That's pretty cool to see a similar board in a home desktop case. I say similar because this one in Germany shows to have an SiS 530/5595 chipset, 1 less PCI slot, and 1 less ISA slot. I did get the chance to turn mine on and run an old live cd on it. It definitely has a 440BX chipset, and is using …

I happen to have been looking for something to mount floppies too, and I must say I think it's very odd-ball for Windows 9x to not have an easily obtainable software that does this. There's Alcohol 120% that mounts CDs, and there's Daemon Tools too, but I definitely did not hear about mounting …

Interesting that you mention this. I did kinda mess things up with what I pulled, and I separated most hard drives from their original servers, so I have no clue now whether there was anything special installed on the original hard drive for this specific motherboard. This motherboard isn't even in …

My biggest giveaway for Chaintechs of this era is the dotted pattern throughout the board. That, and in certain cases, the strange header used for USB on some of their socket 7 mobos. Oops, I'm now realizing you probably were talking about the dots all over the board, and not the dotted lines on …

Oh thats really interesting! Thanks on the confirmation and that revision number as well! I definitely have never had a chance to look at a motherboard from that era in person before this one, so this is definitely great to know that this is indeed a Chaintech product. I did look for a specific " …

Okay, so I looked at the Chaintech and Matsonic websites in the 90s. They both are from Taipei, but at the same time, Chaintech claimed on having a large distribution network around the world back then. I also saw their "factory tour" of pictures, kinda interesting to see : https://web.archive.org/ …

Okay, I really thought another vendor distributed this particular "clone". The Chaintech and Matsonic motherboards in the links are printed with "Chaintech" and "Matsonic" on them right next to the big AGP print, but mine isn't labeled any company anywhere. Does the KE7942-3 Ver. 2.0 ring a bell to …

The company I work for has been holding onto all these late 1990s-2000s era servers in 4U cases since I started working there, and I have been asking about looking inside them over the years only to be declined each time (which I think is pretty crappy given that I'm part of a tiny tech crew of 3 …

I just joined today, and I'm not finding the "intro" topic, so I guess I'll do my first post here :) I recently got a hold of 2 dual P3 server boxes and installed MS-DOS on one of them and spent alot of time on DOS over the past couple of months lol, I just signed up for the wiki so I can add a few …
