yeah ive always wondered...why afganistan, too?

i was so bored yesterday. i took my ol 133 and took every piece outta that thing. it was pretty cool cuz i always thoght "how the hell do u get the hard drive and cd drive out if i cant see those other 2 screws" so i ended up stumbling upon the fact that you can take off the front panel of the computer and then u can pull out the bays and release the harddrive bay. it was pretty cool. hey smoked, remember u told me i can take the face plates off the cdrom? well i actually did that too! the cdrom didnt even look like the cdrom. one question tho...after i put it back together and turned the comp on, i got a message that the floppy failed, but then the comp booted normally. whats wrong with it?

Floopy cables can be put in upside down.  If your floppy drive light stays on all the time you got the cable reversed.  It may still read but it will destroy the boot sector.  Otherwise make sure the drive works at all.  Sometimes after it shows a problem once the problem stays but since it didn't change you won't see another error until something else changes.  If you can read floopy's and your light doesn't stay on all the time you'll be fine.

ahh, well i just opened the thing up again. in the bios (before i opened it up), i noticed that i had the HD plugged into the secondary ide and the cdrom into the primary. maybe that had something to do with it? so, anyway, i opened the sucker up. i switched the ide for the hd and cdrom, then i unplugged the floppy and hooked it back up. now everything works fine. what did u mean by floppy cables reversed?

Most floppy cables don't have a key so the plug can be rotated 180 degree's (or upside down) and still be inserted.  Even some IDE cable's can be turned and insterted if they don't have a bump or key on them.  That's why you always have to make sure pin 1 goes to pin 1.  Red stripe on the cable marks pin 1 side of the connector  and pin one will be marked on the motherboard with a 1 next to the IDE connector.  Hope I didn't confuse ya.

Yup, backwards cables man

but it could be that ya used the wrong of the two plugs if ya have a two plugged cable.for preventing of having to unscrew the whole thing some bioses haven an option called swap floppy drives. i always try that first. can save a lotta time when working with old puters.

IT's very possible. You could mod a Game Gear battery pack inside the NES and use a GCN screen w/ batt pack and use resistors to throttle the Game Gear batt pack to 6 volts and put in a switch to swap between batt and wall current
