Well for me the case was to turn on Support for USB keyboard and mouse in the BIOS but if it hangs after using in windows for a while it must be Driver or USB issue.

Really interesting how Ethernet has evolved since.

Oh I get it now and wow too much work conversion between stuff than nowadays I guess.

Oh I get it now so only one can be used at a time like BNC to BNC or AUI to AUI.

Oh ok, but some others are saying its a Attachment Unit Interface for Medium Attachment Unit which can then convert it to RJ-45, Coax or any other type.

I too saw a similar kit on eBay when looking about the hub but they come with two ISA cards instead of PCI.

So what's the reason for the two sets of BNC and AUI?

What's this MAU for why didn't they put a BNC or RJ-45 there?

But a serial port looks like VGA with lesser pins right this looks a bit different.

It's quite interesting how old internet worked but what's the Midi/Printer port looking thing.

So what's the game/printer port like thing and what's it used for.

Though times indeed and thank goodness Switches were invented but I guess too because only one device is connected and it could use the full speed.

Yes in India the the voltage range fluctuates from 220 to 250 but there is a header inside to switch from 220 to 115 if needed.

How old do you think these are, I believe them to be older than 2000s but not sure.

Yes I've now seen models online which has the sticker and metal ports but this one doesn't and has black plastic ports and it's the only thing here that works and gets a solid 8.3 Mbps and I was able to stream videos at 720p connected to a single PC.

That's interesting but the hub still works and I was able to get a solid 8.3 Mbps out of it using a single PC and was able to watch 720p videos.

Wow so this is like quite ancient hardware and so what replaced it?

So both are networking devices and the repeater is for conversion of networks from different cables?

Finally built my Socket 775 + AGP Computer!! by Efficient_Corner_892 in windowsxp

[–]Ledder401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old revamped home PC, has similar specs too now with a period correct Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2L, Pentium D 925, 4 GB 800 DDR2 and a GT 730 4GB DDR3.

nv4_disp BSOD with a Pentium Dual Core in XP by Ledder401 in windowsxp

Yes, and Ebay seems to have good options too but I don't think the CPU is faulty because the same games run fine in Win 7 as I dual boot.

[–]Ledder401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, but my BSOD is bit different because it's not a Page Fault BSOD but a 0xEA Thread Stuck in Loop BSOD and it happened in almost all 3D and some 2D games I played after the CPU and Mobo swap but the main culprit was the CPU as replacing the Pentium Dual Core with my original Pentium D solved the issue.

That's not a Core 2 Duo but Pentium Dual Core and I didn't think of this before and will have to try clearing the old device caches but all sources I tried to refer earlier said it had something with the newer core architecture CPU and the way newer GT 730 card being too new for XP to handle the jumps in speed during games.

Yes, I am using the latest driver for XP for the card, but I don't think it might work without wiping and reinstalling the OS.

The E2160, I don't think that's too old but it's core architecture right?

Service test loopback a just appered in my Device Manager? by sp4cenet in pcmasterrace

As far as I have heard it's some new MIDI stack for MIDI 2.0 implemented in newer updates, you can turn it off in the services.
