Durosity’s conquests and collection

[cheesestraws]

What does "chunder" mean? My dictionary came up empty and thought I meant either "chunky" or "thunder."

'vomit', I'm afraid

Ah, I see. British slang strikes again?

At any rate, the post makes sense now. I agree that it is indeed a very unpleasant sounding activity. Anyone is so inflicted is likely suffering from an excessive accumulation of said items, and are in need of serious help.

Australian/NZ mostly.

 

[CC_333]

Even worse!

I have a ton of stuff I'm sure you'd enjoy cramming your garage full with, but I'm on the wrong side of the wrong continent.

Then there's all this sordid nonsense about tariffs and inflation, else I'd have it shipped to you!

How many shipping containers do we need to rent?

I assume you do know the song “Down Under” “by “Men at Work” fronted by “Colin Hay”?

One might be sufficient.

Yes, I do! Why do you ask?

If only I could afford one!

Yes, I do! Why do you ask?

Cos that's what I was quoting:

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Although I always chuckle at that because Colin Hay, their lead singer, is actually Scottish!

Same!

Cos that's what I was quoting:

Oooohh, OK! I've listened to that song dozens, maybe hundreds of times and I never caught that!

Interesting!

Out of fairness, though, he did emigrate to Australia with his family when he was 14, so even though he wasn't born there, he can properly claim to be Australian because he's a citizen, presumably.

Oh indeed, but it also means we can claim him for our own!

Funny how that happens.. I think I only know it because of VH1s Pop Up Video which mentioned something about it in its ‘trivia’.

So unfortunately I’ve not had much going on lately conquest wise, but I did get a BNIB sealed copy of Starfleet Academy a little while ago.. ironically I got it before the TV series started, and I’ve only just opened the box now after it was cancelled!

I’ve managed to find a replacement bezel for my Quadra 840av, finally making an almost complete machine! Just need to get one of those ATX adapter boards that @croissantking made!

I can put a V1.0 one in the post if you want, I have 4 PCBs I don’t need … it needs a couple of bodges so you may prefer to do your own run when I upload the V1.1 gerbers

Also since when did you acquire an 840AV?

Oh that would be lovely! I’ve got about 5 power supplies to replace (Two Quadra 800, One 840av, and Two 8100s) so that would be a great starting place! I’ll do the others on a v1.1

Oh I got it ages ago.. amazingly no cap damage, a simple recap got it working.. except of course the PSU. I tried selling it for parts originally but no one was interested so when this bezel turned up on a battery bombed 8100 it was the perfect opportunity to build a complete and near pristine condition unit!

What PSU does the Quadra 800 use? The motherboard connector for Q800 is the older IIcx style 10-pin. 840AV and 8100 use 22-pin. But the PSU has a detachable harness so maybe it just uses the same PSU with a different harness.

Edit: found a pic of the Q800 harness:
