1. No, i know no CPU with 1.5 Multipler on Socket 3. (Maybe Pentium Overdrive ???) 2. get a Industrial 3.3V DX2 66 16BGC and it will overclock up to 4x33 and more 😀 It depends on the 486DX2 CPU.. some may work, some will run unstable.. but best Overclockers are 3.3V Parts.

I am not a fan of Apple in general, but moving to ARM would make sense for them and likely their users. Maybe we'll stop hearing about overheating/throttling high-end MACs . The environmenal aspect is a significant one as well, not to mention the cost of electricity. not only that, intel has …

There are Industrial PCI to ISA Adapter Cards with PCI to ISA Bridge on it where you connect a ISA Backplane. I have one somewhere. But its not really compatible with much Stuff. Best bet is to use a Compatible Machine instead of making incompatible Stuff less incompatible 😁

You would need a PCI ISA Bridge Chip https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/217/W83628F.php At least everything with Memory Mapped IO should do able.. Fun begins when your Cards need DMA Support. There also Chips for PCI to 8Bit Style Bus.. but anyway youre going to need a TSR to …

This 3dmark Score is Really Low for a TNT1. Seems you run too new driver. I can Even Play ut2003 on it... And one of the cards is clearly defective. Look at the capacitors.

yes why not ? it works also with Windows 10. But only in 1200 Baud unless someone comes up with a patched Serial Mouse Driver for it.

Yes Stencil and PCBs are from Aisler and excellent quality. Now its time to try some assembly service, i guess 😀 The best is 19200 Baud Mode is working stable so i have excellent tracking speed even at 1280x1024 operating on KVM.

i just hocked them up for testing on the 12V Line, and it worked afterwards. So there now 2 10uf. i think the 100nf alone will suffice 😀 Yeah of course but sockets with integrated capacitors are three times the price 😀
