Yes. Make sure it's a 1.44MB floppy disk.

Another weekend: Friday: swimming lessons-ish and planning on testing the firmware BIOS I made for my CR-563-B to see if it indeed works Saturday: working on my car (exhaust needs to be patched, the clamp for the coolant hose needs to be replaced, and the fuel filter needs to be changed), and …

Try this version of Phlash: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rybnfSVbxel … 6mR6T3iB6PErD9L Also, download the original BIOS just in case: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QHJh0qAGsA9 … oLtGcCLZwYGXGFi Change the filename for the Micro Firmware to P4HS20.BIN and the original to PB450ISA.BIN

Do you have 4.03 on your system? I also suggest an EEPROM programming tool (USB) to program the BIOS chip. Select Intel P28F001BX-T DIP-32 for the chip prior to burning the BIOS onto the chip.

Try extracting the p4hs20.exe file and placing those files onto a diskette, then run install.exe. What did you flash the BIOS with previously?

Yes, you can use phlash to flash the BIOS or an EEPROM programming tool.

I ordered new capacitors on Digikey (10V 1000uF @ 10000 hrs/105C) along with the 16V 10uF SMD capacitors for the Radeon 9600XT and my VooDoo2 card that I've had for 3 years.

Made backups of a couple more laptop IDE HDDs in an image format for my HP Pavilion N3350 and working Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. Also took the liberty of firing up the old HP and it still runs (removed the domain login and changed the workgroup back to what it was) and my ThinkPad R40 laptop and it …

Removed two of the 1000uF 10v capacitors off of my Radeon 9600XT card last night. Planning on getting 16V or 25V 1000uF capacitors with a 10000 hr rating for 105C. Which ones would suit better? https://i.imgur.com/DwVK7nTm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GAuLTDmm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/s3hpaIQm.jpg Gallery …

One thing I miss about the case was the amount of hard drive mounts, and 5.25" expansion bays.

Same here. The one thing that was a huge downfall was the optical drives and the floppy drive needed the rails in order to install them properly.

Also, where can one simply find a new fan for the heatsink? On my card, it's making a rattling noise, but, it goes away after a couple of seconds. I dusted the cooling fan and the heatsink off as well. Also, would a 16V 1000uF 10000 hr@105C capacitor suffice, or is that overkill?

The nVidia cards were also a hit and miss as well (AGP), and I found the culprits: 2 blown caps and one almost spewed its guts out, so, I desoldered them off. Gallery: https://imgur.com/gallery/905DE2Y

That's the only issue: Windows won't load at all, except for safe mode with the card. I installed the Catalyst 6.2 drivers supplied by ATi and PhilsComputerLab when it was the basic video driver loaded. Is it because I'm using the wrong drivers causing the system to not load very well? I found more …

The out of range also occurs when it's turning on as well at the POST screen, boot/splash screen, and the desktop. I'm going to check my motherboard and see what's going on and/or swap the boards again to see what the heck is going on. I'm also planning on recapping the GPU as well with new caps ( …

Not yet. It could be because the RAM that's installed in my machine is EDO and not FPM, but, the same latency it supports. I'm planning on buying 16MB SIMM-72 FPM 70ns RAM and install the L2 cache. It could be possible that I have the parity portion disabled on the motherboard since the RAM that's …
