    Retro Computing Repairs

    Not sure on the best forums to post in. This seems like the best fit. I have an Apple //c+ with a floppy drive that needs some work, I also have an external drive that works but I cant get the housing closed. Anyone know a good repair shop? Preferably in the Reno area, I am willing to ship...

    The legendary Zilog Z80 CPU is being discontinued after nearly 50 years

    Any prebuilt retro z80 systems out there with some form of bootable storage? CPM even.

    AMD card/driver and 3d tv/monitor Crash

    On another note, on the iGPU Win 11 recognizes the monitor can do HDR. It doesnt on the 7900xtx -- perhaps because the other two monitors have 'real' HDR and this one fakes it with dithering?

    AMD card/driver and 3d tv/monitor Crash

    Moved the 3d monitor to the iGPU and tried again after setting it to 1920*1080, still crashed the driver. I suppose I could disable pcie gpu in bios and try again.

    AMD card/driver and 3d tv/monitor Crash

    That is a good question. I may test this weekend, after making a new restore point. -edit- typo

    AMD card/driver and 3d tv/monitor Crash

    I've found that with current Driver and Windows (11) simply turning on 3d from the Display Control Panel is enough to crash the driver so bad it cant just be reinstalled even after using the AMD driver Cleaner and had to system restore to get it working again. Was wondering if anyone found a...

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    Microsoft finally putting Publisher out of its misery.

    Looks like I am the only one who actually uses it once in a while. I like it better than word, google suite, and other available tools for doing a flyer, poster, or notice type thing for work. I am sad :( Anyone know a similar type program I can start migrating to? -edit- as in the style of...

    Linux Suggestion

    I have Win 11 Pro with its built in VM. I periodically go on a learn Linux thing. What kind of linux do people suggest, good gui, availability of apps and of course the ability to run well on my system inside a VM? Maybe this time I will learn more than installing gpu drivers sucks. :)

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    Here is an example, were I to google I would find various sites and articles maybe even an official MS KB on the topic and need to read though and parse the information, or I can ask copilot: It isnt 100% accurate, neither are my friends and coworkers, and it is learning/growing. The few...

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    I use copilot. It has been very helpful for generating images I use for D&D and for Work Projects. It also has the ability to look things up and find relevant information that I find useful.
