AIW....all in wonder.....more flashbacks.
That ATI card on that one VP6 was from my "there is no video card other than ATI" days. Now I won't touch ATI. EVGA nVidias are all I have now.

Re: PS3 Controller
yeah...the sticks were like $5 or something. Cleaning didn't help mine. There was an interesting note about the sticks. You're not supposed to let them go to their physical limits. there was a 40 degree limit or something. Damn...now i'll have to find that pdf again.
the main reason i did it was to dust off the skills. and its fun. i posted because it seemed like few posts i saw didn't have good info or they went to sites selling "refurbished" joysticks.Leave a comment:

PS3 Controller
For grins-n-giggles....I had on older PS3 controller....sixaxis (no dual shock)
The analog joystick thumb controls were sticky and wouldn't return to center.
Since I hadn't done any soldering in a while, I did some research and Mouser had the joystick assemblies.
So....popped them off and put the new ones in. Works like a champ.
I read something about a 4 pin varistor, but I needed the 3 pin. Here is the PN: RKJXV1224005
I love fixing old stuff.

Re: m$ win10 - again!
this machine....my new daily driver.....Win10. not really caring much for it
2 older dual core boxes (one amd and one intel) running XP....and will probably stay that way. might get them folding again.....
the old daily driver......had XP......will most likely get the ubuntu....
my other quad core........has win7 home on it. not sure what i'll do with it.
but you can bet your ascot it won't be windows.
and my decision isn't based on bullshit posted on the 'net.

Re: Recommend good external IDE & SATA to USB3 converter? (To replace Conrad 976534)
Funny....I've been going through old hard drives lately.
For SATA, I use a Termaltake BlackX Duet. Does what it says.
For IDE, A buddy let me use his adapter. Looked like a china generic thing. But it worked fine.
Looks like this [url]http://www.myphpnet.com/the-usb-ide-adaptor[/url]
I did run across a couple dual HD docks that had SATA and IDE, but I didn't get that far.Re: Recommend good external IDE & SA...r? (To replace
