I am currently doing a 286 "hotrod" build, based on an ILON M209 motherboard with Hedaka/Siemens chipset and a Harris 20Mhz 286 CPU. The setup has 4Mb 70 ns RAM in the SIPP sockets. I found the setup very particular for compatibility with 16 Bit I/O disk controllers. I'm just sharing my experience …

Don't know if it's the right one, but there's an entry here for the 1.1 board: https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/331#downloads , with a manual: https://www.ultimateretro.net/motherboard/manual/486sh-5f037ecb58512227563484.pdf . It looks like the Stason and MicroHouse entries get their …

Replying to Megantonneke's recent post, I also found a system very recently with the AIR 486SH motherboard..., One problem is that I have not found jumper manual that matches my layout. Mine is v1.1, but the online manual that I found is not a match. I was able to figure out the cpu type jumpers, …

I am delighted as I was able to acquire this 486 VLB system on a Dutch auction site. I recognized it as a Planhold Powerstation VL4 system, built by one of the best clone builders in the Netherlands during the '90s, called Planhold in Amsterdam. Good quality components but for a hefty price in those …

Too bad the old full AT INTEL 302 motherboard wasn’t left in there Too bad indeed but It seems to have been pillaged and repurposed before. Thanks for info. It did not occur to me that the Intel 302 on the label referred to the Intel motherboard. I found in another thread here on Vogons an image of …

For 286 build centred around an Ilon M-209 motherboard with a Harris CS80c286 20Mhz CPU, I was looking for a system case and came across this Heavy-duty Intel branded case (See bottom case on the photo below with a Laser 286/2 on top, for comparison of its oversized dimensions). Has anyone seen this …

I did a bit of recreation of my first slim-line desktop PC-AT: https://www.meganton.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_20220106_213811-scaled.jpg - AMD 286 NL80L286-16/S at 16MHZ (1990) - 4MB Samsung KMM591000BT-7 SIPP RAM 30-pin 70 ns - LM-103S motherboard with Headstart chipset (1990) - Goldstar …

http://www.meganton.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/20190309_083052.jpg Hi there all, I would like to show my humble retro machine: 1996 Tulip Vision Line DE 5/133, mobo TC48, Pentium 133Mhz - Socket 7, 8Mb EDO RAM, onboard Diamond Stealth Video 2500 (Alliance aT24) -disabled-, S3 Virge DX "Daytona" …

It seems that my system has some casual PnP detection problems, which may have caused that the AZTPNP install alone did not work for me initially. But still nice to have the original driver installation specific for this card.

I am working on a Tulip Vision Line de 5/133 machine, to make a nice retro gaming machine. It had, however no soundcard. I came across this still abundant and cheap OEM ISA PnP soundcard from HP systems: The Multimedia Pro 16V-A, based on the Aztec 2320 chipset. See also this youtube from …

26-pin is what the slimline drives use--so not proprietary. There are 34-pin adapters for these if that would help. Otherwise look for more slimline floppy drives to try. No I did not mean that the interface is proprietary, but in my view, evidence is mounting that a custom pin assignment is used …

Hi there everybody, I am attempting to restore a rather special machine a Tulip Vision Line ID 4/100. A machine with almost no documentation online whatsoever. It is a 1994 desktop with a very low profile case, a 486DX2 CPU, 2xPCMCIA slots and integrated on the mobo a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5434 graphics …

Hi there, I was doing some research on Tulip computers and came across this thread. As a dutch native speaker I already read parts of the former Tulip usergroup website. In their download section there is this system1.zip file with a lot of background on the system I in dutch. I read it and there …
