HP van Braam<p>Protip! If you have a DVD rom drive that will read pressed DVDs but not burnt ones, you can adjust some pot meters and then it won't read pressed DVDs anymore either!</p><p>Follow me for more pro tips</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>

Alexander Bochmann<p>Just because I’ve had it in my hands while cleaning up: A BioNet 100 ACSI node for the Atari ST/TT. BioNet was a TCP/IP-based LAN solition with file sharing, printing (and I think some simple messaging). They had a dedicated file server software, though that a MS-DOS application.</p><p>Back when I was working in an Atari shop in the 1990s, our inventory and cash register system ran on this network. I think a Biodata training was my first deeper contact with TCP/IP networks?</p><p>These used to be kind-of-supported in Linux/m68k and NetBSD/atari, though extremely slow thanks to ACSI polling. No idea if I still have a power supply.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.infra.de/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.infra.de/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
penguin42<p>I'm going to recap the LCD DC-DC in my Epson HX-20; It's pretty dim, especially when the battery voltage is what it should be; looking at the vLCD with a scope, it's getting nowhere near a smoothish 7v like the TmH says it should be. And at least one of the 10uF caps (c6) on it looks grungy at the bottom.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
