It took a few more days but...IT'S DONE! Needed to wait for the Hitachi GD-2500 4x DVD drive (same one I had back in the day, OMG the tray noise was a ratatouille/anton ego memory/flashback!) in order to load Windows 2000 off of CD. I swapped the GPU for a GeForce 2 Ti - kinda appropriate age...

There's not been anything for director of policies to do for 2 years, roughly. Any work at this point would be mostly minor. There's not been any need for a PR liason, the secretary fulfills that role for the most part. Moderators don't require a board directorship to function. Most of the...

As i'm as old as the dirt beneath my feet, when Slot-A stuff came out, I was rocking a Pentium II 233Mhz (running at 266MHz), on an Intel i440LX board.

Oh, that's wierd - we have a board meeting tonight, i'll ask the admins if they know what might be wrong.

Ooooh the holy grail! I know one brainstorm bbu was decapped to hopefully reverse engineer it... But not seen that pds card before...

We have a retro proxy for the forum, you might be able to view it on a Palm device, I know it works with Newton!

IIRC there was a discussion about this, making the site accessible to vintage machines - as we separate the web front end from the database, a 'reader' application could be developed, perhaps using HyperCard, to pull the live database data. I think @eric did a feasability test a few years ago...

Thank you @eric for your quick work, honestly the outage happening now shouldn't have affected anyone too badly, it's Christmas after all!

Oooh, wanna upload the whole PDF? ;)

@XodiumLabs has done this, the CMD 642 is a direct pin compatible replacement.
