Well, this forum has passed its prime and is now a resource for people that find a dot.station off eBay, find one on the street (n.s., I got an email today that said "Hi i found a Dot.station in the streets three days ago.").


So, for those ppl. who are still online w/ a dot, tell us what you did to it, how far you modded it, etc... Just to share. 1 post per person please.


PS - Who would have EVER thought we'd just leave a prefectly good all-in-one in the street like a used diaper?

My wife's Dot "Manuel" is her home-office PC (mostly for online banking) running Win98SE. It has an OEM motherboard and a notebook CD-ROM drive and a PCI modem (for some reason I wasn't able to get the original Spanish modem to work.) No overclocked CPU or added memory or anything. The built-in phone is nice since it doesn't take up any desk space, and music CD's sound decent through the built-in speakers.

I sold my house, quit my job and moved across the country, and then got engaged, so sadly, my dot.station is sitting in a rented storage facility with my collection of old commodore computers and some furniture. At least it's climate controlled ;)

Someday hopefully I'll be able to dig it back out and put it to use (along with my audrey). Even though all I really ever did with it was make the LEDs blink ;)

I bought my dot.station some weeks ago, because i like playing around

Any, after leaving it powered on a whole day, the original harddrive (a 10GB Samsung drive)
startet get louder and louder, making strange noises (she was going to die, i think)
now i got a 40 GB replacement drive, Samsung again (SV0411N), which is a real silent drive-
no audible noise if built into the dot.station.

At the moment I try to figure out how to get my 1.1 GHz Copperine P-III to work with the board, it always recognizes it as a 733MHz Pentium 3, obviously the FSB is too low (66 instead of 100 MHz)

Finally I will try what the dot-mobo will say to a single 512 MB memory module,
after that putting it back together as a small machine for my mother (she loves the design)

PS: Does some know of a powerful PCI Graphics card, the onboard graphic has not much power..
