Funny. There is a difference between IBM RPL and Novell RPL I read. So be careful. Im using pxelinux at the moment with other devices. Would be best if you could simply add Novell RPL as Option there

Get turned IC socket and remove the pins using heat and push them out to create 4 pin socket for the oscillator. Cheers, Great idea. If I understand you correctly I should solder a socket in instead of the Quarz directly. Great idea this helps exchanging them / switch back to 60 or the original …

Hello again, I found an adequate Quarz oscillator - even with 60MHz. Now the issue: the Quarz is soldered that close to existing lanes that I doubt it’s being replaceable manually. At least when having a look on the back of the MB. Not even 1mm is between the solderpoints and neighboured lanes. Any …

Hello all, I remember how mad i went back in the days when Sierra‘s latest games did require Dos4gw meaning nothing more than - slow performance and - 4mb RAM minimum On my 386sx having 2mb only. So I was looking around as heck to be able to effort 2 additional mb of ram. I found here in an old …

Hi there, I own attached card which I want to use to boot via diskless boot. Since the rom states netware bios i assume it only offers Novell RPL Boot. Thus no chance for pxelinux. Question: any clue on how to setup a remote boot service (dos image) with above remote boot Protocol? Thank you all …

Thanks a lot, I wonder what that mt-32 emulation is about.... can you tell me more about it? Is it a mt32 kind of sw synth or a "real-time" midi mapping prog? When will it be available?
