It is half the size. The current bios is 64KB, so it won't fit on your ROM.

It uses a standard 27C512 (512 kilobits -> 64KB) chip

1.4MB drive should be fine with 720K mode, however 1.2MB drive is a little bit more *complicated* ... Basically the spinning speed of 360K drive and 1.2MB drive is different and the size of the read/write head is also different. This means that reading *should* be fine (at least for standard DOS …

There's no such thing as a setup on an XT :). This came with the AT systems (and early AT didn't have in bios setup either, you had to use a floppy disk). This is configured via jumpers on the motherboard. But unless somebody messed with the motherboard I think they should be configured properly. …

Sadly I don't know if there are XT keyboards that are clearly recognizable, other than a few like the IBM model F keyboard, but that one costs a fortune nowadays. Adapters must be active as you need to do some signal conversion. I found this https://www.ebay.com/itm/283738884563 but there are many …

XT computers use a different keyboard protocol. You can't use an AT-PS/2 keyboard on an XT without an adapter. Some old AT keyboards have a switch somewhere to switch between AT and XT, but they're not very common By the way this manual and motherboard would be welcome on Theretroweb.com 😁

Fixed. As the backend programmer for this project, this issue is being worked on, but we're a small team and we have to keep balance between expanding the database and improving the system to allow for a proper moderation system. Development takes time :sweat_smile: The next update will change many …

So I saw this.... thing listed on eBay and jumped on it. It's got an actual 440BX chipset on it, believe it or not. I didn't even notice the sneaky AGP slot - see it there? s-l1600.jpg Anyway, it hasn't arrived yet and I have no plan for it, but I'll probably try to make it fit in some case it has …

This is probably a mistake However there's a good chance this will work anyways. Ratio jumpers are useless for Pentium 3 CPUs as they're all locked down. Only the engineering samples are unlocked afaik. So the motherboard clock ration is simply ignored. What matters most here is how capable are the …

It depends what you consider "unknown board" Boards from this list ? https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/?manufacturerId=NULL&showImages=1&page=1 Boards with some incomplete data ? (missing picture, missing schema, missing bios, etc) The second proposition has been thought and will eventually be …

Glad I could help 😀 You're wasting some conventional memory though. If you encounter some memory errors later, you may want to go back to this and check if you cannot load it high again

I see in your autoexec.bat that you typed LH C:\CDROM\SHSUCDEX D:CDROM /M:15 /E /S /L:D /V Shouldn't it be LH C:\CDROM\SHSUCDEX /D:CDROM /M:15 /E /S /L:D /V ? You could also try to simplify it (for testing) to just C:\CDROM\SHSUCDX /D:CDROM /L:D

before turning it on, make sure there are no shorts (the tantalum caps love to fail short) and pay attention to the PSU. Mine died like a week after I started playing with it (since then, I gave that PC to a museum, I never took the time to fix the PSU issue ... Hopefully they will peek into it …

One thing I wonder, which gets dismissed on the PS3 video because for the PS3 it's not feasible : is it possible to "fix" the video cards by using a much beefier aftermarket cooler ? PS3's GPU underfill becomes useless at ~70°C. Like felix said here, it's not really possible to improve the cooling …

Good thing you managed to save that disk for one last read. Sadly sometimes disks show no sign of wear, I believe mold can cause this but it may not be the only thing causing this phenomenon
