Guys what could I put in that empty rack? Would a multicard reader be a viable option? I guess not because of connections. So only option would be another floppy drive? http://imageshack.us/a/img854/4859/cimg5404.jpg A ZIP drive? That could be an option yes, but I'm not much fond of zip drives.
XTIDE BIOS

Hello people. I want to weld a 27C64 EPROM with the Xtide Universal Bios on it. Would it be possible to do that in this NIC card? I'm reading all the documentation at the official web to follow the right steps.

Ok, another important info. The Ram did work and one point. So it does support a single 32mb SIMM. In case the RAM is broken, could I buy EDO SIMM or does it have to be FP? You could try scrubbing the contacts with a cotton bud/Q-tip dipped in isopropyl (aka rubbing alcohol). If you replace the RAM …

SIMM Ram not detected
Posted on 2013-03-03, 14:53
Hello guys, I'm having some problems with a 486 detecting 32mb of SIMM Ram 72pin. I don't know if the memory itself is faulty, apparently not, but I'm not 100% sure. So, assuming that is not a hardware problem, what could it be? I made some pictures of system startup, Bios and the SIMM Ram itself. …

Re: Why SCSI?
Posted on 2013-02-28, 21:21
One of my reasons is that it was quite expensive back in the days and not everyone could afford it, so for me it is all about having something I didn't back in the 90s. Extra benefits of increased speed and lower CPU load is great. SCSI controllers often allow bigger sized harddrives compared to …
Why SCSI?
Posted on 2013-02-28, 20:31
I read that many of you guys use SCSI in their 386's, 486's. But why? Is there such a big difference between regular IDE and SCSI? Some claim that it doesn't free up so much CPU, and that they are actually quite noisy. So, what is the main advantage to SCSI over IDE?

You'll play all the dooms, duke + blood + shadow warrior in 320x240, the first C&C and red alert ... I'm building my 486s for those too ;) Descent might be too slow. I played it on a DX2-80, but that was before knowing the 60FPS 3D accelerated games :p I'm just happy with that! Those are the few " …

Will see how good the YMF-719 sounds! When the computer arrives I will have a SB16 to compare it with. Don't know the model though.
