MU2000 from Japan. I can't find a voltage transformer for the 100V so I'm just gonna buy another 12V 2A psu. Honestly a better bet anyway even if the OG PSU was universal. A brand new PSU will be smaller, lighter, quieter, more energy efficient and less likely to blow up on you. Same reason I …

What is best way to get Quake to have better frame rate, not the hard ware listed here for "PCI graphics round up - dos"?

SCSI drives are heavy and noisy, I don't see the practical (!) benefit in retro PCs. All the stuff you are going to do on these old computers will be random access, you will almost never do stuff that will achieve linear reads and high troughput

wouldn't that be fascinating to try it out on a VIA chipset with Vlink bus (266MB/s)?
