I’m taking a break from social media for a while to focus on offline things - reading books, getting outside, getting back into meditation and refocusing.

@nizmow indeed! 😍
@vito thanks Vito! πŸ™
@somatalos if you're recapping something nice:
Rubycon
Nichicon
It boots into my BeOS 5 prepped CF card and seems to work well.
It's got some cool things onboard:
Video: S3 ProSavage
LAN: RTL8100BL, with MS-DOS drivers
Audio: Avance ALC201A, again with dos drivers.
Lots to test out!
Well that was time well spent, but it'll need a bit of testing. So far so good! πŸ‘
Hold on to your butts, let's give it a test! 😬
Ok, I'm done.
Caveat: I do not know if the board even works (outside the capacitor issues), but as it's a Tualatin board I want to at least try to bring it back to life. 🀞
This capacitor is supposed to be 1500uF, not only is now showing as 482.8uF, look at the Vloss 😬
It's been very hot here and the board is now bone dry, so I decided to start the recapping job. I don't have a desoldering station, so I did it the old fashioned way.
