Hello all.
Last night around Midnight, Khalee's Powersupply went up in smoke. Thank goodness The popping sound woke me up. Anyway, does anyone have an extra 350+ watt 20 pin Powersupply he could Borrow, untill he Finds work and Can get his own? He is welcome to use my system of course, But at times It is Inconvienient.
I have searched and searched through my 10+ bins of pc parts, and can't find one to save my life. ( I may have given my spares to my Son Nathan actually)
Thanks all for your consideration.

Stephen, give me a minute or two to go through my stuff. I may be of some help.
-
I just checked and both are only 300W. Sorry. Hopefully
someone else has an extra one laying around.
-
Actually , I found a Power supply from an Old PC. I'm hopping It still works, as I didn't cateloque It. This whole thing may be Un nessaserry. I'm just waiting for Tim to get back home.
BTW Dallas, thanks for Checking. Your a Great Person.

well Darn. The powersupply only worked for about 15 minutes. That Damn Khalee is just so HArd on PC's.

Hook up some pedals and a pulley system. He can cycle his compy with that in the meantime AND get some exercise! ;D
-
I'll ask my ECE department if they have anything. They throw away some good stuff on occasion. It's worth a shot.

Stephan..I have a Enermax EG365P-VE 350 W PS that I pulled when I went to 8 hardrives and 2 DVD burners (yeah, I'm greedy..have to keep the zip drive too 'cause one of the 'puter's at work has a 3.5 and a zip..no CD)
I can pack it and get it going if you want...
I think I still have your address..but PM it to me again

I checked too, however the spare power supply I have is only 100W!!
Perhaps if I sent you mine and Dallas could send his you could get Khalee's machine a really big and flexible 400W supply :lol:
Besides, 100 should be enough to run the processor at half speed or so. What's he need to go faster than 66MHz for anyway? ;D
-
Jeez...100 W..why, that wouldn't even run my toaster oven :D
It's amazing what we used to run our systems...16 MHz 386, 1 Meg of RAM, 9600 K dial up modem, and a BBS with 10 lines into it...
Forward...into the Past

486dx4 100mhz, 4x 4CD changer NEC, 2gb HD 28,800 modem, 1 line BBS. Wildcat 5, Win95. (I can't recall how much RAM)

I can beat all of that!
My first computer was a Archimedes A3000:
ARM 2 @ 8Mhz
1Mb RAM
OS (512Kb) loaded from ROM
No HDD. Only a floppy drive.
Heres a link to it (picture is poor but you get the idea):
http://www.vintagecomputer.co.uk/vcShop/Scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=643
Given that it was not ibm compatible it meant i only got software off the montly RISC magaziine... and all those wonderful pc games I was waiting to play were not playable - well I just smiled at me Da and said it was great. I could now use it for my school work (which I did).
ahhhh the memories!

That wasn't my first computer it was the computer I ran a BBS on.

Pakage recieved Capt. Mike. Thanks again to all who Checked on this for him. When he get's home, I'm sure he'll be putting the Powersupply to good use.

Well Im back up and running again (Thanks CptMike) But Apperently My big hard drive went poof along with the old power supply.
But Ill fiddel with it some more before I panic. If it has gone bad anyway of retreveing the data from it.
-
it all depends on how bad it is i had a power supply got bad and took the hard drive with it after that anytime i tried to hook up the hard drive it would short out the entire system so it wouldnt even turn on total loss of all data on that drive i had a second drive go bad but it would run for about an hour before crashing so i was able to get the stuff i needed off of it after 2 or 3 boots. there is a chance altho slight if it is dead that IF you can the same drive you can swap the pc boards to get it working again but there is a high risk of frying the donor pc board and both will never work again
