I got it, and thanks for your efforts, but after unzipping it, the P51DV2 folder is empty, and the base mods image is corrupted. 🙁

Jane's spurred my interest in PCs. I the spring of 2001 had a Socket 7 AT machine that was based on a Cybermax computer that came with a Biostar MB8500TVX. I had upgraded the Cyrix CPU to an Evergreen upgrade CPU (Winchip), but I saw my neighbor play this game and I knew I had to be able to play it. …

It seems there is some interest in WW2 Fighters here at VOGONS. When I get a chance I'll upload my copy of the Base Mods CD somewhere. Your missing P51D mod is likely available on that disc. I hope so, but I have my doubts. Rammjager didn't release his P-51D V2 until July of 2003. It was probably …

I just put together a Socket A system for fun. NF7 S2, XP3200+, two gigs of DDR 400, a 500 gig SATA drive, XP SP3 with all of the latest updates, and an Nvidia 6800 GT. I decided to try installing Jane's WW-2 Fighters, the first time I've done so since maybe 2003? Initially the game had terrible …

No official support from the chipset. Ah, that explains it. Is it possible to manually get it to 400mhz? With my Epox 8K3A+ I was able to overclock the FSB by quite a bit without any issues. Having used old Socket 7 Intel chipset motherboards at 83 MHz FSB without any issues (PCI bus ends up at 41 …
Direct X 8 card for my Asus TXP4?
Posted on 2018-06-24, 01:02
I've a TXP4 with a K6-III+ @500 MHz, and it now has a 64 meg MX420. I picked up a 128 meg Radeon 9250, but the system won't POST with it installed (but the card works fine in another motherboard). Does it have too much memory for such an old board, or is it something else? I'd try an FX5200, but …

Scandisk: encountered a data terror while reading the FAT entry for cluster 540672. Over the weekend I decided to knock together a system with an NF7S2, XP3200+, and a couple of gigs of DDR to test my 6800GT AGP card. All was going fine (I was actually at the desktop in Windows XP) when it got …
Re: I recently found this hardware, AKA the Dumpster find thread.

I recently found a pallet by a dumpster with some old printers, a NAD stereo receiver (something I would have killed for back in the 80s, but now I left it where it was), and a couple of PCs. One is a Compaq mini PC, with the drives removed, motherboard still there, but no memory. It takes an …

To clarify, the plastic connectors on IDE cables can start to separate after repeated removals, especially if it is a tight fit into the drive. This can be so subtle that you don't see it, so the cable looks fine but doesn't work.
Re: ABIT BX6 not detecting hard drive
Posted on 2018-06-13, 13:57
I wonder, could IDE cables mess up hard drives? I ask because I think the cable I'm using for the optical drives has killed two hard drives... I suppose it's possible. I once had an issue that turned out to be a bad IDE cable. I spent lots of time on that computer only to finally solve the issue by …

I got this new motherboard today (revision 1). I've loaded it up with 512MB RAM and a Pentium III 450MHz, but I can't get it to detect the hard drive. iDE 1 has a single 40GB Western Digital HDD on it, and IDE 2 has the DVD drives. I've looked in the BIOS and nothing obvious stands out. The auto- …

Does the 440hx chips ether even support booting off a cd rom? Your best bet would be using a ms-dos boot disk with cd drivers and then install Windows My Asus P55T2P4 has the HX chipset, and it boots off the CDROM just fine. There seems to be some sort of underlying hardware issue here, but I don't …

I think this would be a good candidate: if you have a Maxtor branded Promise PCI ATA 100 or 133, the Promise drivers won't work, and the Maxtor ones are now hard to find. I just found a site that is hosting them, and I just used them to install Win XP on an Asus TXP4 with one of these cards (so I …

Jan Steunebrink mentions that his patched BIOS for that board "This BIOS is for boards with a 1Mbit (128KB) flash chip." http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm Which implies that there were different sized BIOS chips on those?

Surely the question should be is there a better cpu I can use for my Asus P5-99VM motherboard. Of coarse there is. This motherboard is capable of running a K6 plus cpu at 600MHz and most likely at an fsb of 133Mhz. The SIS530 chipset unofficially supports an fsb of 133 with a 1/4 divider. So the …

My brother bought one of these as a Newegg refurb back in 2006, and I set it up for him and installed Win XP on it. In 2012, I ended up with one I bought for cheap, and I finally used it to build a workstation computer at my then job. I wasn't officially an IT person, but we had old broken down …

I ordered one of those boards from Tiger Direct back in 2001. I had built a system using a K6-2+ 475 and an Asus P55T2P4 earlier in the year, which was a noticeable speed boost over the Biostar/Winchip board it replaced while allowing me to use the same AT case, memory, etc. But I had been given an …
