I can answer that. It stems from an issue that's occurred in a couple other communities, some non-retro computing, where things like a conflict of personalities can cause significant damage to a community or lead to loss of some very important/critical information that really doesn't exist...

Yes, I do agree that a decrease is in positions is sound. The additional positions can be staffed at a later date easily enough with the current policies.

I may be stepping on a landmine here but honestly, it merits asking the question/posing the option since literally no one else seems to have either thought of or remarked on another seemingly obvious option: Licensing. So I'll just ask directly. @bigmessowires, if I/any individual...

Apologies OP but only recently saw this. I'm assuming your account is an admin account. Can you link the KernelEX and instructions you're following? What are the specs of your machine? I have a couple Win2K machines I can follow the same instructions/steps to see what results I get. Off the...

So some (very long overdue) updates. I ended up with an AMD 486DX4-100Mhz chip from a different project system/board and a slightly better 486 board with VLB. Aside from some weird graphics issues in Inner Space (possible bad RAM on the Diamond VLB card) it's been running great! One happy...

Realized I forgot to update this thread. So I ended up getting a second card that was tested/confirmed working. Even after transplanting everything from my working card to the original, it was unresponsive. I couldn't find any damaged traces but considering even with good/known working keyboard...

Working rather well in Win95B with Internet Explorer 3.0 on a 486DX-2 66Mhz!!

Final Update: I ended up just getting a cheap USB 3.0 card with internal headers and plugging the Greaseweazle into it. Now it works just fine. Still don't understand what changed and why a USB 2.0 port doesn't work, but here we are. FWIW I'm using an AMD B650 chipset board.

UPDATE: Figured out the issue and hoo boy it gets even weirder. Apparently, there's something wrong with my USB 2.0 ports not running "fast enough." On pure chance I tried running "gw bandwidth" which led to the thought of connecting it to a USB 3.0 port and trying to write an image. It worked...

Looks very much like it is.

I have two Greaseweazles, a v4.0 and v1 (the one based on an STM32 "Blue Pill") Both have been working flawless for a while now except for recently. The one I used internally in my main Linux system (USB 2.0 header to port, short micro cable, PCB in a printed enclosure) has recently run into a...

Nice!! Yeah the rubber on these older treasures is becoming a problem. I have several little black "footprints" where my AST 486 was sitting for a while. 😒

Old timer here, the Overdrive socket (and Overdrive processors) have an extra pin. It's this extra pin (pin 169) that actually disables the onboard CPU and allows the one in the socket to take over. Without the extra pin, both CPUs are essentially active at the same time and conflicting. It was...

Yup, seems to be back up. I was able to login at least.

Fantastic! Glad you're unblocked and moving forward!
