@linuxgal MFM would like a word, and its ribbons are all twisted...
-
@benroyce @neverbeaten @linuxgal I thought it was IRQ5. 3 & 4 were for COM2/COM4 and COM1/COM3 respectively.
-
@linuxgal IDE master/slave jumpers… and ISA card jumper settings… yes, still remember that.
-
@linuxgal put that choker on me daddy
-
@linuxgal@techhub.social #ichBinSoAlt , ich kenne das auch noch.
-
@linuxgal ngl, was always afraid these would simply explode when not connected the right way 🤪
-
@linuxgal is this not a thing now?
-
-
@linuxgal Interrupts und IO-Adressen per Jumper auf ISA-Karten festlegen... good old times.
Und natürlich Master uns Slave auf den Festplatten.

@stuartl @benroyce @neverbeaten @linuxgal 5 or 7. The line "SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1" will remain etched into my brain forever.

@stuartl @benroyce @neverbeaten @linuxgal Yeah, I think you're right. Although it's so long ago it's mostly just a faint wisp of a memory.
I also remember making a cable to connect a 23 pin Amiga monitor to a 15 pin PC VGA plug. It worked too! (We had all the cable-making equipment where I worked.)

@linuxgal I've seen things you people wouldn't believe

@stuartl @neverbeaten @linuxgal
Well now you know why i was so frustrated
And thanks a lot Stuart. You're 30 years too late. You could have helped me out with this a little sooner!

@linuxgal Im 128 y.o.. I remember this.
-
@linuxgal master/slave....
30+ years ago for RAID with SCSI drives not only had you to set the IDs manually but depending on the server/controller/number of drives you had to tell the SCSI controller to spin up the drives one by one as the surge in current would overload the power supply.
-
@linuxgal I remember the consequences for getting it wrong
-
@hermannus @Karma_J @linuxgal RS-488 was a good connection for the time (just add to remember that ID 1 = tape, 4 = printer, 8 = floppy)

@linuxgal Could someone explain what/ why is he trying to short?
