Can't You create Dos install disks from images and install Dos from there that way. It was quite a long while ago I did this but seem to remember using 720k DS DD disks as XT's usually don't support 1.44mb floppies. You may be able to format a 1.44 as a 720. Another thought might be to see if You …

Hmmm, maybe my "help" was bogus. I have been using my cf-lite that I made myself in an XT machine lately and had similar issues. Dos actually sees the 2gb partition as non-dos so maybe imaging isn't going to work. How about just formatting it as FAT only, not fat32. Then just simply copy the files …

Got a Jetway (J-Mark) 5TXC rev 2 from Ebay as not working for $30 AUD delivered including Pentium 200 MMX CPU. A real bargain, has Intel TX chipset and support for 83mhz bus speeds and up to 4.5x multi. Anyway it was dead, no post at all. I pulled the Bios chip and noticed pins 15 and 16 were …

Some of the parts I got recently. The Audigy SB0240 was supposed to be a full SB0350 as pictured on ebay, so got a refund for that and have kept the card. The Midiman and Aztech 4dwave will be interesting to play around with, especially with the wavetable headers as well.

I've been messing about with my Epox EP-MVP3G5 with a AMD K5 PR133 in it which it actually doesn't support I suspect due to the fact that 3.5v is not available. Anyway it works ok at 83x1.5 = 125mhz at 3.3v. I have been trying to play a game I bought in 1994 that I never played - TFX, but it keeps …

There are no pins missing at all. If You look close enough You will see the "non missing" pins aren't connected to anything. I just counted them. There are 11 pins connected to nothing and the bottom card has the same 11 missing pins. Likely Creative used a couple of different board manufacturers …

Interesting Problem. I have a much older Abit KT7-raid with KT133 chipset and that had no problems with a 9800XT. I think I even had a HD3650 running on it at one point. I hope Your power supply has a powerful +5v rail, as the Athlon XP chips and earlier all run off the 5v rail as opposed to 12v …

I recently got one of these ATLONA AT-HD510VGA models off Ebay, much to my surprise brand new and factory sealed for $65 AUD. It works great except for the annoying way it sees 720x400 as 640x350. I've tried everything possible but It makes no difference. Tried about 4 different video cards as well …

Thanks. I should have looked back a page, the same question was asked by Daniël Oosterhuis. Too much hassle trying to install NT4, XP, or Win2000 on this computer but may try to boot xp off Hiren's boot cd and try Siv in that, but the questions been answered.

Overclocked IBM/Cyrix MII PR166@200mhz, and stock AMD K6 266 (66X4). I am curious why cpuz has no problem detecting fsb and multipliers on the 6x86 chips but can't on the AMD K6 on the same Motherboard which is a EPOX EP-MVP3G5. The K6 is not a k6-2

Try a different main video card if You have one. If it works perfectly on the P3 system then it won't be the voodoo1 that is the problem. Maybe it's not properly switching between video cards. Software/driver issues?

I have attached the datasheet, 175 Degrees C operating temperature. Just put a heatsink on it and should be ok. You could also measure it with a multimeter, there should be no short circuits between any of the pins.
