Had a Compaq Portable LTE 4/25 with mono-vga. Still have it somewhere. But some "more-recent" TI Travelmates (486-DX2-50/66) may have had it as well. I'd suspect it'd be a rare thing to ...

That blue block is a relay. Relays have two parts: A coil and a switch. You'll have to look at the data sheet to see if the 120V enters the coil side or the switch side. I bet it enters the switch ...

You're paying too much. UCL is hosted with Inmotion Hosting as part of a plan that gives 6 websites for $10/mo.

I've also switched to Porkbun for domain registrations... they're the most fair I've ...

Is the pot exposed where you can see the contacts? Maybe a contact cleaner like CRC-226 (get it at Home Depot, it's priced near $2.50 for a little can) can make it usable again?

Your "hard drive configuration error" message is probably happening during POST. A 486 is in the middle of the BIOS being able to figure everything out and having a configuration error be a ...

You might be getting a different signal from the Tandy than the TV expects. As I recall, computers from that era put out a combined video & audio signal like a VCR. You'll need a RF switch to co ...

How's it working for you? Is it usable?

I have Linux Mint on the 900 mHz PowerPC iBook, and it sometimes takes forever to respond... even running one program at a time.
