Having both in hand, I am thinking of going with the Socket 370. The faster chipset looks pretty nice to me. Aside from that, I lost an hour or two on the Aopen while setting it up. Unresponsive system at first, thought it was a bum motherboard. Turned out the socket was just being finnicky--I …

Awesome feedback, thanks so much all! So much more to chew on, so I'm still far from being able to make a decision. But it gives me more data so I'm closer than before. I do like the idea of a Slot 1 for its unique place and its flexibility but then again the A revision of the chipset is probably a …

Hi All, looking for advice and anecdotes! My retro journey has taken me to a dark and confusing place lately. I am nostalgic most for the Pentium - Pentium MMX era, but just like back in the day, I find myself wanting to play a wider range of games and, long story short, I have 2 motherboards on the …

Hey bit of a bump here. I recently acquired a Gateway 2000 with the same board (133 Pentium seems to be the only difference). I attempted to install both the 3.28 (properly .br0t) and the 3.30 found here: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/intel-advanced-ze-zappa-e#bios but have run into a show- …

Hey all, thanks for talking about this. I made a post about the same exact issue last night and your comments here really helped me. Cross-linking for reference: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=98613&p=1231094#p1231094 Thanks again! (Auto-adjust was the ticket to lock in the phase and …

More and more machines with this exact glitch https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=98471 Wonder what is the common factor. What monitor are you using? can you try with another one? Do you happen to have an oscilloscope? No oscilloscope handy where I am. Using an LCD LED just as in the post …

Got lucky on a Voodoo Banshee fine and love the card way more than I thought I would; fits perfectly in my mid-late 90s K6-2 build. Performs well with no artifacting or other glitches with the exception of the following. Depending on the resolution and frame rate, there is some subtle but annoying …

You have those steps right: 1. fdisk then 2. format each partition. Modern Windows can handle that space for you but older Windows and I guess OS/2 need you to do it yourself from command line. Yeah it could be that the rest of the space is just sitting there free and the utility wants to do …

Ouch, that shipping situation sounds rough...sorry to hear about the monitor. Lucky that the PC itself survived. Well, as if anything short of a nuclear explosion could harm anything inside that massive case. Hm, if it's the original IBS recovery software, it was probably made in 1995-96 or earlier, …

Ah, so it does work--nice! I'm on Win95 OSR2 so I can go over 8GB, but with dos 6.22 and win 3.1 I think you'll have to keep it partitioned in some fashion. Gotta love the PC350...great looking old box.

I have a PC 350 (P166) as well and have been playing around with hard drives (actually compact flash drives via IDE adapter) lately. All good with 4GB but when I put a 16GB in there the BIOS spazzed out and threw setup errors at startup. The strange part about it is that the BIOS did see the drive …
