ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

"The Falcon Mach V is the longest running production PC. Since 1993, our full-tower Mach V system has been the leader in enthusiast computer designs."

these two statements do not agree...

I'm going to guess it's an IBM clone anyway and move on
<andlabs>
(in fact I am unconvinced "5/86" on the back is a datecode since they say 1993 and it's probably referring to 586 instead, and I think that's an SD card adapter in the rightmot expansion slot)

There's a blue NiMH barrel battery right next to the keyboard connector
<cr1901_modern>
Not saying it's never been done, but: this is a PC or XT-style case
<cr1901_modern>
and I wouldn't expect a battery to be on a PC/XT board
<cr1901_modern>
b/c clones don't usually have an RTC on board
<cr1901_modern>
NiCd*, sorry

"A SCSI host adapter is a device used to connect one or more other SCSI devices to a computer bus. It is commonly called a SCSI controller, which is not strictly correct as any component understanding the SCSI protocol can be called a controller" god why so complicatedly pedantic, SCSI and/or wikipedia
<whitequark>
this is important for people working on SCSI devices and nobody else in the world!! better put it on the encyclopedia page
<whitequark>
as if the people working on SCSI devices will get their SCSI knowledge from wikipedia.
