Oooh, I had a batch of those once! Installed on a couple of office computers as a 100Mbit upgrade, and then they didn't work thanks to collisions! No wonder they were cheap.

Edit: actually they weren't even cheap. I remember jumping into my car and driving to Dixons to grab a bunch of cards to replace them because they were needed *now*

@datenwolf @azonenberg @whitequark @M0KHR Way too expensive! All I remember is that they were NE2000 compatible but Novell was too expensive as well. We used a single coax cable instead of UTP.

@whitequark

Yep, they work as long as you have the space for the adapters.

@whitequark

@SeaDonut this is not real tho

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems im using one of those right now lol, im lucky i happened to have a 16gb sodimm stick lying around

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems EVEN FOR DDR3???

@whitequark

I got a wee bit of DDR3 laptop RAM
- a bit of DDR4 laptop RAM
- some old RAM 386s, ealy Pentium systems
- several old hard drives (working)

None of it is for sale. Gonna be my backup system.

@whitequark @catsalad

This ram shortage adaptor shit is getting way out of hand...

Edit: forgot to write anything.

Here's a review of them.

@whitequark I need to grab a few of those

@sverx @whitequark the price isn't much different but if you need RAM in your desktop and you have some laptop RAM around, the high prices of both make this kludge worthwhile.

@sverx @whitequark Give it time.

@whitequark was gonna post this cus it came on my feed too but i fucking knew i wasn't the only one... Thanks ali....

@thejessiekirk @whitequark This is the question I'm here to find the answer to.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems now make one that goes from ddr to lddr

@whitequark
Wait ddr3 is shoet now too???

@jn @ozzelot @RedstoneLP2 @whitequark can only be used with himem.sys then.

@jn @RedstoneLP2 @whitequark unlike himem, this one just adds 420 bytes to your RAM. May emit a pleasant smoke.

@whitequark @jn @ozzelot @RedstoneLP2 u can now load dos like a pro
