rubbing alcohol can be worse than humid air get some cheap stuff from the drug store, bathe your cart in it, great you just washed the entire thing in 70% alcohol 30% water, is your breath 20% water per volume? nah its in the parts per millions. not that blowing air on the thing actually does any good unless you have some crud not stuck to the connectors (something a card connector will scrape off anyway), but if you insist, dont spit in it the electronics industry uses 99% if not 100%, and you aint going to pick that up at the grocery store ( if you want to turn your outer layers of skin to chalk get some of that on you)

slightly confused though, if you need low current and the high side is 0-5 volts, with a 5 volt switch side whats the point of an SSR, they usually switch higher voltages or currents with a logical input (ie I want to switch 2 amps of 24 volts with 5 volts at practically no current off of a serial port) if its low current and low voltage just use a pair of transistors like the quote above, or a pair of bjt's if your interested I have some "useless" SSR's I would not mind seeing being gone, 3-8 volt input, I think 60 volt DC 80ma switching current, I think cause I never use them ... they are single pole but for cost of postage I could slip some in a envelope fer ya side note I watched a guy at work cross his wiring and accidently dump 40 amps @13 volts DC though one, they make an impressive smoke generator.

yes its a well presented high quality diarrhea fountain

or duplicated it and sold it. I notice that many smaller developers of apps and utilities like to retain copyright, but give permission to use and distribute it (ie disk images), but until then one should assume that someone holds it in case of death, I dont know, I know there is a period after death that still can be claimed by the persons survivors, but do they care to even comment on a 20 something year old game?

that's why I made my analog joypad for the apple II, as I say in the hack-a-day article "ever play pac-man with a giant flight stick?" though the atari sticks are digitial, I am just more nimble with my thumb than with my fist

many of these things do better with 80 column text and high res graphics than a TV, which turns it into a giant glowing blur I wouldn't mind having one, but cost + shipping is prohibitive for me

cept it has this BIG UGLY RED thing slapped on it, I dont like that stuff, its a nice reminder that the company does not trust you to do what you will with your property no where as bad as now where your greeted with "we think you are a thief, verify online, enter key, sign up for DRM services like GFWL or steam and be on the internet every second or we are right you dirty thief" garbage, but it was sort of a glimpse into the future

I got my genesis when altered beast was the pack in, and my sonic 1 & 2 did not have the resale label

Im in

yes thats true, when you plug something in its going to take whatever current it wants to operate, if your supply is less than that amount then it will heat up and eventually burn out. On the other hand if your supply can provide more than whats needed then the device will take whatever it wants and you have some left over.

yep, floppy disk verision sealed in box epic pinball cybergirl, they have the jungle one as well

the 78xx series does not need a load to regulate, that's the whole point of a regulator, you can drop one on a breadboard and measure 4.99 +- tolerance volts with nothing hooked up to the output, the only times I have seen this happen is when AC is getting to it, or its oscilating ... meaning the caps around it are crap either would cause noise on the 5 volt line which may interfere with sensitive functions such as video, your lucky it did not fry anything as most digital IC's are not rated for more than 7, and usually are only rated for 10% over max (ie 0.5 volts) regulators typically don't up and die, something else causes them to die, fixing the symptom does not fix the problem

impedance matching and what is that, Altium, hope so, that's what I use ... thank you work. any time I use auto-route I end up spending more time making it right than it would be to just do it myself

Various 80's and 90's PC/mac games (anyone want a sealed copy of cibergirl pinball, theres like 100 of them for 4 bucks a pop) Mac Performa 430 XBOX games TI99 controllers brand new (which I gave to a forum member for price of postage) Radio shack joystick for IBM and apple II all in all, not a bunch, thrift stores around here suck

i had a Dina, it didnt last though too many play sessions before it cooked its own brains

the film does nothing against dings though

make your shiny new bueaty look like a pile of trash for as long as you own it? no peel that crap!

I actually do quite a bit of cad work on my quad core 4.2Ghz FX box, and windows 7 is quite darn snappy even without a SSD or SSD cache while being a fairly budget box its snappy on my i5 work laptop, its snappy on my 2.5 ghz athlon x2 it seems to work well as long as its past a specific date it runs like garbage on my p4 laptop, but ... its a p4 laptop

I dont have a favorite, especially with the modern ones, windows is windows, mac is mac, linux is just retarded I used to really like linux but after a decade of it, it seems to get more broken and silly with each distro's release, even installing it is a major pain in the ass to me, as a change in the kernel some time a few years ago makes it think my 1280x1024 60Hz LCD is some screwball PAL HDTVm and every single distro out there wont work out of the box. its pretty effin bad when your hacking text files to get the garbage to work before its even installed, what is this 1994? as for classic os's ... MS-DOS (maybe PC dos but I dont like some of its utilities, like e)

GEOS is also on the II with its apps

as is, its not that hard to slap together an 8080 machine and have it run basic stuff

I am interested in something that absolutely has to have the vblank after 30 years of software, including entire GUI operating systems read http://folklore.org/..._Mouse_Card.txt its very non technical but It does have a couple of tidbits, one being that the machine is too slow to read its own vblank, as it happens in one cpu cycle, and some tidbits on how they solved it. research from there Its one of the things I actually like about the computer, since its so freaking limited ... IE its video system is a cpu banging bits from ram/rom addresses to a shift register not much different than whats in a NES controller, that you actually DO have to get down and think "how can I possibly do this" then you look at other's work and what would seem like garbage crap for atari or commie, is somewhat boggling that they got even that good

there has been more than a handful of them and I still dont get the hate to the apple II community, they have been nothing but extremely helpful to me, and anyone else with a question, and since its such a simple machine every single little thing about the computer is more than well documented... you just might have to (gasp) look for it, or (oh noes) ask just google comp.sys.apple2, the Usenet is available within google groups, not hidden away on some pirate BBS in Argentina

combo deal on 1 stf mobo and 1 power supply?

hrm all computers in the late 70's attached to your TV
