/retro/ - old shit incorporated

Unless you want to fuck with it more go for it. From what you said, it will be in a good home.

Maybe someone can better explain, but why do 2000's Laptops look so ugly compared to 90's and 80's ones? Mains things that happen in the 00's was making laptop's similar which might be factor. Thoughts? Will there one day be an interest in getting them?

Brought this 1988 Halikan LX-20, didn't come with power cord and the port is a DIN-5 with the male end on the laptop. So not sure how I'm going to get it working again.

Also the orginal owner fucking took the ESC off it before delivering. How can I order a new ESC in nearly the same colour as it uses standard mech keyboard switches?

You may want to look into the used Cisco cards (Aironet), though I don't know how Win98 compatibility is... I have one and its an excellent card for my Win2k Thinkpad T21 being an actual business/enterprise Cisco product instead of some Linksys shit. Lots of work has been done with them, they used to be a big go-to years ago.

I guess it wasn't used too much, but still strange how it works so well while every other lithium ion battery that old is dead

>>61804650
All PCCards with 802.11g should still have support for it
But check if the slot of your laptop is PCMCIA only, or PCCard. The former only supports really old cards

>>61805199
You also gotta look at the notches. If you see a grounding strip like >>61804769 and >>61804870 , it's CardBus.

Latest acquisition: Gateway 2000 Solo 2100

It's fairly beat up (probably due to all the stuff that was thrown on top of it in ewaste). I checked the hard drive (which still works thankfully) and there is an intact installation of Windows 98 on it, so that's something.

Good idea, gonna get myself one of those sweet PC-98 laptops made by NEC.

>>61810731
Suck off a hardcore collector?

I wanted one of these for my vaporwave room, the problem with those NEC machines is that they were really popular in Mori Sekei CNC machines, so the ones online are inflated industry prices for companies looking for identical replacements.
The plus side to that, if you can pay the 700-3000$ for one, they come fucking mint, full restorations are usually done by large resellers

Similar, but much newer, we have a few HAAS machines that run on SGI indys, and when the sgi finally kicked the bucket, we mailed it off to some guy and got a replacement that looked brand new. My boss said it cost 2300$
But my god, a maxed Indy in mint condition

Not really. Just buy one from Japan, you can get a PC-98 desktop or laptop for around 200-300 bucks with postage (depending where you live).

>>61811347
>we have a few HAAS machines that run on SGI indys
Where Indys common during the 90's? Where they expensive? From what little I know, it sounds silly to manufacture CNC machines with obscure/uncommon hardware. I mean I guess i can understand standard controllers might not cut it for 5 axis lathes and such but still, unless that shit wasn't standardize yet in the 90's.

>not living in Japan

I can walk to hardoff right now and buy garbage pc-98s to sell to you

>>61811581
The HAAS machines have live 3D displays of what the machine is doing and even show indicators for tool strain and multi point laser temperature scans. Gimmicky shit, but needed a somewhat powerful machine at the time
Also, its common practice for CNC manufacturers to jew it up by loading their controllers with excessive hardware in order to make it seem more expensive. The much newer BTB machines have 2nd gen i5's and i7's, GTX 470's and 16gb of ram in them. And they literally ran XP and only needed to display a basic 2D gui that's mainly pictures and text. BTB charges nearly 15000$ for the consoles if they break out of warranty.

I was told that Fanuc likes to charge out the ass for simple g and m codes and routines which are already baked into the controller, basically the equivalent to on disc dlc.

Either you flash a rew BIOS update image onto it externally or get a second hand dead board and hope the chips alive.

>>61812452
Sure, but it's not the BIOS that stores the password, it's the security EEPROM that stores it.

Replacing the BIOS chip just opens a whole new world of pain without solving the original issue.

Thanks to a new charger, I was finally able to breathe some new life into this laptop. However I didn't realise at first how super low budget oriented it was. The screen has some of the worst ghosting and backlight glow I've seen, there's no ethernet port (this laptop is from the late 2000), there's space for two PC cards but only one slot has connectors, it has no hardware midi synthesizer. It's amazing the battery still works though.

