I've used numerous Asus TXP4s and P55T2P4s @ 83MHz with all sorts of hard drives, video cards, sound cards, and PCI IDE and PCI SATA cards with no issues. I'm not saying that all hardware will work with a 41 MHZ PCI bus, but it's never been an issue for me.

I thought I was going to be able to help, but this link I found some time ago to the old PCChips website has working links for almost all PCChips boards, but not for the M701 BIOS. https://web.archive.org/web/20061020193316fw_ … d-bios.asp#M701

I've had several of those that have worked fine for me, but I read a review on Amazon where someone said that theirs caught on fire! I've also had a number of these over the years that have worked well for me, but I know that others have had issues.

IMO you should focus on finding out why the SATA to IDE adapter isn't working. The 815 is ATA 100, so it should offer as good if not better hard drive speed than the 3112 card.

The Silicon Image PCI SATA cards I've tried have only worked on Intel chipsets - the one I use successfully with my Asus TXP4 has errors when I try to use it with Via chipsets. The Promise IDE cards have worked on everything I've tried them on, and the IDE 100 cards are inexpensive enough that they …

I've installed Win98 to 120 gigabyte SSD drives in the following computers: Asus TXP4, PCChips M930LMR, and an Epox MVP3G-M. I used Super FDISK and an OEM (bootable) ISO of Win98 that I copied to the hard drive. I used SATA to IDE adapters, and/or SATA PCI controllers. You may be dealing with some …

When I catch myself regretting dumping old hardware at an Ewaste facility (I had a big purge Socket 7 boards and AT cases in 2009/10 because I lost use of a storage shed) , I remind myself that if I had kept it, it would have just been more electronics converted to smoke and ash in the Camp Fire.

Back in the good old days when there was a nearby Ewaste facility that was so small that they let stuff overflow to an area by the front door, one of the things I rescued one night was an HP AIO Omni 120-1034. I brought it home and checked it out, saw that it was in perfect working order, and put it …

Also, the K6-3+ is the end of the line CPU for Socket 7, and as with all CPUs where that is the case, the prices get wildly inflated. Be patient and you'll likely find a decent deal. Not quite a year ago I bought k6-3+ 450 for $32.99 on Ebay, and in Oct. of 2019 I got a K6-2+ 533 for $11.45.

This information is for a slightly different Biostar VX board, but it sounds as though it would be relevant to this one, so have a look and see if your board is the same or similar enough: https://www.vobarian.com/8500tvx.html Well, this solved my issues, it was the multiplier, now it runs at 200 …

This site lists 3 different versions of this motherboard (version 1, 2, 2.1) and they have .txt files for the jumper settings for each. The version # should be somewhere on the motherboard, so make sure of which you have and double check the jumper settings. https://pcrebuilding.altervista.org/52/6/ …

It looks like the 0057V and the 0075V EO are a little bit different. Here's another seller with a 0057V EO which matches the one on Ebay, and has a clear photo of the model number on the board. Both of these boards have a DIP switch, which the one on Stason does not. https://skylots.org/6540160656/ …

I have one of those - I picked it up last fall as part of a lot of parts for $30.00 from a Craigslist seller. The front USB cable connects to the motherboard with single pins, and I was so annoyed by this that I found a nine pin connector and installed that instead; it's much easier to connect to …
