I'm clumsy to electronics true. But i've learned that it's of the utmost importance to replace capacitors with the same ratings. Not only voltage but also uF values. For instance when i had to replace caps on one of my motherboards, i got exactly equal rating caps, and then chose high quality ones. …

I think it's normal, since there are no PCI cards that use IRQs the bios just reports "None" What if you turn on the option "ASSIGN IRQ FOR VGA" ? will it use one? I don't see that option in the BIOS keropi. I tried setting up manually. It reports at start up, that Slot 3 is IRQ 10, the rest appear …

I've Got a 486 DX2 66mhz. I almost got into the "a-computer-for-each-era" madness but stopped myself at time. I preferred sacrificing some games in order to have just one computer (for the time being...hahaha) What's wrong with "three-computer-for-each-era", they dont cost that much, need just a …

Pingaloka, that is one very fine looking piece of vintage machinery you've got there. You are definately not colour blind. One day I should get around to re-whittening my 486 cases. Thanx feipoa, is actually not as white as in the picture. I'm also thinking of going throught the process of making …

Ok, just got the last board for 20 euro. A decent price I think. Didn't want to risk with the other ones. Never had a VLB, maybe in a future. I just see PCI being a bit more practical when it comes to Graphic Cards.
