Anyone in the northeast US have a sub-12" VGA crt monitor? Point of sale type unit? preferrably color? Might have stuff to trade.

The VGAs were slightly better than I was expecting. But that's because of new Armored Core. Any year with a new AC is a good one. I have high hopes for Space Marine 2 as well. Something that I like about gaming in modern times is all of the underrated games/serieseses being appreciated and returning to the spotlight. There's boring cinematic 3rd person games sure but you're not stuck in that lane.

The celeron box arrived early! Here's a macro photo of that damaged #VGA header. The seller had removed the heatsink with a non-working fan and I suspected he nad not thermal-pasted the processor so I did that and replaced the fan. It's one of those horror spring clips and unfortunately I damaged the motherboard . Now it gives 3 long beeps indicating memory error 😭 Totally my fault. However these boards are still around so I will get a replacement. Today has been a wild ride.

@taka_hvc1 #BIOS ですら #VGA 始まり (実は #MDA だったりする?) だし、最近はBIOSブート非対応の #EFI 専用カードが多いから、 #CGA や #EGA なんて要らなさそう

これは完全に後知恵なんですが、#IBM #PC , #NEC PC-9800シリーズともども、何でコンベンショナルメモリの上限である640KBを過ぎるとすぐにグラフィック関係のメモリマップドI/Oが来るのかと問いたい。いや、IBM PCは #VGA や #EGA を付けなければ空きがあるようだけど
