Collection #silicium
Sagemcom #Spiga (2009)
un vrai PC dans la paume de ta main,
avec 3G, Wi-Fi et clavier complet,
mais seulement 512 Mo de RAM…
Une fusée dans le format d’un beignet,
mais avec le moteur d’un presse-purée.

Happy to report that we've passed another important milestone!

Thank you to everyone watching & sharing my work! Now, only 600 more subscribers to go before I giveaway an SNES

Est-ce bien raisonnable ?

Anyone at #why2025 with interest in #vintagecomputer?

Today I got my batch of #PCB's from #JLCPCB for the front panel LEDs of my #NeXTcube mini.

Turns out: I mistakenly swapped the top and bottom layer.

L'Imprimante du #Minitel

Qui coutait fort fort cher, c'est vrai.
Mais n'était-ce pas un fabuleux outil ce terminal ?

Waren Computer früher bunter?
Were computers more colorful?

Everyone and their mom has a #Wifi232 to get their #VintageComputer online, but I wounder if there's a #wired (#LAN) option instead.

• Basically being an "#Ethernet #Modem"...

Background: In my area, 2,4 GHz WiFi is so overcrowded that it's basically unuseable and also because Ethernet is more reliable.

• Ideally it can be powered via #PoE to enable #WakeOnLAN / #WakeOnDialin....

I don't mind if it looks like a MAU but with like a unmanaged 4-port Gigiabit Switch for #10Base2 / #10Base5 - lookalike "passthrough" and internal 10 MBit/s port so it can be used to directly link units or be hooked up to a switch. Similar to FriendlyNet

• Bonus points if it still supports 10MBit/s @ Cat.3/ single pair and 100BaseVG, but regular Fast Ethernet & #Gigabit Ethernet via Cat.5 and up is more important. (Maybe do like 2x #SFP ports at the sides and 1x 8p8c #RJ45 at the front ?)

So technically it's closer to a DEC DELNI than real AUI but if someone wants to implement an #AUI and even add a an AAUI adaptor cable I'm not gonna tell anyone not to.

found a listing for a sony MSX hitbit HB-101 in red, which in my opinion is one of the best looking looking computers made in the 80s.

the listing states
Condition: Used - “Good Condition”
Then I saw the photos.

I think they have a different opion from mine as to what constitutes "good condition"

Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a8&t=36s of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?

I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.
