    Old CLI Videoconferencing systems

    I have two of these old CLI Eclipse 8100 systems that have really nice servo controlled cameras (which use RS-232 for control) and a big IR remote, and they both run great, but... They use ISDN to connect to each other, and they are far too old to support ethernet or even standard 56k dial-up.

    Does anyone else on here have any experience with these? Apparently they are old government used systems that costed around $16K new.

    They are 486SX/25 based, but have 6 or 7 custom full-length ISA boards for doing all the video work. I popped in a VGA card so I could see the bios, and it is using a custom bios that says "for testing purposes only" on the screen.

    They appear to based on an embedded version of Windows 3.1. I really, really want to do something with these! The cameras are better than anything I've seen of this vintage. Power zoom and great focus, even up close.

    What I would really like to do, is see if I can get the software to work on windows 95 or 98, so I can use ethernet cards for the connection. I would have to hack up the software a bit though to extract the drivers and other parts I need.

    If anyone thinks they can help me figure these out, I'd be glad to hear. I can also post pics of the system if needed. I really hate to just toss these, but I can't find any info on them, other than the basic setup manual I have. Even if I could figure out how to use the cameras for something else, I'd be happy.

    OLD Socket 478 custom bracket + NEW generic cooler
    by BleedCap
    I already posted this on vogons.
    Its a 3d printed custom bracket for socket 478.
    I used this AM4 bracket as a base design.
    Its to be use with cheap generic clip based cpu cooler.

    Reason for doing this is:
    - Its hard to get/find a good copper base cooler. Even if you find one, the price is ....
    - New generic cooler is cheaper and can use bigger fan (less noise)

    I tested the bracket with cheap chinese horizontal cooler + fan taken from CM hyper 212 evo.
    The processor that I was using is P4 2.4Ghz prescott....

    RT8015B RT8015BGQW RT8015BGSP Datasheet
    by Document Archive
    The RT8015B RT8015BGQW RT8015BGSP are high efficiency synchronous, step down DC/DC converter. Its input voltage range is from 2.6V to 5.5V and provides an adjustable regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 5V while delivering up to 3A of output current.

    The internal synchronous low on resistance power switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode. The switching frequency is set by an external resistor. The 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation extending battery life in portable systems. Current mode operation with external compensation allows...
