This is a project aimed at documenting as many pieces of hardware as possible, built entirely by volunteers, who code for the site/add new entries in their free time. We also have a GitLab repository, where you can see the code behind TRW.

I'm a little puzzled by the name, since it seems to be more about vintage computer hardware than the web. Or I guess maybe it's like a mini-web about retro things? Idk

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Old school websites were often called "webs". Its synonymous with "site". So it just means "retro [stuff] site"

Maybe because it is about the retro web era. Or Web 1.0 and the hardware that existed during that time. I don’t know just speculation.

Fun to dig around a bit!!! Hoped to find my old ATi 9700 card from MSI on there, but only found the chip :(

No video cards?

[-] ourob@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

They are under expansion chips.

[-] thejml@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

I noticed that as well. Or any other expansion boards of the day. The odd peripherals is part of what made the retro stuff interesting!
