Can you remember the form factor of your board, which I assume is either AT or baby AT? I've never seen a P90 that can't OC to 100... Are you sure it's not a remark from P75? 😁

Use them in period correct retro builds. 8.4GB and less are perfect for DOS systems, as they match the maximum formatted partition space. If you have room, just store them until you have a use for one. If you have SpinRite or some other method of maintenance/recertification, run them all through …

If you can't find a use for them and you don't want to sell them, then your only options are to trash them completely or keep them forever. Not sure what you were expecting..? If you don't like eBay, then you can try your local online classifieds (Craigslist or Kijiji or whatever it is you have). I …

You’re right, let me say a bit more about what I thought was old news by now. Quantum was using some Philips chip on their boards, which was recalled and replaced by a new version. At that time Quantum took a decision which defined its future: they did sell the already manufactured HDDs knowing …

These are all 3.5 inch drives from 250MB to 40GB. Most of them are IDE and the others are SCSI. I can't find good use for them and I am hesitant about selling them on ebay because I am too lazy to test them before spending efforts on making listings and the petty profits collected from strangers …
Re: I recently found this hardware, AKA the Dumpster find thread.

These are not recent finds... I found them years ago in the dumpster. The left one is a whopping 9.1GB SCSI drive and tested all green by HDTune. The middle one is a weeny 20MB MFM drive and I reckon the port is ST-506. It came with the board on the right side, which I guessed an ST-506 to SCSI …

Thanks! If that works, I gain K6-III+ support too. I've never flashed an OEM board with a non-OEM BIOS. Are you aware of any concerns? I previously had two P5S-VM OEMed for HP, with revisions 1.01 and 2.02, respectively. I flashed both of them with patched BIOS from http://compatlist.k6plus.com/ …
