m blown away by all the cool tech that made it to the island. Crazy! Great video as always!
With reference to the beige socket 7 machine you will find between the keyboard connector and the top PCI slot is a break-out shield with a PS/2 mouse port.
Your board has the i430VX chip-set and will accept up to 128mb of ram, so maybe worth an upgrade if you're going to hold-on to her.
Also, I am a sign-writer by trade and in 1992 I ran a 286 machine with Windows 3.1 and CorelDraw 3 to make computer-cut vinyl graphics for signs, which for the time was leading edge tech and a lot faster than the brush.
Brilliant episode looking forward to the live stream
A great find very jelly with machine 2 :)
Infact, one machine I tore down the other day had and Asus P2B DS dual slot 1 mobo with 2 500mhz Piii, a Voodoo 3500 and a bunch of SCSI drives!
Turns out the machine once belonged to a computer repair shop not far from me in Croyden and was like a time capsule of their operations and repairs from the early 2000's! 😮
I use a garden blower Rich, much more efficient lol oh and outside ;)
oh boy does turbopascal bring some memories back
that 1TB ssd is a nice find!
and the old dos pc was really interesting with part of schematics / source code for something
I have the same baby AT case as this one, exept mine has the 7 segment clock display. Mine is a pentium 166 with 64mb sim ram, QDI explorer II board, ISA sound blaster ct2890T and a cirrus logic 5446 graphics card. Bought it installed with win 98se (and the win98se cd included) happy ebay find about 3 weeks ago :)
That circular connector on the back is for a mouse...
Really nice car boot finds this week Rich, well worth the €40!
You're as bad as me, I'm always buying bargain machines to flip and then deciding I want to keep them and searching for a use for them 😅
Go through the folders of the DOS pc. There are a lot of interesting foldernames: PCAD (eda software?), Toniamp (amp design?), preampli, QFdesign, Dynaudio (audio brand?), plspeaker etc. etc.
omg the second pc is old, i haven't seen DIN keyboard port in a very long time. Also i havent opened an AT machine in over 25 years so lol nice ordinosaurus rex you found there XD
My guess is that the first pc was used as some sort of multi-user machine. One monitor per user and serial connections for the keyboards or mice. I made a similar setup with a Linux OS but with the keyboards/mice all connected via USB. The reason for the DVI-HDMI adapters (which I also used) is to standardise on the monitors.
That DOS/Win3.1 machine is a real score!! Super programme.
Interesting, it also boots into Windows much faster than my recent PCs running Windows 10 with SSD on them!
Richard, keep these videos coming, thanks for sharing. Paul, USA
You need a zip drive for the second machine so the circle is complete.
note, working 5.25" drives are pretty valuable
Glad the sandy motherboard is working, I had my money on a blown south bridge. It's really common for them to go bad on boards of that era.
That’s a decent board. It’s like 15 yo but it should still rock and roll. Plus, they’re still worth cash. That ASUS Dual Processor TPU/EPU is an excellent find. Hell, the 1TB hard drive was an excellent find… everything else is gravy!!
PATH might have helped speed things up lol
Might be interesting to show the free Samsung disk software which can report on the usage and status of their disks. Just wondering if it might explain the slow loading time.
Thanks Richard hell ya man!
My interest peaked when I saw MPLAB and its for PIC and AVR what version is it please ? Have a look and see if there is any EDA software from that period as what we have seen suggests the owner made PCBs as well ! and of course the picture featured Valves...cheers.
At 25:30 there is a folder PCAD. According to Wikipedia that seems to have been an EDA.
Heya, a very nice I5 MB what can handle I7 cpu very nice. oh wouw a dos 5.0 with win 3.1 that a nice oldy. 1 off the better carbooty I think
I vaguely recall Wang machines were generally early word processors used in typing pools.
You are correct, I was chosen to do the Wang Advanced Word Processing course to train others on how to us it. Very high tech at the time lol.
Good luck finding a serial mouse that works today. They never even worked very good in the past. But that motherboard may have the pins for a PS/2 connector? If it does then you might be able to add a riser to it. PS/2 predates that PC by 10 years. So it conceivably could support it. There's also projects to adapt modern mice to serial. That may be a better solution today.
The funny port Richard said was maybe a scanner port on the back was indeed a ps/2 mouse port, it's a breakout panel :) btw i picked up a brand new serial mouse less than a week ago for £30 and also bagged a brand new AT keyboard for £20 :D
@@DJLKM1 oddly those keyboards all are adaptable. A passive adapter works from the big plug to the PS/2 plug. But mice are different. Well serial is different. Basically an AT keyboard jack is a PS/2 plug. At least as far as I know.
@@1pcfred Very true you can buy AT keyboard adapters, you can also buy serial adpaters for a ps/2 mouse, back in the day some thoughtful brands gave you a complimentry adapter in the box.
Indeed ps/2 is just a mini Din with an extra pin evolved from the 5 pin AT din. The 6th pin if i recall is actually N/A lol. Only main difference between the two standards is the clock.
@@DJLKM1 a PS/2 to serial adapter only works with specific mice. The conversion happens inside the mouse when it detects what it is plugged into. That's because serial is not compatible with PS/2. Only Logitech and Microsoft really worked. Basically if you didn't get the adapter getting an adapter wouldn't do you any good. But that didn't stop plenty of people from trying and being disappointed.
@@DJLKM1 I have a logitech serial to ps2 mouse adapter that came with a car boot PC a few weeks ago but it doesn't work, even with my old rubber ball PS2 mouse. Someone said those adapters only works with specific PS2 mice
I have a whole box of serial mice. You want one or two?
You could run autoexec in win3.1
I have a couple AT keyboards hanging in my nostalgic pile lol. Sealed Microsoft DOS 6.22 retail box lol bunch of other things
I find AT keyboards, it's Serial mice I have a problem with.
I have a set of MS-DOS 6.22 floppies with their serial number hex edited out. Warez do you want to get today! I think Microsoft actually open sourced MS-DOS 5? No they just opened up to 4.
@@LearnElectronicsRepairhello Richard, there are a couple of projects I have heard about, ScrapComputing have the "Serial Mouse Blaster PCB" and ISABlaster DirtyRAT project and Necroware have the "PS/2 to serial port mouse adapter".
lol yea I could tell it was a smoker pc before you even said anything 😅
Where there's smoke there's fire
it was more likely to be a 8gig kit, I dont think you can get 8gig sticks of ddr3
You must be mistaken the common capacities found on DDR2 sticks with the ones on DDR3, I have a i5 3570 a 4570 and a AMD FX8320 with 2x8GB, not sure if 16GB SIMMs where workstation/server only.
Crazy to think that with DDR5 24GB, 32GB and 48GB sticks are a thing on end user platforms nowadays.
The 860 QVO is the despicable quad cell flash SSD. A Z77 is my newest and best computer. It never made sense to upgrade. It's amazing how much freedom you have and money you save when not a gamer. 😉
QVO are the cheapest Samsung SSDs u can buy vs the EVO or the EVO Pros
first
I bought one just like this from you, Richard. It's a performer! I installed a Xeon 1290, 32Gb RAM, boot SSDs, SAS controller, 2-18GB spinny drives and Asus Essence sound card. It boots W10 and Ubuntu Studio.
first
Well done. Now watch the video 😜
