When my friend gave me his old IBM Model 30 months ago, he also gave me this monitor, the Gateway VX720 - Diamondtron NF. I just cleaned it up and fired it up tonight for first time and it works like A charm. Just pondering what specs are on this? Doesn't seem to be much out there. I know its …

I am dumb so please forgive. But what kind of effort, if possible, would it ever be to get the CH375 alternative chipset for a new ISA card to interface with an external USB CD/DVD drive or even USB Floppy drives, along with thumb drives? I only ask because I have the IBM Model 30 system and an old …

How does one become A chosen one to get one of these 😀

Well I was to dumb for this myself, but luckly smarter people exist 😀 Worked with Peter Basset and he was able to quickly pump this out! So now I run this and his PS2XT2SD in my Model 30 - 8086 and both are working great. Hopefully he will have these "3+1" risers for sale soon.

This would be nice to replace some things on my Model 30 8086 system. Using the lotech 2mb EMS card and XIRCOM LPT network adapter. I waaaaant 😀

Sorry this is a revisit of an older post I made recently... but I think now this is a bit more direct, now that I have something in my hand. No other MFG I talked to would help me out that were recommended in the old post. Sooo...... I am working with an IBM Model 30 8086 system. Which has the 3 …

Greetings... I have the IBM Model 30 - 8086 model. I flashed myself new BIOS chips. 33F4498 / 33F4499 - 01/31/89 This part works fine. All is good. I can combine the two files, make my edit, and split them back apart. Only part I can't seem to find anywhere (maybe my google box skills are broke) is …

I guess first would be Ti-99 4/A My dad bought one in 79 ... I was born in 80. Used it alot up until maybe 88 or 89... when it kinda lost its usefulness I guess. I have it still in my home office closet. Then PC wise, it was A Leading Edge 8088 / 20mb system... I used this system at times well into …

Worth a read ... https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=41599 That is one of the posts I read. In the later pages, some good info it seems on some mostly pre-made stuff but links where dead. The ISA slot extension and cable parts, I think would get me starter? 16bit ISA, but I can leave that …

First of all, came across a few posts about adding extra ISA slots. Problem I had was links where dead in most of if not all of them. I have an IBM Model 30 - 8086, that I would love to add a few for more slots. Mostly for things that don't need access outside of the case. Such as the LoTech EMS …

look up VESA or VGA " feature connector " for more info. Ugh... I swear I used the Google Machine... I think my case I narrowed it down to "8900D feature connector" which doesn't really show much. So close... I guess question lays at... has anyone here... been able to make their own "feature" to …

I have the ISA Trident 8900D. Common card. Like a lot of video cards it seems of this era, they had some kind of expansion port, such as these and the 26 pin port deal at top. Was this ever used for anything? The magic 8 ball seems to say Outlook not so good.... So if not. What COULD it be used for? …
