Gregory's ServerI'm also doing the other side as well where the damage was less extensive. unfortunately the DC-IN legend is damaged and the connector icon is half missing, so I need to figure out how to replace it. a water slide decal might work.

 @tubetime All this is making me miss my old Thinkpad 701 Butterfly. Damn that keyboard design was so neat.  the operation won't start until the parallel port is ready--i had to pull the BUSY line low with a jumper, and now i instantly get this error! good luck figuring that one out  @tubetime @tubetime I'd really like the W variant to use external bubble memory just 'coz 1980s Intel. 🙂 But what the heck is it, only thing I can see is a Japan fab variant mentioned here: https://www.cpu-galaxy.at/cpu/Ram%20Rom%20Eprom/Microcontroller/Intel%208X196%20section.htm Even the 8XC196Lx Supplement PDF linked there does not mention it.  @tubetime *takes out a bucket of popcorn*  i found a really good quality of life improvement for working with this machine. as with any PS/2, you can "bless" any boot disk and the PS/2 will think it is a Reference Disk. see http://www.tavi.co.uk/ps2pages/ohland/refpartn.htm   @tubetime ESDI? That's a name I haven't heard in a very long time. @tubetime It's at this point that the reader realizes they have been trapped in a thread, snaking straight into a Micro Channel sound card. 🙂  @tubetime I don’t know why I’m surprised that IBM used MCA in ThinkPads, but it does make sense! @tubetime Where's the code setting up the DMA channel so the parallel port doesn't read/send data from the weeds? :D |
@tubetime Paint pen and a steady hand? ;)
Your work is great to watch!
