You can pickup an AT power supply for like $30…just buy one and replace the 220V one laddy-come-lately.
its not the same.
some motherboards can taste the difference and know theyre in a different country. -

Not quite. Nuclear fusion is pollution-free.

on earth the process of extracting these nuclear fuel is very dirty and detrimental to the environment. -

It is as far as how the motherboard works dumbo...the motherboard doesn't run off A/C.
You can take a PC mother board from China, India, Chili, Liberia and Kenya and they will all work off a 110v or 220v AT power supply...because AT power supplies all give out the same DC voltages...it's a standard.
...well maybe not the Liberia and Kenya ones..you'll need electricity generated from yak shit for those. -

Irrelevant. The PC in this setup is power 100% off the batteries (using an online UPS).
You could even power it from a generator, or solar array...no need for plugging it into "the wall".
Again though...it doesn't matter..you are only powering the power supply..not the motherboard...the motherboard is provided the same DC voltages no matter what country it is in.
It's fine Vincent...You were wrong...lets not fall out over this. -

That being said, would you describe why a DOS specific computer is preferential to say just having an emulator on your computer
Are you planning on playing oregon trial and having a screen saver?
I was born in 1793, so i'm a little young, but is there an explanation why the screen needed to be "Saved" with a moving image instead of just blacking out like a 14 year old at a rave?
Thanks for your insight into this,
I am genuinely curioius. If I find old computers, how will I know where da gold at?
Because if you go on eBay there's dozens of them for under $200.
Plus he's not doing anything that vmware couldn't have easily done. -
2021-08-19 at 2:42 PM UTCSome people like to use the real hardware, I'm one of them. Emulating RARELY carries 100% accuracy too..you also can't use the thousands of peripherals/cards etc with an emulator...again, if hardware is your thing you need the real deal to play with various hardware configurations.

and even then these batteries that output DCs would have to be converted into AC before they become useable by the mobo.
also, AC 240v 50Hz isnt the same as 240v 60Hz.You could even power it from a generator, or solar array…no need for plugging it into "the wall".
yes. all need to be first converted into AC.Again though…it doesn't matter..you are only powering the power supply..not the motherboard…the motherboard is provided the same DC voltages no matter what country it is in.
It's fine Vincent…You were wrong…lets not fall out over this.
a sensitive motherboard could tell the difference. -

Yes, by the inverter board in the UPS..not by plugging the pC "into the wall"a sensitive motherboard could tell the difference.
No it couldn't...12VDC is 12VDC.
3 days and this was the best you could come up with Vincent???...fucking Lollingtons, West Virginia. -

the topic was never about the wall. it was about the AC.No it couldn't…12VDC is 12VDC.

have you ever hook them up to a scope ? -

Um the current conversation followed this...

You don't need to plug a PC into "the wall"...to power it...try to keep up.have you ever hook them up to a scope ?
Direct current is the flow of an electric charge in one direction. It is the steady state of a constant voltage circuit. If you are outputting 12VDC you are outputting 12VDC...there is nothing for a "Sensitive motherboard" to detect other than the 12VDC and the current...
A 12VDC 5A output from an AC adapter, a UPS, a Solar array, an inverter board, a water powered generator etc etc...IS 12VDC 5A...There is NOTHING to detect as far as "Oh! this comes from a windmill!" -

its a sequel to this
Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Um no…dumbo. PC momtherboards run off DC voltage put out by the power supply…the AC input is irrelevant.

not all DCs are the same. let me repeat:
have you examined DCs under an osciloscope.
