0x000B- TView Presocard: Windows 95 Composite Video

I would take my laptop with me everywhere when I was young. Playing games on the go was always great. But it would have been better to hook up to a TV. Well here is how that could have gone.

PCMCIA, I know...

I got this new and didn't know much about it other that it could connect a computer to "any TV". After getting it setup I found it was actually really cool. It's not much more than an active VGA to composite or S-Video adapter, but it's still cool.

That moment when this guy just managed to be more Druaga than Druaga

15:20 -- That beep is the sound laptops make when they find a PCMCIA card. It plays in reverse when the card is ejected too.

[TheAlgukas]

15:02 that precious timing of the machine restart and voice expression

"where tf is it"

"Apple Presentation System? We don't know anything about that" *grabs weed and SSD

Fun fact, raspberry pi 3 supports composite video output. I found that out the other day as I don't have an HDMI cable in my house

Did you get beat with the "C" section of the encyclopedia? It's PCMCIA not PCMIA. :p

[mateuszkorzeniewski]

Believe me or not, but you have just beaten Druaga when it comes to content :v

2:05 Word of advice, when possible without damaging the box opening both sides can make this much easier as it increases how much the sides can flex.

I think you could resize the screen with those arrows on program so the cut part of screen below could shown

So glad you did this video cause I wanted a device similar to this for my WinXP laptop earlier this week

[UenoLocker]

Guess it can't hurt being subscribed to both you and Druaga, maybe.

Some VGA outputs are capable of delivering a Composite/S-Video, my old 2006 Toshiba laptop that had an S-Video connector beside its VGA connector could. You might try that connector that came with the card in a few of your laptop's VGA connectors.

I'm disappointed, not a single BSOD after inserting a PCMCIA card. That's a ritual when working with PCMCIA cards in Windows 9x! 😅

[leons]

Could you do a video on your windows 98 machine? It would be awesome to know what components it has and how it runs games

[Ice_Karma]

The text mode is 640×400 on VGA by default, IIRC.

[CanuckGod]

Seems the C is M.I.A. in your rendering of PCMCIA... otherwise, nice review!

[dysfunctionalwombat]

I had an Apple Presentation system
It's a lot like the apple presentation system in a sense

[spongeyperson]

The background noise from that CRT made my head hurt

[aliteraldumpsterfire]

Wow. Never heard of "PCMIA" before! i know about pcmcia but never have i heard about "PCMIA"! Thanks!