What do you guys use your retro computers for?

I thought about setting an old laptop up as some kind of jukebox

>>61817768
One time I used a bunch as props for a Church VBS (space theme). Rigged up a bunch of consoles with cardboard, ductape, spraypaint, and CRTs. The central piece had 3 machines running "cat /dev/random", lots of scrolling gibberish and pc speaker beeps. Another was an XT portable clone, with amber screen, repeatedly TYPEing a file of random 1s and 0s (snuck a 2 in there :3). I even jerry-rigged a video streaming setup with old laptops and a webcam (set everthing up a week before with whatever random garbage I had) so mission control could receive transmissions from a "spaceship". Kids loved it.

In general I just like dinking around with them. Pentium x86 and up gets linux since I have no nostalgia or interest in early wintel setups. Other systems I like to dig up info and original software. Portable XT has a memory monitor in ROM, so I plunk around with machine code sometimes.

Whatever happened to the autistic sad faggot that made these threads sometimes?
He used to push rules and bitch who can post and who can't.
IIRC last time I saw him, he got butthurt at some thread he didn't like and tried to make his own again with "muh rules" but got BTFO by someone else making a thread without rules.

Man that was one dumb fucker. Glad he's gone.

Nah, nothing newer than 1985 allowed inside. Its kind of like technological meditation. No smartphones, no internet, no modern games, no LED screens or lights or anything more than an indicator light.

Its really not that interesting anyway, its a small den sort of room with some big leather sofas, some basic old school Hi-Fi and a couple bookcases, I have a PC/AT with original accessories on a desk

I only call it the vaporwave room because due to the pastel blue walls, if I were to get like salmon pink sofas it would totally look like a vaporwave meme

Lets put it this way, taking an old IBM case from the 80's and putting a new PC inside it is a fucking sin. Even if there are no guts inside it, just the case for a ps/2 or AT XT whatever is more valuable due to a rarity and historic standpoint. And there are lots of people out there looking for these machines to restore them. But as soon as you cut holes for motherboard I/O and an atx power supply, that case is considered destroyed
There are only so many of these old machines left in the world

However, doing it in a machine that nobody gives a shit about is fun. Mid to late 90's common mass produced desktops are usually sacrilege free when you have to gut and modify them. Theres loads of them since theyre from the PC boom and since they're mass produced theyre really not special

how do you put a modern psu in these? old cases do not have the fan holes needed for modern psus and i would not want hot air from the psu into the case that already has shitty airflow because it does not have holes for case fans.

>>61822910
Looks fine. Just find a PSU that doesn't have an internal intake on the top and that should work the same as the original design.

>>61823286
Not the anon, but one thing you should know about modern power supplies is that not many of them have a lot of amps on the 5V rail so you have to pick one carefully.

>>61823286
old style psus are hard to find and are usually only shitty chink brands that will explode or start house fires.

>>61823286
I made a dual Xeon sleeper in one of those a while ago. You can use a regular modern PSU just fine, the fan will be on the bottom. Also, keep in mind you'll only be able to fit up to ~110mm tall tower coolers, and the board uses a weird mounting system based on hooks and a bracket with a single screw on the back. The hooks can be adjusted for ATX, mATX and Baby-AT.

Pic?

What's a good beige ATX case to start with for a sleeper mod build? My short list is the IBM NetVista desktop case and Dell Dimension 4100.

The Dell will probably be much easier since all I probably need to do is to make the IO plate opening bigger. The IBM will require some creativity because there's no place for an exhaust fan at all, so I will probably need to do some cutting and welding. The IBM case is much nicer looking though.

My ultimate choice would be the same Packard Bell case I had when I was a kid, but that would require a substantial amount of welding etc and probably frankensteining with a donor mATX case. Problem is I can't find it for less than $200 in good condition, which is ridiculous.

