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 …

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 …

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 …

What kind of software was running on such systems? Compaq Proliant 4000 came in 1993 and Microsoft also launched Windows NT 3.1 that year so that would be one option, but also some flavours of NIX such as SCOunix were x86 SMP capable.
