Got the CPU. Appears to work just fine. Board identifies it as an XP. AIDA64 does as well.

Got my hands on a pair of JBL Platinum sp08a11 speakers, for just around the equivalent 0f $10! In excellent condition!! GrBAet2WcAALDsK.jpg Hey! I just bought a set of those too! Honestly, they're not bad. I wanted something that WASN'T USB and had a power supply that was rated for something …

I would expect it to work, does it work with an Athlon XP 2600+ or any Athlon XP CPU? If not could be an issue with the motherboard, how do you know the Athlon MP 2600+ works? The board currently has an 1800+. I don't have a 2600 on hand, thats why I ask. The MP model is A LOT cheaper than the XP …

I have an MSI KM2M. Is there a reason it wouldn't work with a 2600+ Athlon MP? It supports 2600 XP (both 266 fsb). Both are Thoroughbred cores.

Grabbed this PCI EvilKing Voodoo3, card looks to be in good condition but its untested so fingers crossed. Wasnt expensive either due to being untested.

Was there ever a pci usb card that was made that has, Win98 support, at least 2 external headers, and an INTERNAL header, on a green pcb? Had a few of these over the years - seemed mainly to come with USB front break-out kits. I still have examples based on NEC & ALi chips, but none of the VIA- …

Re: Is the read head broke? (5.25")

Just received this drive. I see where the metal cover goes but is the back of the read head broke? You mean the missing part of the ferrite core? That might be the erase coil, in general you'd not want it to be in the same magnetic loop as the R/W coil(s). But there are a few different ways to …

No no, look closer. Where the read head coils are. The metal piece I know I can fix.

At those chip prices adding cache makes zero sense . Either source two PBsrams or upgrade CPU, both options will cost less than half the moneys and provide much more speed. I was going to suggest an MMX CPU for more internal cache rather than messing with DIP cache, but it's 3.3V-only Well, I …

As mentioned the best thing to do with these boards is stick them into an ATX case with a custom backplate. Concerning the cache, you're going to need 64kx8 32-pin SRAMs. The Triton chipset does not support 1024kb as far as I know. You should also consult the manual as to which cache chips you're …

Instead of starting a new thread. I dropped an IBM 6x86M in and the darn thing actually booted. I assume it was running at 133MHz, the BIOS doesn't say on POST (still not got windows setup on it yet, still toying around/waiting on parts). That got me thinking (after watching one of LGRs builds). …

It's possible you may be able to "exit SETUP without saving" and boot from a floppy, if you want to play around while you wait for the new clock chip to come. Well, that got me past POST. But I cannot get a floppy drive to work. Always a 112 error. Then it says drive not ready. Tried 2 different …

Also, can anyone identify what i presume are empty cache chips? What would I need in order to populate that? Does it looks like the board already has some L2 cache? Can you verify that with SpeedSys from Dosbench suite? Edit: mkarcher thinks those 2 chips are data path units. As far as I know the …
