X1000 Forums

Hi,

I'm the one that originally responded to someone about using the Google Cache for some of our lost content.  Unfortunately, their cache is from some sort of supplemental db and I fear it will one day be gone.  I'm sure they only hold on to supplemental stuff for some amount of time, before giving up on the site that it's from.  Plus, the data only goes up to about Jan/Feb 2005.

With that in mind, I have attempted to scrape as much of the 7000 pages that they have, before it's gone for good.  The scrapes are only of the text (that's all Google has).

I scraped it for two reasons.  One, is mainly for myself.  I recently wanted to upgrade my 802.11b to g, and during my reading up on it, the original forum was knocked offline.  So after some digging, I found what I needed in the cache.  Second, I want to be able to post what I can back here on occasion to help out.

I spent a little time trying to sort out all the dups and have a way to at least present the archives without having to post them individually, but that's a project on my back burner.

Long live the X1000, and it's forum(s)!

kf_man,

Any idea how to contact flashram (x1000forums admin) and find out his intentions.  Is the old site truly never coming back?  If so, and this is the new destination, maybe he can put a link next to the "Board Offline" message (on the old site).

I can't believe all the users have just gone away.  I feel like one of a few roaches looking around saying, "I guess the jokes about only us roaches surviving a nuclear bomb was wrong".  

I tried emailing an admin at some other board that looked like he set up, but I have not gotten any response.

Just a suggestion.

Some of the data can still be found using Google's cache.  It's tedious, but when all else fails, data is data.  

This is all I could find:

Somebody's hosting the entire "under the hood" pics at http://occpl.com/x1000/.  At least I think they're the "under the hood" pics.

Do you want the text too?  You can probably get it from Google's cache: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:8XEX4XxJz8MJ:www.x1000forums.com/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D869+site:x1000forums.com+upgrade+your+processor&hl=en&client=firefox-a

I'll paste the text for the Processor Upgrade:

QuoteBefore you can upgrade your processor you need to carry out the instructions in this topic:

Getting under the hood of your X1000 w/ pics

Ok, that was easy, now lets:

Remove the heatsink:

   * Remove the four screws and associated springs
   * Lift heatsink/pipe assembly up and out of the case
     Note: These pictures are taken with the lcd and top cover removed. It is not necessary to remove these items when performing the processor upgrade.

Remove the processor:

   * Rotate the zif socket screw one-hundred eighty degrees towards the unlock position
   * Lift processor out of socket

Replacing the processor:

   * Installation is the reverse of removal, however:
   * Take care to align the correct corners of the socket and processor
     together
   * Insure that adequate heatsink compound or tape is present between processor and heatsink to allow proper heat dissipation.

   * Screw installation:

   * Barely thread each screw and spring through the heatsink into the motherboard bosses, when all four screws are in:
   * Following the numbering pattern shown on the heatsink:
   * Tighten each screw until it bottoms out in its boss. The springs will properly seat the heatsink against the processor.

Now you just slap the rest of the case back together and put a fork in it, it's done!
