Saw that earlier but wasn't sure if it was the actual source. That awesome. But yes it would take someone who knows a good deal of FPGA to implement. I would dive in right now but I'm having to save for a cross country move so fun ds are starting to tighten up. Also w hy my overkill 98 build is a …

The issue is. Well is there an FPGA powerful enough to do those API calls and calculations? I'm not familiar enough to know. Mean I do know you can manage to runs older systems like amiga with one. Also is 3dfx glide even open source? Seems there might be some legality issues to consider with all of …

So you can r un a voodoo card along with an average gpu? I was wondering and probably look into nabbing a card. Though I almost wonder if it would be possible to build a 3dfx card from a fpga? Heck would be neat if it was possible to build a gpu that's roughly late 90s era that could do dx, ogl, and …

As far as I recall especially for early 3D hardware accelerated games you pretty much HAVE to have the hardware they were designed for There are few exceptions like DOS Glide games for Voodoo 1, but most will run better on Voodoo 2 or even Voodoo 3. Other obscure proprietary stuff usually don't …

Ooofta, well that is a lot but again would like to nab one if I can possibly. I'll just have to see how things play out.

So after talking about SCSI solutions. I ended up starting to purchase parts for a new retro build. It'll be based around a socket 462 Athlon XP 3200+, 1.5gigs of ram, matching mobo with isa. Issue is since I have to buy parts to build a new system. I'm stumped as to what gpu to go with. The board …

Oh man I was just looking at Awe 64 golds on Ebay for my overkill 98 build. I am so wanting to jump onto ordering this new clone as ebay prices stink. I will be keeping an eye here for when we can purchase! Just a heads up, this is likely to be much more expensive than a Gold on eBay, even with the …

Same honestly. Not to mention the horrible performance from being used so much. It's why I tend to swap in at least a newer drive if not the SD card solutions.

Mean you can use a modern psu with retro gear. There's adapters for older AT boards. Plus I'm going to use a SD to IDE apter for storage. Finally yes I don't like CRTs. The noise the gave off and the eye strain UH. I stick to LCD as much as I Can.

Well another thought is corrupted or a bad bios. If that is the case as was with my first pc. It's not an easy fix. You would need to be able to flash or replace the bios rom.

Oh I'm guessing you think these are hard drives. Nope it's more exotic stuff! course good old zip drives. But also JAZZ, ORB, and a Bernoulli drive. I don't have an SCSI HDDs laying around. Even when I had my old systems it was IDE.

Silly idea but try a cmos fresh battery. The other thought is does the problematic board have any bad capacitors?

Makes it sound like it's easier just to build a scsi solution with an older computer then try and get scsi devices to work with modern stuff. As for data recovery. That's not as important right now as most of this stuff is for fun.

Hey all, I had a bunch of old computer equipment for a while but ended up getting rid of most of it. I decided to keep my I-lamp and some scsi drives assuming I could get a solution to use ether with a modern machine or the I-lamp. Well I ended up hitting a few snags when I went to find a solution …
