Just a quick update on some changes I made to my Retro Rig. First, I replaced the existing Intel SE440BX motherboard with an ASUS P2B-F board, that I then flashed with the 1014 Beta 003 BIOS. I replaced the Intel board because my version doesn't support anything faster than 450Mhz and secondly, it …

Hello, I've enjoyed reading about this 486 build. I have found memories of my own 486 back in the early 90's as the first PC I bought myself. Did a lot and learned a lot on that machine. But I'll be following this thread as I'm looking forward to seeing how your proposed tv style case turns out! …

My board does have the newer …

@TuesdayGone: What kind of BASIC is Blitz BASIC? Blitz was originally developed for Amiga OS and eventually to 32 bit Windows. There were several flavors Blitz Basic, Blitz Plus and BlitzMax before being discontinued. It was a pretty good version of BASIC geared toward Windows game development. …