Are there any other good cases to consider? Beige is a must.

>>61825856

Nope it was this. I know it's nostalgia goggles but I still think it's a great looking case. I hated the hardware at the time though.

>>61826639
im op, i didnt say retro had a timeframe, im just saying that a pentium 4 from the early 2000's really isnt at a point where its "retro" yet
everything today can still technically be done on a pentium 4 system short of the majority of modern games
my thinkpad G40 with its 2.8ghz northwood p4 in it is still perfectly capable of browsing the web, playing music, some old games and running semi modern windows smoothly. Its capable of Window 7 comfortably, but can do 8.1 and 10 if i dont mind the sluggishness
stuff newer than that is nowhere near retro, LGA 775 stuff in particular
old, yes, retro, no
also im 20 years old, that PS/2 i own in the OP post is 10 years older than i am, i recognize that what i consider retro is different than what someone older would, but that doesnt make systems from 15 years ago retro

and this is why i dont impose rules when i make the thread, all i emphasize is that we want to see old shit, not necessarily retro

As far as I know the system doesn't pass POST however the the behavior is inconsistent.

>Power On
No beeps, fan runs, nothing displayed on screen.

>First reset
Four short beeps are heard, fans run, nothing on screen

>Second reset
Sometimes 4 beeps, rarely a long beep.

It is something that I have not been able to figure out too well. At first I thought it was the video card but that seems to be in a fine condition. After researching the beeps I am not sure if it's the international clock or battery related. I did notice that the batteries in the system were from the original install more than 20 years ago, they clearly leaked but the case for the batteries were on the outside of the board and beside the PSU. I removed the batteries, checked to see if any heavy damage was done and popped in new batteries before starting it up for the first time in over a decade.

I knew the system had some issue before it was shelved indefinitely in my grandma's house, and I figured it was probably CMOS battery related or something simple.

I still want to get the system running, aside from it being my grandma's, it was my first system as well.

>>61828225
Interesting, probably should start with a good clean, re-socket the memory and check all socketed chips and wires, the CMOS battery could be it though, some systems won't start up without one installed and full.

Very nice though anon. Good luck!

Do NOT plug a standard ATX PSU into one of these old P2/3 Dell systems - they use non-standard wiring alongside an additional 6-pin connector for 3.3V. Either buy an adapter, or look up the pinout and make one yourself:

>>61834505
Yeah damn, I thought that guy was just going to pop in a new PSU along with a new motherboard. Prebuilt PCs from pretty much every era are notorious for having weird proprietary crap everywhere. That case will probably take a standard ATX so if you must, you could get a regular standard motherboard from whatever generation you want.

>>61833065
That Trinitron is gorgeous. Are you just running composite to it? The text looks surprisingly readable.

>>61834505
Pretty sure slot Dells in those cases just used regular old Intel-designed 440BX boards like a lot of other OEMs. Are you thinking of the later, squarer models like the Optiplex GX1?

>>61822517
XT with monochrome display

>>61827805
anyone know what goes into the slot at the bottom right? an extra midi chip?

Is this /comfy/? It's just an old radio with some big ass speakers. I'm pretty sure it was made in Hungary in the socialist era.

>>61835451
Really comfy, are you an SWL/DXer?

>>61825136
I have one but it's got half as much ram as yours does. I love that card its incredibly nostalgic for me. When I was a kid we had one and I loved the demo center thingie it came with. I played the shit out of the moto racer demo.

I use brushes. A small brush and then something tiny like a toothbrush. You dont need to be too gentle. I like isopropyl cut with water and a toothbrush personally. Also yeah for loose dust use a leaf blower or oil free air compressor.

>>61830103
If there continues to be a demand, eventually a niche market for new/refurbished CRTs will emerge. My understanding is that the tubes themselves can last a very long time, and the rest is replaceable.

Not quite computer related, however I encountered one of these in the wild today. I was able to reset the dial tone and make a free call.

