    WANTED: Intel Architecture Labs 1990’s CD-ROM’s. They appear to have maybe been monthly. They contained a mirror of Intel’s ‘download.intel.com’ ftp server, specifically the /ial/ subdirectory which is not in the 2014 backup of the site on archive.org.

    Lots and lots of white papers and design guideline documents in there. Especially looking for ones from the late 1990’s (1998-ish onward) if they exist. I’ve seen references in mailing lists to them that lead me to believe they do.
    Example gem: intel trying to cover its ass after the FDIV bug, and have some more FDIV

    > i disagree here, apple's laptops have like one or two ports, and dongles are big, unwieldy, and you basically need to settle at a desk and set them up every time

    I disagree with your disagreement because USB-C-to-<x> adapters are still USB-C-to-<x> adapters whether they are flush with the case or not. Also there's quite often enough room on the face of these ""cards"" (flush mounted dongles) that more I/O could have been provided than actually was.
    The headphone adapter for instance could easily have also fit a pass-through USB connector/hubbed connector as well, or much more simply just a line input TRS connector

    The point about not having as many ports may be true but that's not why people call the mac a donglebook, they call it a donglebook because all I/O is just USB C ports.

    apart from that the panasonic let's notes seem nice, the toughbooks are probably easier to come by though

    instead of saying "register based" and "stack based" architectures we should say register based and stack cringed architectures

    thinkpad X201 (non-tablet, non-201s) BIOS flasher that will remove the mini PCIe card allow-list lockout, which can be written to a USB flash drive (based on FreeDOS) - thus not requiring an optical drive.
    https://archive.org/details/x201_bios_mod_flash_usb.img.7z
    Probably works with the other X201 models if you put the correct 'WPH' file in the right spot.

    “The Amiga expects ‘byte swapped’ images”
    no; emulators expect byte swapped images. As in, you dump a rom and then you need to byte swap it for emulators to be able to use it.
    The fact that swapping the bytes renders ASCII strings legible does not change how they are stored on the hardware.

    This is a placeholder bio for the moment but i'm @wyatt8740@tech.lgbt . It's probably a good idea to follow me here if you follow me there.I'm migrating from tech.lgbt I think. I am getting annoyed with the infighting between instances I want to follow people on.I'm some kind of non-binary trans-feminine, but I'm not too worried about the specifics of my identity. I am me… whatever that means to you. :pI like old thing.<3 C, Unix, shell scripting, old electronics, emacs, & old cute cars. Nearly 30.(Seeking a job!)Current obsessions include Bubblegum Crisis & the NEC PC-9801.I draw pixel art of varying quality.I want to be genuine and connect with others empathetically, bidirectionally; we need more of that and to assume good faith more easily. I still am strongly opinionated though, so I'm sorry if I don't always live up to my own expectations.Vetting follows, it's just a vibe check.LMK if I should CW something or act differently, I want to
