Re: Eclipse 2024

I was lucky enough to be in the path of totality in 1999. It remains one of the coolest experiences of my life. Even though I understand how it all works, there's still something magical about those few minutes.

That wouldn't matter if the VCC is common. Not saying it is in this case, as I honestly don't remember, just sayin'...

Re: My summer project: A colour Stacy

Okay, another question. I've been watching a couple of the RGB2HDMI "how to" video's, and in them they state that the device draws power from the ST's motherboard. It looks like (and apologies if I've got this wrong), that other people are powering theirs using the onboard P/S connector o...

Re: My summer project: A colour Stacy

Oh that! IIRC I just desoldered the barrel jack from the board and added a little snap connector on a pigtail, then routed 12V up from the main body of the Stacy alongside the HDMI cable and terminated that with the matching snap connector. Really just any reasonable way to take the 12V off the pico...

Re: My summer project: A colour Stacy

Hmm, maybe I'm just looking at it wrong? Here's a picture: Yep, power is carried in the black cable between the controller board and the panel. PS In the picture from the post you linked - what is the white block attached to the Pico P/S? That's an ATX breakout plug, with only the necessary wires c...

Re: My summer project: A colour Stacy

So I do have that screen and controller board in now and I'm dying to get it setup. They didn't include a power lead for the LCD itself. Are you sure about that? The LVDS connection in my setup includes power in the same cable as video. Previously, I had powered my STacy with a Pico P/S but by send...

Re: exxos blog - random goings on

Was a old password from years ago it seems. You sure about that? It says, "and provided the correct account name and password". Allowing for slightly different Chinese text, and translation, this looks pretty much like a normal Steam Guard email. I think you should change your password.

You are. You don't need to be using the image button, which is intended for external images, only the "place inline" button on your attachments.

Please see the post "How to place photos in a post" for details.

Re: LOLPRICE

I did see if the CD would boot on my Powerbook G4, but nope. I suspect it may be down to the version, IIRC it was necessary to boot from floppy with the version I have. I could be mistaken, but I don't think PPC BeOS boots on anything other than Be's own hardware. The x86 version will boot on a wid...
