Interesting. Very happy that is an NiMH and not the other explodey type.

Москва – CASIOпея. Вспоминаем уникальный винтажный ноутбук Cassiopeia FIVA MPC-102

Сейчас это удивительное устройство принято относить к категории субноутбуков, но во времена, когда оно только появилось на свет, такого понятия еще не существовало. В середине девяностых японские инженеры решали непростую задачу: они пытались создать небольшое компактное устройство, сопоставимое по весу и габаритам с карманными компьютерами, но при этом способное работать с софтом и под управлением ОС для обычных настольных персоналок. Именно таким девайсом и стал Casio Cassiopeia FIVA MPC-102 — компактный ноутбук с полноценной Windows 98 на борту. А что в нём особенного?

A Brief History of #Cyrix,Or How To Get Sued By #Intel A Lot
Even though Cyrix played by the rules of licensing agreements, Intel would keep suing Cyrix repeatedly since the 1980s well into 1990s, for a total of seventeen times until Cyrix counter-sued for patent violations in May of 1997.

Quite a nice article on #Cyrix, who were a fabless chip designer who make Intel x86-compatible processors in the early days (up to Pentium level).
From that time I still have more fond memories the #IBM "Blue Lightning" #BlueLightning chips and the #NexGen (First to use a RISC core for running x86 code - and subsequently bought out by #AMD)

I do buy a few things off of eBay, but mainly I just window shop. Today I just saw the exact model of my last AT case, a mid-tower which at the time housed a late socket 3 board with a Cyrix 5x86-100 overclocked at 120MHz.

Not buying it, but simply seeing brought back fond memories of LAN parties and mid to late 90s games.

Windows used to report processors in an interesting way, if memory serves.

#Intel: 'Intel Inside'
#AMD: 'Authentic AMD'
#Cyrix: 'Cyrix Instead'

That last always used to make me chuckle.

We did it! We made it to $65535! But just as we set a new goal of $68000, an anonymous #donor has applied BLAST PROCESSING and we have a new goal of getting to one of your favorite #Intel CPUs. How about $80286, $80386, or $80486? Let the audience decide!

@mos_8502 A 30 year old hot take? 😃

I do recall those days. In the mid 1990s, I had built a couple Cyrix-based computers, and I was initially happy with their price/performance. I had a 5x86 80Mhz, and IIRC a 6x86 133+. At some point, I realized the sluggish #Cyrix floating point was holding it back with the next generation of games, so I switched to Intel for my next build.

Also, I had a decent job by then, so I didn't have to settle for a bottom-budget rig.

I can't stop collecting computers... help! 🤓
Picked up 7 PCs today, including; #gateway2000 (#Pentium & #PentiumII), #Cyrix 586 and a few modern-ish ones. Along with a whole stack of software. #chuffed

This #Cyrix 486 upgrade CPU can be used to give your 386-based system a performance boost, although you still need an external FPU if you want it all.

Do you like the design? #RetroComputing

PDF for William Kahan's Beastly Numbers paper:

https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~wkahan/tests/numbeast.pdf

"It seems unlikely that two computers, designed by different people 1800 miles apart, would be upset in the same way by the same two floating-point numbers 65535... and 4294967295... , but it has happened."

Hab ein uralt #laptop gefunden. Läuft noch. Hat ein #Cyrix #586 100Mhz und ganze 24MB RAM und 780MB Festplatte...

Welches aktuelles #Linux wird wohl installierbar sein?

Vorschläge? #Followerpower

@postmodernbrute FTW I found there's only TWO posts under #Cyrix in the entire known Fediverse... :blobcattilt:

Found another chip while cleaning my room: #Cyrix /IBM 6x86 MX. #retrocomputing
