Hello, I've just received a Transcend 32Gb Industrial CF170 card and it hangs the BIOS at boot when it tries to autodetect it. The Compact Flash adapter is a StarTech 35BAYCF2IDE and the system is an ASRock K7VT4A PRO with an AMI BIOS (fully updated). I have been using a SanDisk Extreme 32Gb for …

Setting up PC-DOS 7.1 on a FAT32/LBA drive can be much easier than I originally thought. Just that the FDISK32 command may not be easy to use, since it's not interactive like the ones from FreeDOS or MS-DOS, so you must manually specify what you want to do as arguments. The ability to align …

I have PC-DOS 7.1 (base PC-DOS 2000 + IBM ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit updates) installed on one of my PCs. However the boot drive for the OS is a FAT16 2GB CompactFlash card and I use the FAT32 functionality to access a second 80GB HDD. I had PC-DOS 2000 already installed on the 2GB CF card. It …

I you want a silent Athlon XP rig, try to find a Geode NX 1750 CPU, which is a Athlon XP 1600+ low voltage. I run mine on the same Asrock K7VT4A Pro. Vincent That's an interresting idea. I have an ALIX 2D3 mini server with a Geode LX800 CPU. It doesn't come with a fan or even a heatsink. Is it the …

And you can see on pic. 18 that all 6 capacitors in the CPU VRM section (the ones in line besides the CPU socket) are defective. (The 3 green Samsung/Samxon in front of them are peobably still o.k.) I would also replace the one right besides the ATX PSU connector since it´s the same model as the …

Thank you for your answers. For some reason I thought that my Seasonic S12-II was 350w but it turns out it is 430 watts. A simulation of the power required by all components of this system came up with 330 watts but I suspect the hardware RAID card may draw more power than your average fake RAID add …

Hello, I am trying to build an Athlon XP system that is as silent as possible. I recently bought a new EPoX EP-8RDA3I motherboard because the ASRock K7VT4A Pro that I bought in the early 2000s does not have a 12 volt connector and therefore requires a PSU with a 30+ amp 5 volt rail to work with …
