@kozmicretro.bsky.socialGot my work cut out for me...
This is after initial cleanup and battery removal. So far at least 7 bad traces. Came from a tower, so the battery mostly leaked down into the chassis. and yes, that 74F151 fell off. Pads still intact though! I have replacements.
@kozmicretro.bsky.socialAhh yes, Schrodinger's PC! Has the battery vomited or not?
It's not even far from me. I'd put in an offer if I knew what was in store for me when I opened it. Even just a few damaged traces would be ok-ish.

@martinguay.cryovex.comWindows XP just got a Pascal-era plot twist. An unofficial mod adds GTX 10-series support, but testing is limited—this one’s for retro PC tinkerers, not your daily driver.

@tormbo.bsky.socialSomeone asked if Half-Life runs on a 486.
I guess this is next
Same machine, three CPUs:
• 486DX4-100
• Am5x86-133
• POD 83
• Voodoo2
How far can we get?
PLEASE: no spoilers. I deliberately haven't looked up the results. 😄
