Humphreys posted:Na it's soley for a DB25 only host. I'm tearing down the original PCB and testing components (it's pretty dumb with a 7805, a diode, two caps and a DPDT relay) and tracing out the PCB for signs of failure due to corrosion. Would kinda like a new solution too as a backup/option. At that point I think I'd just roll my own, honestly.

ArcMage posted:At that point I think I'd just roll my own, honestly. Yup, thats what I'd ultimately doing. The original PCB has a few bodge-wires from prior repair attempts to repair leaky capacitors corroding traces. Giving it benefit of the doubt and have a replacement DPDT relay on order and going over the PCB. Thank GOODNESS I bought a Desoldering Iron a few weeks ago and so much better than the desoldering braid routine I've been stubborn with for 20+ years.

It's like saying someone is playing Doom with literal Altoids. it started with a 'can you play doom on a pregnancy test' and then that person went 'no you can't, after a bunch of experimenting, but here's hacking it together to show what it'd look like'

If you beat doom in one life you don't have the baby, if you lose, you have 2 babies. You must rally all of your gamer skills for this challenge.

In this case it was an overly engineered pregnancy test with a digital output. While the game isn't running on the pregnancy test hardware I think it's still arguable to say he's playing doom on a pregnancy test. To use your metaphor, it would be like if altoids time had low cost eink displays that could be hijacked Edit: unless this is some copy pasta that got me

I don't think there's anything left of the pregnancy test left in there. Unless he hacked the original microcontroller, it is using a different screen.

The original microprocessor had a masked rom, so they couldn't reprogram it. The goal seems to be to get everything into the test case. -e- It felt like a husband who tinkered with his wife's pregnancy tests. Lurking Haro has a new favorite as of 23:13 on Sep 7, 2020 |

The OLED isn't original either, so this is like putting a phone on the dashboard of an old car and saying it runs Doom now.

It's still impressive that something that required a decent spec pc and CRT monitor can now be run on something the size of your thumb.

If I could find another, I’d take it apart and put a modern IPS display in one, but I don’t want to gently caress up my only Daft Punk helmet/TV.
