03:39:06 <arch> Physically?... also no
03:39:07 <MrMobodies> Pretty much all the heatsinks I buy especially new has either foam or some cut outs inside to help protect it from being crushed from outside.
03:41:59 <MrMobodies> that set me back over 2 hours last night having to take out things and look though a bunch of machines to find one and now have waste time returning that time.

04:20:55 <MrMobodies> Didn't know about pool noddle or seen one before. On picture they look to me like gluestick.

07:27:09 <MrMobodies> Looking at this P4ELA motherboard I have never known one to have 7 serial ports on it. (3 connectors on the back 4 on headers)
07:27:22 <MrMobodies> plus a parallel port
07:28:05 <MrMobodies> shame I won't be using of them for I plan to use it for.
07:28:46 <MrMobodies> Steve30, have you ever come across any Duocore motherboards with ISA slots on them?

07:29:36 <steve30> can't remember, sorry
07:30:08 <steve30> there are modern designs with legacy connectivity aimed at the industrial market, but whether they have dual core processors i don't know
07:30:38 <MrMobodies> I got one that turned up yesterday
07:30:55 <steve30> ooh, nice
07:31:01 <MrMobodies> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/336456233419
07:31:02 <EEVBot> [url] Commell P4ELA Intel Socket 775 E7500 CPU mATX Motherboard GPIO, rare ISA SLOT | eBay UK | www.ebay.co.uk
07:31:45 <MrMobodies> aah maybe it is industrial, that's why it had 7 serial ports on it.
07:34:11 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/CMd1DJ4f/P4ELA-ISA.jpg
07:34:48 <MrMobodies> The slot lacks DMA and of course no audio plays but all I am using it for is to pass audio through the line in to line out.
07:35:37 <MrMobodies> for the effect on the sound
07:37:51 <MrMobodies> I was reading that the Winbond ISA bridges lack DMA where'as some of ITE bridges support it.
07:42:17 <MrMobodies> With all those serial ports maybe it was intended for communications and they thought they didn't need DMA if the ISA slot was intended for that. but pleased as it functions just enough to pass audio through it. Next step to test the EMU-1820m with it.
07:42:39 <MrMobodies> if it causes any grounded noises I mean

10:10:40 <MrMobodies> Very disappointed. Looks like the boad is going to have to go back.
10:11:22 <MrMobodies> As soon as I connect things up to the mixer I can effectively hear a horrid pitch and the PCI bus
10:11:44 <MrMobodies> I mean the Emu and the onboard sound
11:19:25 <MrMobodies> absolutely devasted.
11:20:33 <MrMobodies> It seems to be a thing where if one thing don't work and all that effort wasted for nothing. It seems I can't put anyting in the PCI slots as the nise from it can be audible on the ISA sound card.
11:21:10 <MrMobodies> click, click, click, click with this high pitched noise on activity
13:31:14 <flyback> MrMobodies, just use 86box
13:42:57 <MrMobodies> oooh
13:43:00 <MrMobodies> lets see
13:43:33 <MrMobodies> is that an emulator or an ISA bridge?
13:43:54 <MrMobodies> as an emulator

13:43:57 <MrMobodies> that looks NICE
13:44:43 <MrMobodies> I have an old Pentium 3 poweriing up an Aztech 2320 with an Emu and 180m dock connected to it.
13:44:53 <MrMobodies> and a Yamaha XG1000 in there
13:45:42 <MrMobodies> they all connect to a mixer which then goes into the line in of the Aztech 2320 then out to another mixer for the hardware SRS3D effect
13:46:15 Quit: Rhine_Labs ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
13:47:18 <MrMobodies> I have two laptops that connect, one to the EMU via optical and the other through the mixer. I'd like to get that Pentium 3 to do more things. Yes it can
13:47:42 <MrMobodies> play audio, but do anything else such as a search and that'd cause the audio to stutter on any sound card
13:48:13 <MrMobodies> now you can see I am looking for a motherboard a bit more powerful with an ISA bridge on it to support that card
13:48:42 <MrMobodies> I have brought one of these

13:49:24 <MrMobodies> and I have the other piece to that so I'll see how that goes tomorrow with elimiating the noise. It'd be fine when a headphone but connect that lead in and the noise will appear.
13:52:14 <MrMobodies> unfortunately if I put another one above Aztech it converts the SRS3D audio mix back to stereo which I tried a few years ago using a combination of things

16:11:06 <MrMobodies> Absolutely disgusting. So it's NOT the CCG doing it, nor so much the NHS even though they support those who can switch. It's these private companies who have taken over other surgeries.
16:13:02 <MrMobodies> They talk about "the evidence" like what happened with "Royal Mail Horizon" but ignore the very simple fact that that propellant is there for a reason and without it people can be put at risk if their breathing does not allow them to blow it in far enough especially when they can't breathe.... the stupidity!
16:13:30 <MrMobodies> the same it's the same it isn't
16:14:20 <MrMobodies> Joke: Refridgerators, freezers and aircon... let's take the gas out and just have the compressor working to save carbon emissions.
16:17:11 <MrMobodies> Nursing practice admits one in three patients suffer when forcefully switched blame seem to blame "inhaler technique" or not being taught how to ingest it properly again ignoring the simple scientific fact that's what the propellant is there for.

20:37:21 <MrMobodies> The new Firefox History seems RUBBISH.. "Today", "Yesterday", "last seven days". Only SEVEN DAYS. I've got Firefox 21 open and it shows "This month" and older than 6 months"
20:38:19 <MrMobodies> shame it's not compatible with anything anymore other other than some old switches and routers I had been using it for.
