as a bonus, here's the original drawing i made with the measurements. it's made in paint.

they are done - just have to wait for the acetone to evaporate so the thing bonds properly, I had to print this in two parts because there’s no way my printer would handle this overhang

woot! it posts!

in the end it was a broken solder joint on the AT power connector, and bad cache chips

which one of you are doing a funny

it seems @UpCloud lets you change the network adapter to emulate an RTL8139, so obviously that means I had to set up a web server running on DOS. Please enjoy.

This is still up and running, by the way. I was assuming it would've crashed at some point, but no...

Good morning everyone! Still up and running. Surprising amounts of bot traffic.

@ChlorideCull using my @UpCloud to host a nt3.51 VM, like god intended

(edit for clarification: this is a concept post)

Show threadDusty Jun 7

@domi you can try, but the issue is usually that old OSes aren’t happy with the limited compatibility qemu gives, DOS kinda circumvents that because it doesn’t try much

@UpCloud 86box backed VMs when? You can be the only cloud provider allowing you to properly emulate ancient hardware lmao

@ChlorideCull @domi Imagine the cash firehose we'd have if we legitimately attracted 40yo legacy systems onto UpCloud with 86box and similar...

I'm seriously considering trying your services if you advertise this kind of compatibility

@UpCloud @ChlorideCull real talk? if you offered 86box VMs or period-appropriate hardware, I’d probably get some just for fun.

for now i already host stuff like this myself (albeit not exactly 86box), it’s fun

Show threadDusty Jun 9

@domi @UpCloud while integrating 86box would probably be too much work (unless someone makes a good wrapper that takes parameters like qemu!) it’s at least feasible

hosting era appropriate hardware in a data center feels incredibly funny, just imagining trying to guide some guy at the data center to change the jumpers on a board because one of your sticks of RAM died, or replacing an SRAM cache chip when socketed DIPs went out of fashion before they were born

@ChlorideCull @domi @UpCloud "a good wrapper that takes parameters"

what's wrong with programatically generating a config file?
Show threadint*domi;*domi=0; // @ GPN (call DOMI)Jun 9
@Rairii @ChlorideCull @UpCloud considering that most hosters have something closer to libvirt than qemu? yup, config files are just fine
Show threadUpCloudJun 9
@domi @Rairii @ChlorideCull libvirt 🙋
Show threadDusty Jun 9
@UpCloud @domi @Rairii In this case I meant more "a wrapper that can pretend enough to be qemu that you can just spin up another libvirt qemu driver instead of having to write an 86box libvirt driver"

@ChlorideCull Hello from WfW 3.11. 🥳 (Arachne kept crashing on me and I was too lazy to debug this, so this is the best I can do atm.)
