Re: What do you regret throwing out?
Posted on 2021-07-12, 10:58
I always regret something after recycling at work, but we cant keep all so things have to go. We tried giveaways earlier but people are not interested and we dont ship. Most things in the dumpster now are business stuff like HP dc7700, 7800 SFFs and HP laptops like 6735b, 6930p etc. I salvaged a lot …
Re: Retro PC without ISA. What sound would you choose?
Posted on 2020-08-05, 17:33
If you want a P4 s478 system with ISA it think a PCIAGP/PXAGP should be considered. The PCI-ISA bridge card use an ITE 8888 chips that seem to work in DOS. The drawback is that this would cost atleast $250 for a 13 slot backplane and CPU card. Add to that you need an industrial case, but you will …

I managed to upgrade my XL even further, to a P200MMX PODP. Works great and so quick now... Remember we had at work 5 or 6 Deskpro XL 5100 that i upgraded with the Kingston Turbochip 366 (AMD K6-2) if i remember correct (may be 333) in 1999. Even used this upgrade on a Proliant 4500 and two …

Re: MINI-AGP to AGP adapter
Posted on 2019-12-25, 01:09
VDDQ is basically the power voltage to the transistors in the output stage of a chip. The designation is also used for the power voltage to memory chips. It's not a signal itself but rather one of the power voltages to devices that process the signals. . Thanks for explaining that. Tried to …
MINI-AGP to AGP adapter
Posted on 2019-12-24, 13:57
The MINI-AGP or MICRO AGP connector was mostly used on some PICMG 1.0 SBCs from Comell, IPC, IBASE and maybe others. The MINI-AGP cards were rather limited and the only "real" graphics card i have found was based on the ATI M-10 chip that equals a Radeon 9600. I got on of those and a Comell FS-97A …
Re: Socket 479 (Pentium M) Motherboard with DMA enabled ISA. Models?
Posted on 2019-12-21, 21:30
I think maybe the only possible option you have to get ISA with ITE 8888 for s479 is to use a PICMG SBC such as the Commell FS-97A. This SBC also has a Mini-AGP slot, but cards are very few and very rare. ATI Radeon M-10 (Radeon 9600) is one of them. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=57020&p= …

Usually the floppy cable has connectors for two drives and often one was for a 1.2MB drive. Since its a Compaq i would not be suprised if …

Deskpro /L used the same power supply as well, just the PS-housing is different, but the PCB is the same. I successfully transplanted one to my dead systempro once, so I am sure. Prosignia 486 (aka 3080) seems to use a different more cubic PS, while Sytempro uses a stretched one. eisapc Ok i think …

In theory it may be possible with an adapter or interposer that physically could cut the power traces to the CPUs, but even if that could be done im not sure if a motherboard would accept a working CPU in slot/socket 2 if CPU 1 was not detected. Running two differnt CPUs at the same time i think …
