I really should post something, eh?
Aug. 31st, 2004 02:50 amUm...
I have a couple dissected computers on my living room floor.
Uhhhh...
I went home to Utica this weekend. My mom now has a thoroughly un-modern Quadra 700 instead of a Mac IIsi. I was going to slap better RAM into it, but I'd left it here. Next time, she'll have more than 8 MB on that 25 MHz 68040. It has a fresh CMOS battery and all of her work.
I picked up the Soyo mobo from Scudder's girlfriend in Albany. I slapped in the AMD Athlon Palomino 1900 and a stick of RAM. Everything spins, but there is no video and no beeping. The CPU is likely verkakte. Hey, it's a chance to learn. Once it works, I have my TV-recordin', tune-tossin' box. Maybe a trip to a store is in order...
...or sleep. I'm tired. Laundry got done. Geeking has resumed. When I finish, I can begin to create.
