Nice build, but where's the 3DFX love? You should at least have an original Voodoo in there. I do have a Voodoo Banshee and a Voodoo 3. The Voodoo 3 is not very healthy, so the S3 is a great replecement. In the future this system will house a second HDD with a Windows 98 install. The Voodoo Banshee …

Both pins read 3V? Hang on a minute. If you put one probe each on each pin, you should get +3V and then when you swap them around -3V. Do you happen to have one of these test-bench cables with start button and LEDs? Yep that's what i get. And yes i've tried with separate LED's. Now have LED's …

I don't know of any women that think this stuff is cool - especially my wife. Each time the doorbell rings with the USPS person waiting for a signature, I get "the look." :dead: That's funny as hell, actually i've go the look from the CTT people (Portuguese mail service). Sometimes i wonder if they …

just received this, a 1st gen MT-32 :D the sound volume knob feels strange, it even got stuck during some tests... IIRC volume changes go through the unit's cpu, could this be the cause it got stuck until power-cycle? other than that I need to rearrange my modules, the MT-32 is wider but has less …

If you have a floppy drive emulator already installed what's the point of having an actual floppy drive? Esthetics Or convenience of using stuff you already have on floppy? Is there limitations to the floppy emulator? Because i'll need the capability of reading old 3.5 and 5.25 disks. Then with HD- …

Nice! I would love to have a DFI super socket 7 board. Im not sure about Via though but I guess DFI diddnt make any super socket 7 boards with Aladdin V / M1541/ M1543? Is your system stable and hassle free? As it is right now it is pretty stable. There might be some games that will eventually not …

Very nice machine :) BTW i've been wanting to ask you something but i've been forgetting. I can't get any signal from the HD-LED connector on the PCI SATA controller. If i connect my LED there i get absolutely nothing at all. Plus, i've tried to measure both pins with my multimeter and they both …

Yeah you need to try the GAL's. Exit the software and then run it again. The first thing you must do is to read the GAL. If the DATA reads the same values as the file then it should be OK. If not the GAL's are fucked up and you need new ones. Try Lattice. They will work the same.

Ok bristlehog, try with this file i've just attached. Make sure the encrypt is out of the programming sequence. It has a nasty habit of coming again. Good luck!

Just opened my MU80, and battery is soldered definitely soldered or fixed in some other way i can't understand. Anyway, it's not a regular CR2032. At least mine is very clean and not leaky.

It's not loading the FUSEMAP properly dude... That won't work. I had that problem too, and i had to tamper with the file. You can also try to put the numbers there carefully, opening the JED file with notepad, and put the 1's in the correct places. Or you can wait until tomorrow, i'll upload you my …

Remove the encrypt because it makes the data unreadable. That's why it gives a verify error. If you remove encrypt and you have the same error then you are facing a defective GAL. Try another one. But always remove encrypt from the program sequence.

On the Ggiabyte and Iwill boards, ACPI is hardwired to IRQ2/9. For some reason, if I use the PCI SATA controller card, Gateway will lock up with the MPU401AT unless I configure it at a different IRQ. I have an Aopen board which allows disabling ACPI. This is the AX59Pro and the only board I have …

Well I haven't been able to resolve this issue. Decided to go back go using CF cards on the mainboard's IDE controller. Now there is no IRQ conflict with the MPU401AT when playing Gateway. Got a 32GB CF card coming from eBay. Hopefully it works well and I have no dramas. Have you tried with SoftMPU …
