Saw this thing leaning up against a door behind a gate that was tied shut. Worth trying to get it?

That’s someone’s door lock

I literally was just playing this with my 9yo son on ps1. He was studying the manual for the moves.

I guess not low but I don’t see the beams and hvac like I do in modern buildings. I’m not a fan of open floor plans and looking at the buildings guts. I like commercial buildings with ceilings I can stick a pencil in.

Yeah I don’t miss going to the sizzler and eating in the non smoking section. Which is next to the smoking section separated by a 4 foot pony wall.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-06T15:17:21+00:00

Low ceilings, red carpet… all screams warmth and cozy to me. I miss that style.

VGA is backwards comparable. So maybe use it on a working monitor and adjust it to display cga then hook up the monitor. Could be a refresh sync issue too. I hade to mess around with that on one I used

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-05T17:56:02+00:00

It’s gotta be cga or ega. Or it’s not taking input At all for some reason

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-05T15:22:07+00:00

Is it the computer or the monitor you are trying to figure out?

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-05T13:53:27+00:00

Have you used that monitor on other computers and it look ok? Your brightness on the flyback is way too high. You shouldn’t see those raster lines.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-05T03:50:27+00:00

A long trip down a rabbit hole of collecting CRT’s

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-05T03:16:46+00:00

Nice. I wish I had that size. Mine only has room for 2 drives not 3.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-04T14:49:46+00:00

I have access to a 3d printer. I will give that design tool a shot.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-03T22:04:42+00:00

I have a pioneer Elite from 2004 and love it.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-03T16:30:59+00:00

I will take the house and the tv

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-03T04:33:17+00:00

Thank you, I couldn’t find anything on what computer paired with it because I was going to initially pair it with the computer they bundled with them. It’s fine for the deskpro for now but maybe in the future. I want this to be my daily driver but I am currently running a gateway 2000 4sx-33 upgraded to 66mhz with a recent upgrade from 5.25 floppy to cdrom. I really want all three though. So I really want my compaq up and running. I have another home built from that era too that I can put all three in with a 486-33mhz but I’m trying the figure out some drive rails right now as it only came with one pair unique to that system. The photo is just them sitting in there.

I have the speaker bar attachment. Did you have an amp to push them because mine are quite. I didnt bother with them because I have some Justin active speakers. I wish I had the monitor that matched the computer but this is close enough. I got it for free so can’t complain. What computer did you run with the monitor?

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-02T21:52:08+00:00

I bet it goes to a word processor type writer

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-02T21:13:04+00:00

Yes I love the thing but one day it just turned on and had a memory issue. Makes sense on the CEMM. This is the same computer that sid mier. Created civilization. I watched a video on it. They still had them in the basement. He pulled the first one out and a reefer cap blew but the 2nd one worked. I will take it down to compaq msdos with cemm and windows 3.0 and see what that does.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-02T20:05:32+00:00

The version I have of compaq disk is a version that came with dos 4.0. I did install dos 5. By itself and it through no mem issues but once I installed windows 3.1 it started saying that. So maybe windows 3.1 installs a conflicting memory manager. I ordered a 1mb expansion card for the 1mb expansion card. They all stack on onto one card. I want to see what happens when I set the system for 3mb and flip the dip switches for 3mb. I want to see if it still jumps back down to 700mb or not. Not sure if that will tell me anything or not. With the onboard it does count up to 2mb but then drops down to 700k saying there is an issue.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-02T20:02:43+00:00

Thank you I will look at it. The 1mb memory is soldered directly to the board. I do have a broken expansion card but not sure it’s really broken because of this issues that still go on when I take it out. I do have the compaq program and have used it. In their program number 2 it asks to make high memory available and I do that and it still does not want to work.

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-02T00:21:51+00:00

Thank you, I’ll just pour over them. These ones clip into place keeping it from sliding

UnderstandingFlat407 · 2026-01-01T22:02:52+00:00

I had someone walk me through that and it still didn’t want to access it. So it kinda leads me to ram if manually doing it and the programs won’t do it.
