    Sandisk 30mb/s CF card compatibility

    Ok, I opened one to try it out in the pcmcia slot and as I figured it worked.. So I then tried it out as a HD: This is all from memory now: HDtoolbox would not read the info on my card. It gave me an error to do with not being the correct device (device 7 or something). After much googling I...

    Sandisk 30mb/s CF card compatibility

    Hi, I bought two new 4gb Sandisk Ultra II 15mb CF cards from Amazon (can I write Amazon?). They arrived today, but they have sent me two 4gb Sandisk Ultra 30mb/s cards :mad: I sent them an email saying I aint a happy bunny and to arrange to get the actual cards I ordered. Question is: Do the...

    Electronic repair question C64

    Don't blow that 6581R4AR! I've been trying to find a good R4AR for years. Just can't find them anywhere. I gave up buying C64's on the off chance that I'd find an R4AR and buying c128's is just too expensive. The one I have is from a guy off ebay, but the filter is slightly distorted. So, keep...

    Is This Normal?

    Whilst we're on the subject of the C128.... hope this isn't a hijack >.< but anyone know what's going on inside my C128? This was how it was when I bought it:

    Hey all.. Nope it still doesn't work. I fitted a whole new PSU board but my 1084S has exactly the same faults :( So, if that offer still stands I'd love to come pick up that monitor please Tajmaster :) Name a day/ time and I'll drive up, thanks. p.s. I just received my first ever...

    iPhone 4 fixed with duct tape

    I used to want Apple products for one reason -> aesthetics. (I've never actually owned any). But this year I've started to really dislike Apple. They are anti-open-source and anti-freedom. The only contact with ITunes that I have had is to install it for my cousin that NEEDS to install ITunes in...

    I've got a working, tested PSU board (the same horizontal board you're talking about I believe) on it's way to me from hikey atm. I'm gonna replace that and cross my fingerz, legs and all that jazz and hope that that sorts the problem thanks m8. ---------- Post added at 05:32 ----------...

    Hey thanks Tajmaster. You are most kind. I have a working PSU board on it's way to me which I'm going to replace with the existing one in my 1084S. I hope that works, but if not I would drive up to Bradford like a shot (if it's still available ofc). Thank you.

    Just thought I'd add about the whining: Switch the power on and there is a high-pitched whine. When you switch the power button to off the high-pitched whine takes 11 seconds to wind down (high to low pitch) to silence. It sounds just like a high-pitched air-raid siren winding down.
