Do you recall if the Ezra-T tested was a native FSB133 x 7.5 and you bumped the multiplier to 9 with SetMul ? Was it overvolted ? Do we have the part number on the back ? The only Ezra-T I've been able to test is an Ezra-T 10 x 100. Yet others in Vogons reported the same unexpected behavior of Ezra …

I was planning to trace continuity with a multimeter between bridges and VID1, when I got side-tracked by some MTRR findings: Ezra appears to be substantially faster than Ezra-T (with WC on graphics memory)! I started a separate thread for that: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1287028 …

Fantastic! :-) Does the bridge on the left match BSEL1 and the one to the right BSEL0 ? Is bridge closed equal to 1 on the pin ? Do we think other bridges might also control voltage (e.g. VID1) ? The bridge on the left matches BSEL1 and the one to the right BSEL0. Indeed. A 133MHz FSB CPU has both …

See attached image for how Bus frequency select pins (BSEL) are wired on a similar Ezra. There are two bridges that configure the signal of the Socket 370 BSEL pins, all marked in Yellow. I verified it with a multimeter. Image is based on screenshots from "VIA C3 C5B Samuel 2 Datasheet V1.12.pdf"

Looking at the sequence of the bridges in your notes, may we assume they also control the FSB ? I suppose yes. But I have to take a better look at my notes...I was actually mostly tinkering with Ezra-T and Nehemiah, which have different bridges. Sometimes I could easily find the logic in the …

Hey, - (Ezra) SetMul reports 3-12 as available range of multipliers, but up from default 9 only accepts 10 (works fine) and 12 (locks). It says 11x is not supported, are locked multipliers inside the supported range to be expected ? The set and read table for Ezra has a gap after 10x. The gap of …

The R7 250E is identical to the HD 7750 (except for the E?), so I'm sure it will trade blows with the K620 in some games but most likely will be slower overall... just going by what I have seen in benchmarks online. Also, power consumption of the K620 will be much better. Some Radeon HD 7750 …

For what it is worth. I have a Mobile Pentium III fixed on a socket 370 adapter.

So, who was first to clone the SB16 ? Looks like ASC (Ant Systems Corp.), with the TROUPER 4x4 chip - their version 1.6 software is dated March 16, 1995, with 1994 copyright. ALS007 is from 1996, CMI seems even later. The original SB16 was from 1992. Probably the only challenge for clone makers was …

Do you think that it would be worth it getting the a KT 400 board over the KT 333 board for just 10 euro more? If you can, why not take the latest revisions of the VIA KT series? VIA was not Intel, in that Intel could introduce new features without teething problems. For example, I found that KT …

I'm thinking of modding one of my Tillamook 266 CPUs, but after skimming through the thread, it's still unclear to me if the 4x multiplier mod would actually lock it to 4x (as in, without the possibility of selecting lower multipliers, which would be unacceptable to me). FYI, I'd like to use it on …

You'll be happy to know that TerminalFury supports SideWinder joysticks. In fact, it's what I use during development. The Sidewinder 3D Pro to be specific, with a USB converter. Good to hear that. It is also ironic that the Boosted Edition malfunctions in this way (since the last patch, that is), …

Glad to see your project is still going. I thought maybe it had fused with the "boosted edition". From what I see your version adds many neat features. And since the boosted edition does not like my Sidewinder Joystick, it is good to have another option in the future.
