I've just noticed (like.. 25 years later...) that the card has an empty "SPRK IN" header. Has anyone tried to enable it ? (solder the proper hardware on RP17, C86, R27 and the jumper pins on 1)

I'm curious as to which computer eras people typically collect and/or use. I'm a retro-gamer... Mostly played consoles... Got my first Console at 3 years old (Atari 2600 in 1983) and have kept / reacquired most of the original stuff I had over the years + consoles I never had but wanted to try... …

One of the first upgrades I've got on my K6-2 back in like... 99 ? was the Diamond Viper V770 Ultra (which I paired with the Monster 3D to keep Glide compatibility). The card was awesome... but now the fan doesn't work anymore so I've removed it... and need to find a replacement. I've also had a V4 …

Back in 1997, my last year of high school, my mom finally got us a "family computer" that I had in my room... Pentium 150, 16mb EDO, 1.2Gb Fujitsu HDD, 33.6 ISA Modem, Opti931 ISA audio card, S3 Trio64V2/DX PCI video card. I've added a Diamond Monster 3D and 32mb of ram in it before deciding (and …
