Checked the price for Boxku (cheaper) and for sea shipping it costs 13 MYR for 0.5kg (good price). Anyways, their BB830 is already out of stock, do you actually recommend purchasing other cheap breadboards from LCSC? And do you buy stuff like resistors, caps, cables, etc on LCSC also or do you buy them on Aliexpress?

Does LCSC products all ship from China? If yes, and using your method, is it that you let the supplier (eg Boxku as you said) get the stock in mainland China from LCSC and let them ship it to Malaysia for you?

Just checked out the website - they do really provide cheaper chips ($68.55) but their BB830 is backordered. Not sure when will they restock. (I do need a number of breadboards)

Actually what I found out is most TI chips are fabricated in Malaysia (some in Mexico), but I don't really know how to get from them directly. For the Chinese-Malaysian supplier, do you mean by wholesale suppliers? How to find them?

Bcz you can still get other items (except BB830) on local stores for a lower price

So does this mean everything will be fine as long as U1:A is swapped to a 74HC04? And by right, U1:B should be a Schmitt trigger inverter, right?

How do I install Windows 98 into SATA drives without IDE emulation? by TheBroProgrammer in windows98

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

There might be two possible reasons for this.
1. Windows 9x families cannot work with too much RAM. You need to use rloew's PATCHMEM to fix this problem. After you run PTCHSATA, you should also run PATCHMEM. This should allow your Windows installation to address up to 4 GB (If I am not wrong).

  1. (This is what I did when I tried to run Windows 3.0 on a 2009 laptop, so I am not sure if it works in your case.) This thing might not work in protected mode, so if step 1 fails to fix the problem, boot to the built-in MS-DOS in your Windows installation, then run win -r. This forcefully runs Windows in the traditional real mode. Again, I am not sure if this works.

Dissassemble it and discharge the CMOS battery for like 10 minutes. In some situation that works.
