I gave up on Overdrive P-II as it only offers minimal increase in performance. By my tests around 10-20% in best case over PPRO 1MB @233Mhz. And I kinda don't like P-II that much. Might also do a test on a Dual PPRO board. 110% For years now, the ePay prices for over drives has been firmly in the …

That's.. exactly what I said? Anyway, worst case scenario, 20- pin atx connectors are jelly-bean parts. So as gon as you don't mess the board up, you can try multiple times. Just take your time.

Looking at that connector. between the base OEM config and the dell... I would wager highly, if you were to move the ATX connector on the motherboard to the other side, it would likely be compatible with "standard" ATX power supplies.

It looks great! MY OCD is going batshit crazy over the 2 different sticks of ram. It is 120% illrational, but good lord it screams at me like a room of small children high on sugar. I would swap the modem for a USB ONE-POINT-ONE card. Putting 2.0 on win 98 is a hassle. External modems are cooler …

Yea DELL is a giant throbbing knob-end for doing that ATX thing. MANY MANY "oem" companies will rely on someone else to build their boards. Intel made motherboards for anyone and let them put their own coat of paint on it. ASUS made motherboards for HP for over a decade, as another example.

Well, the 5500 isn't really an agp board if you dig into it. It's closer to a 66mhz pci video card with an agp connector

As I recall, most dual Tualatin boards had sub-par AGP performance. I do have a project in the works for my dual tuallies, but I'm not ready to go public with it until I get one last part ....

Re: Help with NCR RAM expansion card
Posted on 2023-01-09, 23:07
it looks like NCR made that card. (at very least the ASIC) I would wager this card to be mostly universal and a google search for "isa memory card NCR 30-pin" would strike close to the target.

I got one of these cards a while back for a pittance. I always knew they were acer specific. It's nice to know the eeprom socket was supposed to come unpopulated.

I have a soft spot in my heart for those dual Tualatin boards. If you can find the correct riser card, I'd stick with that. I'd be interested to see how adding pci slots back to the board would turn out.

Somehow, I'm less than surprised. I will admit, checking the pinout is pretty low on my troubleshooting list.

Bios chips have limited re-flash ability. Every time you save the bios settings brings the chip closer to failure. Some chips last 10's of 1000's of times. Some are much quicker to give up the ghost. If it were my board, I would flash a replacement and try that.

I've always washed boards in hot soapy water. Dawn I'd my go-to. I also will goto town on it with a stiff bristle hand brush. Standard rinse with distilled water to remove any minerals from the water, and a 2nd rinse of 99% ipa.

I have a big box of token ring stuff. Stuff that I plan to "get a round to it". Maybe one day, I'll win a battle against my ADHD brain and learn token ring.