>>61835681
I don't know about you guys but theres still plenty of crt tv's and screens up on local ads where i live, a lot of them free or up for cheap. Only issue with the tvs is that they're usually ~40" to 50" heavy fuckers.

>>61835468
Oh no, I'm staying at a friend for the summer, his uncle has all sorts of comfy old tech and he let us borrow this one. We just use it as speakers to listen to music on, but the radio part still works.

>>61835750
I'm still hoping some of the technologies that promised lighter, shorter CRT-like displays will deliver.

Rad regardless. I just ordered a shortwave from China, was thinking about starting a thread about it on /g/ but I had no idea if anyone was actually interested haha.

>>61835877
Interesting. I've never really thought about it, but I guess I just assumed radio programmes weren't a thing anymore, kinda how people don't really buy newspapers now. The only radio stations in Hungary play classical music and some degenerate edm, and it hasn't occurred to me to listen to international stations for some reason.
What kind of stuff are you gonna listen to/look for? Also where are you locally?

Now that you posted it, I remember having an Armada E500 and a Armada 110. Both run 98SE.

I'm in the North East US. I stumbled upon an article about those spy-transmission 'Numbers Stations' that are still on shortwave, and remembered I had a big desktop SW radio as a kid that I loved. I got a well-regarded one on AliExpress after getting into a google rabbit hole and I've been using http://kiwisdr.sk3w.se to surf the shortwaves in the meantime. There's actually still a shit ton of content on shortwave, and it's kind of cool since it's global and wholly analog, it's hard to censor, etc. It's still really important in the 3rd world for getting information. While local AM and FM stations are largely dead, especially outside the US, SW seems like it has a long life ahead of it. You can even send images and ASCI files over it now with the right gear. I'm listening to the news out of Japan in english right now, and I'm pretty interested in getting news from overseas without US media bullshit. There's also some wild Indian / mid-east music too. Sorry for the rambling, I've been reading about this shit for like 2 days and am pretty fascinated with it.

I wonder if any of the floppys still work.

>>61836087
>Armada E500
I have one, I posted about it a month back about it being in boot loop, finely got it to work, turns out someone deleted all the user files and some of the system files. Recovered some of the files using photorec and did a fresh install of windows xp.

It's funny because specs online state it's suppose to have a Pentium III but mine has a Pentium II, never understood why.

>>61836133
Damn, all this is pretty surprising to me.
>hard to censor
There used to be a counter commie underground radio here way before I was born, it was just a handful of college age kids who carried their broadcasting gear with them in backpacks and snuck up to roofs to play illegal music like the beatles and whatnot. They would do it for a bit at a time then bounce when the authorities located the signal. My mom used to sit by the radio for hours on end as a teen, waiting for them to come on so she could record some of the stuff they were playing. I've always thought that was pretty cool.

>>61809946
Do not pull the battery it will brick it.

>>61836268
Yeah, pirate radio is really interesting and still exists in many cities around the world to-day. South Korea and Japan both pump shortwave into North Korea in the hopes they'll reach some some N Koreans or captured Japanese citizens. North Korea actually has a jamming apparatus in place to try and stop it; but it's all about transmitter power at the end of the day. There's a lot of propaganda/govt sponsored programming on the airwaves, but a lot of independent stuff too. Tuning through the bands blindly is like analog web-surfing in a way, a unique experience at any rate.

>>61836247
It's probably just an earlier one, they went from the 400 MHz Pentium II PE up to 1 GHz Pentium III-Ms.

It's a Satellite S2800-400, apparently a more consumer oriented model. I think the manual mentions a runtime of 2-3 hours.

Yeah, it's Hungarian
Videoton (VTCD) still manufactures most CDs and DVDs sold in Hungary

I have a pentium 3 laptop with """valuable""" information on the HDD, what's a good tool to back the whole thing up onto an USB drive? Will Gparted run with 128MB RAM?

Wonder if there's a market for pseudo-retro tech like an SSD raid array in the form factor of a 3.5 inch floppy.
