I do not know how to fully setup this thing but I can get it to do what I need. I have not figured out how it connects turbo to motherboard. I am running another set of wires off of the turbo switch. V+ V- (5-Volts Power) S (Unused) T- T+ (Turbo LED) +6S (Unused) P- P+ (Power LED) KEY (Second set of …

Google search finally got me this. This is probably how it is programmed. (Vogon's search doesn't work too well for me) From this thread https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=46110 I've seen some "programmable" MHz displays where you held the reset button down for a few seconds and the number …

Thanks, it's a start. Do you think the +5V comes from the 'Reset" switch header connected to the motherboard? Maybe the jumper has something to do with programming it.

I have no idea what to do. There are no jumpers and it seems like some front panel LEDs and such hook directly too it. I should have taken pictures before I realized they probably weren't just jammed on there for no reason. The switches are odd too, like the reset button has two sets of wires. One …

I can say after using LOTS of video cards in XP that the best combination of performance and compatibility for me has been the GTX 285. Runs cooler and faster than GTX 280, doesn't have SLI incompatibilities with some games like the GTX 295, good driver support, etc. It also seems that Nvidia has …

Found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spOenlrSSOE It was a good bit of information for me since I know nothing about it. Maybe others will find it useful.

I found a case I like that I had laying around and I will try to get it cleaned up soon. It is missing the metal plate that the power switch attaches to but I found one (included AT switch, I have an ATX switch on hand) on eBay for less than $8.00 with free shipping, I didn't feel like fabricating …

I run my MMX233 underclocked at 133Mhz and 2.5v, simply because Mortal Kombat has less sound issues with 133Mhz and probably other games too. I really don't see any difference in FPS in Quake and Cramageddon between 233 and 133. BTW, disabling L1 cache on an MMX will get you very close to 486 DX2 …

I found a Unicorn! Sound Blaster 16 CT2940 with OPL3. I don't care If I ever use it but at least now I have one and it only cost me $12.00 including shipping. Crappy picture but it looks like I will have a few IDE pins to straighten out. Filename s-l1600 (7).jpg File size 235.06 KiB Views 1640 …

Melbar, It is standard Socket 7. I was trying to say that I'm currently fed up with Super Socket 7 and so, I am building a standard Socket 7.

Well I'm kinda fed up with some of the Super Socket 7 stuff for now so, how about a standard Socket 7... I dug through a lot of stuff and found this. A bit of Googling and I think it is a Shuttle Hot 569 ver. 1.2 TX motherboard. at-mb.jpg What do you think? Pentium 233MMX, 64MB RAM, some video card …
