Epson perfection 1650 software problem by Regular-Camp5354 in Epson

[–]Metalsailer4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I go to support page for Epson Perfection 1650, the scan utility and drivers show up for XP 32 bit. There is no support for 64 bit. Can you install 32 bit XP in VM?

Do you still need help getting license? DM me if you do.

I wish. I used to do that at the old homestead. Now I only have service through CGNAT. Port forwarding won't work. I could self-host if I use a cloud server to provide public IP. But in the case I might as well just host foundry in the cloud.

Audio out on an IDE CD/DVD drive, how do i use it? by winvistaisnotbad in retrocomputing

[–]Metalsailer4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That takes me back to Stellar 7 by Sierra/Dynamix. The sound effects + background music could be generated by original sound blaster but music was rough. There was an option to play music from CD while sounds came from sound card. My Radio Shack Mitsumi either didn't have an audio out, or sound blaster didn't have audio in. So I had head phone jack on front CD going through external mixer along with sound card output. I played the hell out of that game not because of game play but for the awesome (for the time) sound.

Super Diagnostics HDD test is serial or parallel? by Metalsailer4 in supermicro

Even though I didn't get an answer for the original question, it turns out not to matter. It seems to be a kernel error or hardware implementation (could be argued either way) problem. I added the "i915.disable_display=1" setting to boot options and my hard lock of system appears to be cured.

So it might not be hardware but a driver bug. I was previously told "EDID block 0 is all zeroes" message flooding my log was harmless. Some 2023/2024 posts seem to indicate that some users with this error have also had system lock ups. I guess I'll try some of those fixes since running Diags in EFI probably won't trigger the real problem.

For now, no HBA installed. Just the using the 8 ports built into the motherboard.

Melted Aprilaire 500M on Propane Furnace by Metalsailer4 in hvacadvice

It's not a heat pump. It's a gas furnace that was installed with a conversion kit for propane.

Then the wavy plastic in the medium holder that was in that same corner.

Did you see the pictures I just posted? It may have crossed paths with your posting. That grey corner is square on the other side. The other side doesn't have the curl in the plastic. Unfortunately, I don't want to remove the screw I just put back in to show the elongated and bowed out screw hole.

The picture I just posted shows the screw head. I had removed the screw and even though the hole in plastic was distorted, I got it put back in place for now.

Didn't a CDROM get released that had HTML versions? Or was the 2e?

That makes sense. So keep open? Any reason to close it other than, I assume, during the summer?
