I’m watching in 2025 👍🏻 good vid and a sub

I own a Zune btw. Still use it. 😉

Teesside? East Durham?

15:59 wow, expertsexchange, it was a time since I last heard of that site. I used to joke it was expert-sex-change instead of experts-exchange (back when you could actually make such dummy jokes without people screaming).

Since when did dos have a windows like boot screen?

Well the VGA to hdmi converter does need power as well

10/10 with the music. Would have been 7/10 without.

Try Windows CE?

What laptop is that where you can use the display like that?

Glad there's someone out there dispelling the myth that you need a 3D printer to have something 3D printed.

That one little computer you allude to can also natively run RiscOS, which might be worth a look at even if you aren't going to put it in your Phoebe case

The SB0220 is one of those OEM versions of the Sound Blaster Live. That model and the SB0200 are the only two card versions that you can’t use modified Audigy drivers for SB Live cards. The CT4xx version cards as well as the SB0060 and SB0100 cards can.

Not sure how useful it would be, I've not played too much with Mpxplay, but Pimoroni, Adafruit, and the like, sell an iPod-like click wheel control. I don't think I can link here, but Pimoroni calls it "ANO Directional Navigation and Scroll Wheel Rotary Encoder" if you fancy trying to make your own breakout board with it.

You probably had the zip parallel cable too in those first couple of boxes.

“Kind of into small things at the moment…don’t get any ideas” 😂

That dell dock goes to a specific series of Dell laptops. I actually bought one of those as well as the floppy and DVD drive you have there. It’s proprietarily niche but useful if you have one of the compatible laptops. 👍

Still gonna be better than an ipod and i love the idea of SBC DOS machines and possibly windows 98 and XP. Something like a raspberry pi that runs all the games from DOS up XP dx8.1 games would be absolutely insane, since my old computers are pretty much done for with capacitors needing replacing

Perhaps something like an old phone or PDA keyboard

legendary

Oh man is this scuffed. With a bit of 3D printing and some thinning out this would be much thinner. Time for a part 2?

Next time you want to burn a VHD onto an SD card, just launch the command below to convert the image properly: "VBoxManage convertdd [src_file_vhd] [dest_file_img] --format RAW" (VBoxManage is in the VirtualBox software folder)

Neat that you even attempted it, and expended a great deal of effort. I do wonder if using FreeDOS would've provided less friction though. Would it be too much of a cheat to use some kind of SBC, possibly an RPi, and just run DOSBox on it?

Merry Christmas. An interesting video, and looking forward to your 2025!

Druaga cited. I miss that lad.

what happen last year for those who don't know ?

It would be tremendously helpful if you added links to kicad for the pcb and source for the vortex in the description

NIce project. I really enjoyed watching you work though and solve many of the issues. From a guy who used to teach Dos 5.0 back in the day it got me to thinking, this may be a project I take up in the new year (2025) as a challenge myself. Just subscribed as well, looking forward to your future videos.

You mean to tell me you got a TinyLlama, and you didn't put DOSamp 0.8 on it? Yes, Nullsoft, the makers of WinAmp, also made a DOS MP3 player. This really does not whip the llama's ass ☹️

You do know that Virtualbox can use real harddisks instead of images, right? It can do so even on Windows. You also do know how to change the drive in fdisk, right? Glad you got it almost worked out regardless. :) Awesome sweater. Merry Christmas.

Im glad to see I'm not the only one tilting ar windwills. Ive been on a multi-year quest to build my own mp3 player. I'm using a raspberry pi zero 2 though. Ive been struggling with input. I decided on a rotary encoder (ala iPod) from Adafruit. I'd love to see your dos mp3 player come to life.

Ya know I thought I saw some of these in a sixth form college, and it ran butter smooth when dragging a window around. But now you've said it didn't really survive I'm wondering what the hell I saw.

Love this project. So many memories from my first job as a tech at a small computer shop. I spent hours optimizing driver loading order on dos 6.22 to maximize the UMB usage and free up the lower memory to get games to run. Alas, I haven't done anything with that knowledge in so long. This little device has so much more processor, ram and storage than most of my systems up into the mid to late 90's! P.S. I also do initial design work in Illustrator. I export them as SVG into FreeCAD (some fiddle farting around required), correct the scale and then extrude and finish as desired for my 3d printer.

Zune owner checking in. I still have my original first-gen Zune, and I'm slowly trying to overhaul it. I genuinely miss having a "dumb" MP3 player with physical buttons for distance running.

Dell Figital Jukebox was the best handheld MP3

This would be 10/10 without the music. 7/10 as is.

Or if you were really unlucky you got an ipod or a zune*

What?! MS-DOS 7.1?! The latest version of MS-DOS I ever knew about was 6.22. How the heck did This come out and I just didn’t know?!

Hooray, another PIPER.EXE vid! Never give up, always a joy to see what you're up to. Your video productions are stellar!

Chronically underrated channel.

Nice i love these retro embeded projecets

nice to see you back

Gotta love the 475/605 machines. Best pizza box Macs ever. My Performa 475 came from a university in Amsterdam. Bought it on eBay while back and had it shipped here to the States. Still works great, 36mb RAM, and a VRAM upgrade. Also have a ZuluSCSI installed. Great 68k machines!

Laminated tonewood. Plywood. Love my pelican pink Marlin. Like the humbucker, not the single coil pups.

What's happening to the screen is only skin deep, just the front layer of the LCD - the front polariser - is breaking down. Those lines are at 45 degrees because that's the angle of linear polarisation that the front polariser uses. The screens in the 2300c are just as rare as the PB 2300c itself. I have the Toshiba Portege 610CT which uses basically the same panel and they are now really hard to find! The one I sourced from china maybe 3 years ago has already developed vinegar syndrome / polariser breakdown too so I've got to replace the polariser on mine soon as well. It's do-able, just takes some patience to get the original polariser off and clean all the glue away. I found sticky stuff remover does a good job on the glue. The polariser film on a TFT is quite widely available and you can get adhesive and non-adhesive sheets. I just got some non-adhesive gloss linear polariser sheets and they look pretty good on a similar display I just replaced the polariser on.

Where is part 2?

Bought a broken Casio midi guitar . I knew it wasn't working but I was going to refit it with a Roland midi pickup. The Casio midi electrics seem ok just the owner has taken of the midi out plug. The 9volt switch and there are just bare wires hanging about. Is it worth repairing please

really curious to know what you've done with this guitar. I want to take that cheap body and make a proper 80's shredder out of one. Only one I can find is on reverb sold in italy and it would cost me 600 bucks US which I'm NOT paying for one of these lol.

My power supply popped too. New RIFA sorted it out. Love the detailed video, great watch. Have to get my hands on one of the 2300s.

Are the pickups ceramic or alnico?

I bought this exact setup brand new when it came out. It was awesome.
