Interesting... are they owned by Maxsun now? I see that was the case of Soyo.

Go to your Account Details and look below Date of Birth for the Location box. Everyone should have that box.

BTW, use an eraser to gently clean the contact edge of your RAM and canned air to blow dust out of the RAM slots. Also Clear CMOS when switching RAM sticks to clear out the info from the previous kit.

Thanks once again.,and i agree with you everyone should I don,t think the guy from Hungary would want to ship to the US ,it would cost him an arm and leg.I tried the Sd to IDE Adapter ,no luck at all trying to boot WHATIDE on the Athlon 2400 i got a year ago on eBAY I put a message on Phil s latest video about how i can get WHATIDE
to boot on a Retro board.He made a comment on the Whatide video i showed on here he was the first one to do so 7 years ago.And asked if he can make a c video of it.I don,t soppose he will get back to me.1609 shows the two fills on the CD I clicked the one on the left it went ro a cmd box and went straight off

 

[68Olds]

Click the Start button, click Run
type cmd
A command box will open.
Type d: in the command box.
Type whatide and it should return the info for your C: drive.
There is a way to output to a text file. The instructions are in the whatide readme file.

@Fücsök , you probably want to read the Buy Sell Trade section rules, then post FS threads in that section. You might get a pretty nice response from members in the EU posting in the correct section.

I have read the info and typed D WHATIDE and other stuff from the info with the same results Not reconrenised as internal or external commend operable prohtam ot batch fileI have done that. d; whatide.
result.
No fixed disks installed?

Not always, I can ship with FEDex smaller packages relatively cheaply.

Oh fair enough i did not know that.

You need to type d: (not just D) then hit enter. That will change the prompt path from C:\Documents and Settings\Tim> to D:\>
Then you can type whatide & hit enter again.
Sorry, DOS commands can be a pita.

Are you sure about the seriuos interest here?

I look through the For Sale section and see things getting bought. I don't buy as many used parts as I used to because I'm no longer benchmarking, and I am retired (fixed income).
You could start by selling a single item and see how it goes for you. I know a lot of time can go into taking pictures and getting items prepped for shipping if you have a lot to sell.

As @68Olds stated, you should take this to the Buy, Sell, Trade forums.

It is against the TPU rules to try and sell outside of that forum.

 

[Solaris17]

BST forum is for sale related things. It is not allowed outside of that section. Thanks.

I got this message from are our old mate Phil

PhilsComputerLab Does the bios detect the SD card? Make sure it's blank, not partitioned. Then boot 98 OEM cd it will partition. Reboot again and then it will format.

At least i got Windows 2000 on a CF card on my other board.I see what people were saying about non industral cards showing up as removeable.I got a couple of new Transend industral ones for a very good price,

So your system with the message "No Fixed Disks Installed!" is running on a CF card? I guess the old WhatIDE program only reads data from a spinning disk with heads & sectors.
Hopefully Phil's advice will help you out. I guess he is using a bootable Win98 disk, where my Win98 is not a boot disk.

No that is the SD to ide. Like people are saying CF card is the way to go but i must get the SD one to work,Why do you think it came up. with No fixed Disks installed?No you could not have watched his video he was using SD cards.

Wait, is ABit back?!?

 

[68Olds]

Sort of, it seems. Let's hope they aren't back the same way as Polaroid or Sharp.

 

[3x0]

To my knowledge none of the people that made abit great are working for them now.

 

[Greenslade]

Sort of, it seems. Let's hope they aren't back the same way as Polaroid or Sharp.

Also, Ray Dolby passed away in late 2013, and in 2014 Dolby Labs stopped licensing his analog noise reduction systems. That was maybe not a coincidence.

All though as far as i am concerned it dulled the sound ,I would rather hear the hiss of the tape.

Those Polaroid instant cameras are back in.There hip now, Retro Even Lex,s. fav playback media Cassettes are back.

Dolby is no longer available on new decks the patents are expired

I don't think so, plus teenagers barely have any brand recognition. As far as I know Asrock employs still to this day the most numerous ex abit engineers.

Cool you a lot of good stuff there. Why have you not posted on here for so long.I just asked a seller on eBay about screws and nuts.I am after getting some for my SD to I DE Adapter so i can put it on the front on my PC case.What size. is the screw i need ,do you call it M1 or what?iI doubt if the seller knows as they are selling all kinds of stuff. Sadly there are no stores like Maplin anymore.And those little Electronic stores we used to have.There are not many nuts in there ,as long as there are ones that fit the screws i need.I got a message back from the seler,as i thought they did not know.
