Website has been down since I moved to norway, getting it back up has been a very low priority... You can find the most important downloads peppered in this thread. Statuswise, the project is not dead but I have not had time to work on the software side of things but the hardware is finished. I …

Looks fantastic Tiido. Will the software run on an 8088? It will, I am not using any instructions 8088/8086 do not have, same as with original QB45 program, but it does require VGA card since it uses 80x50 for the UI part and I have no plans to support 80x25. EDIT: Levels are now being shown, …

@Deksor & @Physikant Maybe both of you bought some rare component from the same seller, and it could be a fake? I was also thinking of building this card (but ordering from farnell.com , as shipping from Mouser costs the same as the materials, in my case). But after seeing this, i'm getting kind of …

any modern low watts PSU I can use along with this that has been tested having also a stable +5v too? The cheapest decent PSUs, seem to be the Segotep ATX-500WH that I reviewed here, and the LC Power LC6560GP3 v2.3 80+ Silver . Though nobody actually measured their output stability with an …

But this is the best solution I’ve seen so far. See at 5:30. -5 is injected in at the ATX adapter. https://youtu.be/iGlIgqNpK50?si=asg80lmBwxI7Dh4b 81D4629F-06AC-46EB-886F-635D637D3382.jpeg Thanks both. I think the solution before the AT connector seems the better one and look better to insert the …

There is actually a G200 PCI which can have an optional flat panel connector attached to it. I have one of these but found it to not be DVI but something else. I think it's some kind of VESA connector; I've researched it before but don't recall the details offhand. I do have an adapter for it, but …

Which is the status of modern "new" retro oriented -5V compatible PSUs for AT mainboards? Are there any new ones I'd use on a AT or ATX late 90 system on the market built in modern times specifically for them? Just get yourself 1 of these: https://uk.farnell.com/stmicroelectronics/l7905acv/ic-v-reg …

The reason I asked about combining +12V1 & +12V2, was because in the case of @Minutemanqvs' LC6560GP3 v2.3 PSUs 80+ Silver PSU (which specifies 2 split 12V rails on the label) ; the 12V is kinda low. And that may be because on one of the +12V rails, only the GPU connector harness might be …

Thank you @Kahenraz for all this invaluable information! At least now we/I know more about this card, and what not to bother with... vbios was definitely on my list :) I dug around and found some benchmark results that I did a few years back on some MATROX cards. So just for a comparison, on my …

@Kahenraz So you mean to say you tested with via AND other chipsets? And on the other chipsets, although Bus Mastering was enabled, and performed twice as fast as on the VIA, ...still, performance was bad in 3D ???? If so, did you also play around with different drivers for the card? (on the non-VIA …

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with these cards on Socket7 PCs. As these cards could be a good candidate for a a lower spec system with no AGP, like a Pentium MMX ....Especially if you want DVI output!

I'm curious if anyone knows if it would be ok to short/merge together the two 12V rails.. In general it's rather non-ideal to connect directly in parallel 2 constant-voltage power sources that aren't "perfectly" matched (see Nextys AN004 by Marco Geri)… …but you might get away with it, because: " …

I can't measure that but don't look too far either. My Athlon MPs have a TDP of 50W, 60W max. So worst case is 120W and the mainboard also has an additional 12V connector to help. I tried, it runs stable even without the 12V connector. 5x 27 = 135W, I doubt that on ANY single-CPU system this should …

Not easy to measure the total current on four +5 on a ATX with one meter.... I know you can pull a pin out and check, that would give a good average per leg and should be same on all 4. so 4x meter..... Be a bit tough to pull all 4 to meter and back to 4... most Digi's have a 10amp max for like 15 …

120W off the wall for your K6-2+ system. Hmm that's much. Reading the specs your K6-2 should consume about 30W as well as a 233MHz MMX. There should be enough room for ISA/PCI cards and hard/optical drives. Do you have any special components in your system? The CPU is OC'd to 550MHZ which should be …
