    Just a reminder - TD is not a place for people to start petty, childish arguments. You know who you are - behave like a grown-ass adult.

    Time for an Athlon-XP Build - Project Middlesex (Now with pretty pictures!)

    Wasn't planning on doing dual monitor - Kinda want to pair it with the Dell Trinitron display i pulled out of the skip all those years ago, but finding CRT's in the 2020's is like searching for gold dust. I remember the nForce 2 RAM bank shenanigans - i literally just need a PSU and to...

    Just before the primary gifting period of 2023, I ordered a TinkerDifferent Mug, a TinkerDifferent mouse mat (Classic PCB - woo!) and a TinkerDifferent hoodie for @boopbox123 Other than the slightly fuzzy print on the mouse mat, i'm overall impressed with the price and quality of all of the...

    Be warned, MO drives aren't cheap although the sweet spot is 1.3GB - usually Fujitsu GIGAMO drives.

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    On this particular point - the vendors section had been devoid of any activity. Almost no posts in there, and the ones that existed generally had no updates for several months. I'm not inclined to agree that there was any damage done to vendors, as the vendors were mostly absent, barring...

    Thanks to @max1zzz I now have a period correct 2004 Sony MFP920 - I think i'm now nearly complete, just got to get a cheap ATX power supply and actually re-cap the motherboard now!

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    Hello all - as @Androda mentioned, I'd like to put a longer explanation across to you all. This topic is not something we'd think would be raised, or in this case, seemingly needed. TinkerDifferent was founded to be run by the tinkering/retro/hackerspace community that it served, to be...

    Texas Instruments discontinuing a lot of IC's

    This is more of a heads up - if you're building any Reloaded boards, please now be aware that TI have been curtailing their product lines, so things like the SN75150 (replaces the MC3488 in the SE Reloaded) & SN75175 RS-422/RS-485 serial interface IC's used in the SE/30 Reloaded and more, are...

    Macintosh II supporting more than 8MB of RAM issues

    I presume this would be merely adapting the 16-bit bus to an 8-bit device?

    Probably best to break these posts out into their own diagnostic thread rather than clutter this one.

    One more addition to the project: A Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS! Period correct addition and what's even better? Yep, a fully working and intact front panel in black!
