- Serious AGP slot diagnostic card, ideally with a display - SATA controller VLB or ISA as silly as it may sound - SAS controller for PCI (not that silly but it seems that none exist) - ASUS 5V to 3.3V PCI power card replica (see here)

I had a stack of NOS vintage AT backplates from the PPro haul. Most of them were given out to Vogons members years back. For reference, these are what originals look like which have the grounding tabs. These are very nice. I got a few of these some years back, they're basically just blanks with a …

Hello. I found this socket 7 board without any RAM or CPU. A sticker on the case indicates it originally came with a 100MHz Pentium. A sticker on the lowest ISA slot indicates 1995 manufacture date. The blue + white sticker near the cache has a pufferfish, which might indicate the manufacturer. …

Here's a few motherboards I didn't particularly like. I got them as brand new. Can't really tell which I rate as the most shitty, but back then I was really angry about the FIC not able to work with some better (more performant) AGP cards. Chaintech 5TLM (Soc. 7) - unstable, randomly crashing after …

Ok, I dumped both ROM chips of the first one, see the attached zip file. The ROM chips are Microchip 27C256.

I have these two Mach32 ISA cards, apparently they're not the exact same type as yours. But one of them seems to use DRAM. I suppose I can dump the bios from either of these using TL866II. Would that help you?

I had no idea about all that, I believed all the time that Cyrix 120 beats Pentium 83 easily. Thanks for clarification. Anyway I did some changes. I replaced memory sticks, cleared CMOS, revised BIOS settings, disabled unnecessary stuff + removed some drivers. This gave me 14.5 FPS in Quake timedemo …

I've been testing this new Cyrix 5x86-120GP CPU that I obtained recently. I decided to put it into AB-PB4 rev 1.3 together with some EDO RAM and PCI VGA. However the performance is worse than I could expect. Specs: - Abit AB-PB4, 256k cache - ARK2000PV PCI VGA - Voodoo 2 PCI accelerator - 32MB EDO …

Hi mpe, I recently obtained the same board. It has some minor differences but I guess it's more or less the same. Do you happen to have a better manual for the board than the stason's or win3x.org? There are jumpers marked W4, W5, W6, W20, W21, W22 and I'd like to know what are they for. I guess …
