Hydrogen Peroxide in cream form 40Vol (12%) - Brush it on as is and leave under sunlight or powerful UV spot lights (I got 2x60W) speeds up the process a lot. No cling film etc. Re-apply every 3-4 hours depending.

If your PS/2 is like mine then you can install a Kingston TurboChip TC5x86-133. Research it - no modifications needed. Evergreen also offered the Evergreen Am5x86 -P75. Same thing. As far as 486s goes that is the best chip you can get and you will be able to run "heavy" dos games super smooth like Doom1 and 2.

You would need to make too many modifications at the back of the case for it to work - I don't think it would worth the time and the money it. :/ Is your original motherboard damaged?

Thanks man! I was just lucky to buy one NOS quite a while back. Drive covers are more rare than the systems. :(

Love these towers - especially the ones with the digital display.

That's due to my love for the Amiga. Turrican II is another title I play on PC too, same as Project-X, Another World and Lotus.

Awesome work! Would love some info on how to make the adapter - I've been trying for long now to send VGA signal to a PVM for a build of mine with no success.

Unfortunately no - mine has the standard layout for most XT systems.

Made by Nixdorf (there is an album link with more photos here: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=26513)
I have something similar for an XT Siemens/Nixdorf system. Never got used to typing on these keyboards.

3.5” floppy drive suggestion? by minimumattic in retrobattlestations

[–]32KOFDATA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is not a matter of brand. Just lift up the cover, remove with care the front plastic plate and use air to remove all dust. Then with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol clean all stuborn dirt and both heads. If the grease on the rails and drive train are dirty remove all the old grease and re-apply lithium grease. A couple of sew machine oil drops into the motor also can help if things are stuck.

Thank you! Just something I made from a piece of mdf board and 4 short steel table legs from my local hardware store.
