I had a huge collection of pirated videos in the early 90s.. one of the pleasures of having a fast internet connection quite early on 😅 Yeah I do have the original cable for it. Shame it wouldn’t fit into the 630 DOS i have, it already uses the PDS slot for part of its setup. It coulda been...

I have an MPEG card for the 630 somewhere but I’ve never used it. I should really have a play with it someday!

Here’s to the crazy ones…

I bet it's a 300MHz CPU that's been underclocked.

Where in the UK are you?

It’s actually pretty easy to do. The logic board anyway.. I imagine the screen probably needs it doing too. Do you have any prior experience?

I would suggest you use polymer caps for that rather than tantalum… I’m not even sure if caps of those ratings come as tantalum’s. I’ve done all my duos using polymers and they work great. (I was almost tempted to offer to do it myself but tbh I’d be too worried about something going horribly...

The weird thing is, for the first time in years.. I’m not riddled with anxiety. It may well be because for the next couple of weeks I can’t do anything, so I literally have nothing to worry about.. but it feels so good. It’s like having suffered toothache for ages then one morning waking up...

Nothing Mac related but a conquest none the less. I’ve been training to become a driving instructor, and I just passed my ADI Part 2 (of 3) test which I failed miserably back a few months ago, so I’m exceptionally relieved and excited about it. Of course now I need to start worrying about the...
