Yes it is running, but one of the hard drives Seagate 6.4Gb does not spin and I think this has the OS. The other one Quantum 3Gb spins and detects but I can't boot from it - possibly it was the data. I tried a 20Gb HDD which I am pretty sure hsad Win98 on it already and it detects but it says the …

Hi guys I found this strange AGP card with a Cyrix Cx486 DX2-66 on it. It has me really puzzled. I tried googling for 'Cyrix Cx486 AGP card' and similar but I just can't find anything like it I don't have any pics at the moment (it's at the workshop) but you can see it close up in this youtube video …

Just a little update I've orderd a CF2IDE adapter and a 2Gb CF card. Actually I found the availability (and prices lower) than the SD2IDE. Just have to wait for it to arrive now.

I had a look - those two ICs near the IDE connectors are 74F245PC - octal 3-state bidirectional bus trancievers - and they definitely buffer the 85C496 from the IDE connector. And they are easily available. I'll check IDE2 connector on Monday and also have a look around the 74F245 with my scope - …

OK so what I will try next is look on the HD label and see if actually I can cap it at 3.2GB as you say Nexxen, as I didn't notice that but then I didn't really look either. If Ican set it to 3.2Gb I can test it on one of my other motherboards. The 486 board does appear to support LBA in the BIOS so …

Yeah me too -but I can't see how that would have happened as anything I plugged onto it was later tested on my Core 2 rig while I was working on the 20Gb NDD and it didn't damage that - though I can cofirm two of the IDE CDROMs are now in the trash as I couldn't boot my seatools CD with them.

Hi I formatted the 20Gb HDD (FAT 32). Then I made a bootable CD and tried the Seatools for DOS as per Phil's tutorial. And it appeared to work - see pic. But the SIS 496 still will not detect the HDD either in the BIOS or when it boots. I am really puzzled now as yesterday it did detect it (for a …

Hi bloodem Thanks for the reply. Seeing as I have the seagate 20Gb and I have other hardware that runs XP (or Win 7 for that matter) and has IDE as well as SaTA - could you elaborate a little on using Seatools to limit the 20Gb to 2Gb. Does it do that by changing the HDD BIOS or something? The …

And a few more pics. This is when it would detect the HDD. I selected (2) as it offered that as the suggested default option

OK thanks I will try that. I am actually trying to install The Orange Box on my Windows 10 PC I had another interesting thought as well regards legality. If Valve do not recognise me as the legal owner of this product does that also mean the EULA it contains does not legally apply to me either, so I …
