Interesting. Will it just say DS#### on the chip on the board? I’ll look for it, that sounds great. Some parts of this board are hard to reach though.

I can’t find the coin cell cmos battery on the board…

We’ll see how far I get. I mean if I can just do copy file \\.\COM# on the DOS side and cat /dev/tty# > file on my laptop side then I’ll be happy.

Thanks for that. Looked online a bit, I’m going to order an rs232 to usb null modem cable. Then it looks like in DOS I should be able to set the baud and just copy a file to the port. On the receiving side I can program something to just read from the com port straight to a file. Add some automation and voila. 🤞

Right now the challenge is to get data off of my 5.25" floppy disks. Online shops are full of 3.5" to usb readers, but nothing for 5.25".

The reader in the computer still works.

I’m considering trying to send files out through the serial port, if I can figure out how to send a file to it. Then I could use anything to read from the other end of the serial port and write the file.

I want to see what (if anything) i can copy from the drive, and then I’ll give this a shot and see how much mileage I can get out of it!

I can try it out once i learn how to use this thing. I’m gonna have to get a usb floppy reader/writer to copy stuff from a modern computer.

Interesting, I do have some floppy disks that claim to be ms-dos. I also have some windows 95 and 98 cds. The hard drive isn’t making any click of death sounds as far as I can tell, but I haven’t exercised it. I just know the stuff currently on it is corrupted since I get read errors trying to exec anything. I wrote a text file, was able to read it back, so reinstalling might work, but i think a whole new drive would be best.

I saw that the bios lets me change the cpu speed to fast/slow, does that have anything to do with the turbo you think?

Just saw your edit! I’ll look into that!

Yea this thing needs a new drive. Trying to run any programs on it gives me read errors. I need to figure out what linux it could run. I’m comfortable with linux, but not with this kind of hardware.

I don’t know. I haven’t found any info on its original specs.

Ah, I think I did read that somewhere. This one is still kicking though. I dug it out of my brother’s attic last year and finally got around to powering it on.

Is it bad? 😂 I don’t know anything about these old machines, but it works and I’ll see how much I can do with it.

Confirmed

This is the way

I think you have something else… i also have astigmatism, but circles don’t look like eggs, with or without glasses.

This applies to all these diets, not just calorie counting. “Don’t eat carbs”, “don’t eat fats”, “don’t eat processed foods” are all different ways of saying “You just have to raise your elevation.”

They all imply there’s just one singular thing you have to do, but they’re not sustainable.

Your conclusion is great, it’s all about designing a sustainable diet for yourself that works.

For those interested, science vs is a great podcast where they review the latest research studies and interview scientists publishing papers about various topics, with all their sources cited.

They have a few weight loss/diet episodes, and while everyone here is correct about how different food has different impacts on the body, it seems like science always concludes that losing weight comes from eating less food no matter the diet.

So while this post may be oversimplified, if your goal is just to lose weight, it’s not wrong. Maybe not healthy, but not wrong.

The podcast is targeted at the layman, so it’s not just boring academics talking about things, check it out.

I like flutter’s design where you do your markup and styling as code, and then it gets rendered via opengl. So you get that native performance without having to deal with the whole browser stack.

I don’t like how almost all software these days is just web apps masquerading as native apps, but they’re just so damn easy to write compared to anything else.
