  1. continuing my pipeline of turning discord rambles into more coherent threads which may turn in to refined blog posts and maybe youtube content someday 🤔

    okay i'm lookin' for real hardware to run Citadel-86 on

    lets use some of my expansive collection of test equipment to see how much power this Pentium 266 MMX laptop burns at the wall

    i managed to spike it to 30W loading a half life level

    tuning up power management i got it to idle at ~17W

  11. found my pcmcia/cardbus stash, some of them even work

    that BWP 712 is the good atheros shit that had the low level linux drivers that let you do all kind of wifi crimes

    used it with XP a lot too on my late-2000's Pentium III 1.3ghz busted keyboard toshiba laptop cyberdeck

    there's Win98 drivers that claim to do WPA2 which is hard to come by there, but i had no luck getting it to connect to anything

    apparently it was off by default but after toggling "USB function" in the BIOS setup we have USB!

    this laptop is a fully functional ode to the final days of DOS gaming and demoscene, and early Win9x pre-3dfx era gaming 🫡

    (except for the dead panel and dead battery back RIP)

    Well, after a day of fighting uphill both ways in the snow, we have 98SE working, with real graphics, and dialup networking!

    No sound yet, and that's been a disaster, but it's something. Next: Sound, then games.

    Thanks for the tips @nazokiyoubinbou , will check out 98Lite :bec_smile:

  26. Bad news: this machine doesn't support booting off USB.

    Bad news, supplemental: can't find my USB floppy drive. It's probably in a box somewhere.

    Good news, surprising: found a NIB 56k serial modem in a different box, and CD-Rs can still (apparently) be bought locally, so... Winning?

  38. I use this floppy as :)

    It's also fun to play around with as well. There's no shutdown command, you just press the power button on the computer when you're done using it. Cool!
