Okay, this one's episode 8.

This video didn't turn out to be what I hoped; spoilers, but I never do get the thing running, it's just too trashed I think. I'm tempted to pull that VIA and try it in another board, but only if I happen to wind up with a spare 370 board I'm not afraid of damaging, which... well, at this point in time, doesn't seem too likely. Everything is getting rare these days. Maybe I'll pick up some horrible Biostar just for the purpose.

Maybe I misheard, but it was from 2006 which is 18 years ago, not 12? Im pretty sure in 2012 they were pervasive but yeah I think in 2006 they were not yet.... I really remember the "wtf LCD TV's are cheap enough to be menus?!" Cognitive dissonance though

Jaymz Julian

(context: referring 4:14 or so)

cathoderaydude

i left that in because i'm incredibly bad at math and i thought it was funny that i'm so bad at it

Jaymz Julian

Also: I thought I remembered pentiums being zif generally, and Wikipedia suggests that socket 5 and socket 7 are defined to be zif (but the 486 equivalents are not - except the later ones specifically designed for a Pentium overdrive)

Jaymz Julian

Relatable - I only caught it because earlier today i thought our 12 year old was born in 2006...

cathoderaydude

Ah, and so is socket 1/2! See, this is why I hedged in the video

A few notes that came to mind while watching: - Maybe it wasn't *on* fire, but *in* a fire? Would maybe explain the carbon deposits, and the liquid residue (from whatever/whoever put the fire out). Clearly couldn't have been in too much peril though, given it's not... melty - The CPU is going to be a VIA C3 (previously called Cyrix III, despite not being a Cyrix core. Story in itself...). From what's left of the markings, probably a 1GHz "Nehemiah" core. It's very much a low power and low performance core, and by this point VIA had embraced the embedded market (because they were too cheap to compete with Intel and AMD). Would have been the cheapest S370 CPU the vendor could get their hands on at the time, like you theorized. - The iGPU in the 815E chipset has hardware decode for MPEG-2, so the CPU would have been no concern for that

From what I can read, I assume availability was also a factor - Intel discontinued their Socket 370 chips in 2004, and VIA held on until 2006

Two videos in one day. Two of them

I think ICP had to specify FCPGA because Intel had three different versions of Socket 370 - each with different compatibility. The original Socket 370 was PPGA, and was only used for the overclocking-friendly Mendocino Celeron, while the Pentiums that needed more L2 cache still used Slot 1. They brought out the FCPGA models when the Pentium 3 moved over to 370. They changed the pinout again for the Tualatin P3 (FCPGA2).

Ahh, okay, that's the distinction - I think the "FC" basically means "the core is on top instead of on bottom"

So... I have several 44pin IDE cables with 3 connectors. Salvage from a storage company I used to work for many moons ago. Can I send you one?

cathoderaydude

Oh man, I wouldn't say no! Send me a DM on here or shoot me an email

For electric screwdrivers I love the dremel HSES-01, Its actually is quite interesting in its own right, the entire motor and gearbox mechanism is separate from the plastic overmolded shell, and when you push the screwdriver into the screw, it collides with the case and actuates a button, starting it turning in whatever direction you selected, although this feature is mysteriously underrepresented for how useful it is in advertising. It also has a clutch so you can dial down the torque if you are worried about stripping screws.

cathoderaydude

oh, this looks really intriguing, and the price is right! Thanks!

Frédérique Merizen

Minor nitpick (at the 30 minute mark) : that's assembly language, so you would technically assemble it, not compile it.

Fabio

The chip on the daughterboard slot gives me the I2C device vibes, maybe an extra temperature sensor or eeprom?

EyeMWing

Oh, good. I spy a PCEngines APU, that means I don't have to send you one of mine.

EyeMWing

Best little network guys. Shame the company died of the covid chip shortage - AMD cancelled several production runs of the CPUs and Intel spontaneously discontinued the NICs they used ahead of lifecycle, and neither would give them any design support to spin up boards using alternative parts.

Funkmon

I ain't got no little guys but I have postcards. If you like letters, I can send you some. I expect you mostly like the little guys and the letter is a bonus but I can add you to my regular postcard list.

You can currently get a large coffee in a typical Tim Hortons in Ontario for around $2 CAD, or $1.50 USD, and while I don't think they have crullers anymore, it would've been priced like one of their fancier donuts, which even now would only be just a little over $2 CAD. I should note too that Tim Hortons was one of the first fast food places here in Canada to replace their point-of-sale menus with digital screens a VERY long time back, roughly mid-2000s, so that kinda falls into place with what you came into possession of here! :B

Around 7:26 in this video you said "PA Amplifier" and I realized I don't know what PA acronym actually stands for. Lo and behold, turns out it's "Power Amplifier", so looks like "PA Amplifier" is like an "ATM Machine". I did not know about this fact until today too, so I am not surprised you made this mistake. Hope it's helpful for the future videos. Thanks for all the videos!

cathoderaydude

I imagine someone might use that term in the context of audio engineering, but in this context it means "Public Address" and refers to the amp used to drive overhead speakers in businesses, among other things.

rozboris

ooof, now I feel dumb. I googled "PA amplifier meaning" and the first (ugh, AI-butchered) result said that it was "Power Amplifier". Scrolling further I now see "Public Address" as a meaning too. My bad, thanks for explaining this to me. TIL! Twice. Love your videos. Hope to meet you randomly here in Seattle one day. Cheers.
