Drove an hour each way to get this stuff from a facebook ad for $50. Sorry no pics for this quick post I could be coaxed to share some if someone is interested. - Number Nine Revolution IV T2R4 PCI 32mb with interesting Zalman heat sink - SGI 1600SW digital flat panel (N9 card has connector for this …

I have been waiting a while to find a thread about this Everex sound card. I have one, mine is a Rev D but otherwise looks the same (a few different chip vendors). Searched quite a biit, never have found dedicated drivers. The OP got it going fully in DOS, including the onboard wavetable? Using …

I have this controller in my 486-100 system. Working fine controlling one 2GB hard drive and an IDE ZIP drive. I also have the original manual for it, "Promise DC4030VL-2 VL-Bus IDE Disk Accelerator"). In my system, both drives on the Promise controller are input to the system BIOS setup Type 47 …

Well, I will have to learn a bit about how to mod this type of bios (or any bios for that matter), but it does sound like the proper solution. Thanks for the suggestion. If anyone knows of some good information that I could study to figure out how to do this, I would appreciate that.

I tried CTU, it does not have an option to disable L3. There a couple additional slow down settings which allowed me to get a bit slower that setmul, still in the range of a 486-33. I still would like a way to disable the L3, this is otherwise a pretty nice rig,

I recently picked up a Compaq Presario 5240 (K6-2/400) and upgraded it with a K6-2+/570. One problem I am having is that the bios does not have a setting to disable the onboard cache which is acting as L3 with the K6-2+. This prevents slowing down the cpu below 486 speed with setmul. The chipset is …

Well you are most correct. My K8T-Neo with A64-3200+, FX5900 and bios v3.31a is scoring 12207 on 3DMark2001 and 9640 in 3DMark2000 default benchmarks (win98se). Seems like Neo should be similar to Neo-V but apparently not.

I am interested in this thread as I have a system in my arsenal which is almost identical to the OP's. K8T-Neo/A64-3400+/FX5900/ESS Solo1 which I use for Win98 and DOS. I do not remember any under performance in Win98, certainly it is faster than my AthlonXP/Geforce4 rig. I will take a look at bios …

I will shout out for abit sm5-a. This one is in my Socket 7 PC which I purchased new myself in about 1996. Still using it today now it is retro. I used it originally with a K5-133 now using a 233MMX at 266. The cpu soft menu is nice for adjusting fsb and mult from bios.

Please let us know how the G450 performs relative to the G200 I have considered trying that myself in my P233MMX. With your G200, are you using the updated opengl ICD extracted from the G400 driver? In my system, glquake performs similarly between voodoo1 and g200.

In my P233MMX I am using a G200 and a voodoo1. Used to use an S3 Virge for 2D in that system but wanted improved image quality which the G200 delivered. My voodoo1, diamond monster 3d, cost me $75 in 2021 but I had to wait a while to get that price. Also purchased a pci voodoo3 for $90 in 2021 again …

On the 486SH motherboard, the cpu I installed to upgrade from 486sx33 was actually a 486dx2odpr66, 5V cpu with a heat sink I think it is more or less the same as a regular DX2-66. I had to change a couple of jumpers for cpu type to got from sx to dx, left the speed jumpers unchanged. The stason.org …

KB insTalled, haha you got me there. Regarding that case I actually switched this rig into a different newer looking AT case and put a 386 in the older one, I thought that looked more appropriate. Cases matter to me quite a bit.

Replying to Megantonneke's recent post, I also found a system very recently with the AIR 486SH motherboard. It came in a case I wanted and was listed as a non working system and a decent price. It turns out that once I removed and reinstalled the ram, the system worked fine. Came with a 486sx33, …

Here are the contents of the (3) ATI Mach32 disks. I also have disks for the Diamond SPeedstar Pro, Paradise Super VGA and STB Horizon if those are of interest.

Sure I would be happy to share these old driver disks, there are various others in this batch of items. Is the process to follow documented here somewhere?

I recently responded to a local sale ad for 6 banker's boxes of PC parts. I saw this listing a few times, there was only one picture and it showed one box overflowing with a mix of beige and black faced optical drives. It was originally $50 then I noticed it reduced to $20. Then I saw the name on …
