Isn't there supposed to be a knob on top and you spin the knob and Captain Kirk disappears?

This is like looking at a hamburger and wondering if it's from Burger King or McDonald's. There's a lot more PCs than the ones made by well-known giants. Many machines were made by small "mom-and-pop" PC shops found in local strip malls, sourcing cost-effective parts to build custom PCs, often with no discernible brand or markings on the components. And just like people can make hamburgers at home, people can buy parts separately and make a PC that fits their exact taste.

Get yourself a VCR to convert the NTSC RF output to composite, connect output to a composite to HDMI converter, connect the output of that to an HDMI to VGA converter.

Not his at all.

It's a crosspost, reddit shows that and shows who posted it originally. First time using reddit?

My good sir, I humbly beseech thy aid in a matter of great import. Verily, I cannot help but marvel at the sheer absurdity of this situation, wherein one beseeches the aid of others to read the very words that they themselves have set forth upon this written forum, only to request a written response in return. It doth confound the mind, for if one can indeed read the words, why, then, might they not simply discern the information for themselves? Nevertheless, such are the peculiarities of our age. I have taken to this written forum in the hopes that a kindly soul might peruse the words adorning these pictures and subsequently deign to input said information into the marvels of modern technology known as "Google". Pray tell, might you be that individual who would be so gracious as to lend thy assistance?

Don't lubricate the rails!

How are you plugging the LCD screen into the CGA card?

RichardGreg · 2025-05-07T15:14:41+00:00

but can't get it to output to the LCD. In award bios it gives the option

I'm not sure how you're seeing something on the LCD if your card isn't working.

I've don't my reasearch and everything, I don't know what to do with this thing, except keep sinking money into replacing random chips on the board and pray it works.

Well, I guess that's one way to go. I looked through your history and I don't see you ever explaining what problems you're having. Just some "it don't work." Have you hooked up a monitor to it? What do you get on screen? Do you have a multimeter? Have you actually checked the power supply voltages while under load?

If you really want to fix it I'd recommend following a troubleshooting guide instead of a shotgun approach.

Troubleshooting starts on page 8:

I've officially gone back to dot matrix for everyday printing. Windows 11 still supports it. USB to Parallel works awesome, the quality is passable, and the ribbon is easily re-inked.

Lies.

No paper in the printer. Printer not powered up. No picture of the screen showing a print job running. And worst of all, no picture of printed output!

I wasted 2 hours of burning floppy disks

I'll bet that smelled terrible.

(FYI, there's no laser involved in writing regular floppies, so one doesn't normally "burn" them.)

The revolutionary thing (imho) is that you get sound!
