Forgot to post about this little system I got last week. Truth be told, I bought it mainly for the case, and most of this system will likely be re-built into different systems (with this case likely housing a 486 if repairs on my LS-486E go well), but it's a nice set of hardware regardless. Using …

Just to note that HWI build 21.4. 10:31 started to work bad on my i7, when getting Motherboard Info just empty window displays and system freeze. Even more strange I heard my HDD spinning down and after reboot I got CMOS checksum error. So you definitely play bad with some I/O registers resulting …

My Tulip AT Compact(s) (NEAT chipset 286) 3 is/are proving to be a nice project. I own two of these systems, both with their own problems. I decided to combine them into one. One mainboard is 'dead', it does not POST. The other seemed to be okay, but some tantals exploded when powering it up (I …

How do I get into the BIOS of one of these? It's very similar to the other Everex 286 I got (it's this one) https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/E/EVEREX-SYSTEMS-INC-286-1800R-286-8-EV-1800.html but this one doesn't seem to have a BIOS I can get into. https://i.imgur.com/TtUS9Bz.jpg https://i. …

[...] Happy to see that board went to a fellow Vogon-er. I also considered a bid but decided I have enough projects for now :) I hope you can fix the memory slot(s). Maybe a transplant from bank 1? The seller told me the ISA slot accepts cards (they still fit in the slot), but it does look bent a …

Bought and received this board a few days ago, forgot to post about it. It's an Austin Computer Systems 33VL 386DX board, that I got for €25. Very good price, but it does have some work cut out for me. It's clearly been stored in a box full of other things or something like that, given it's fairly …

Mumak> Are you able to keep the original post updated for which specific hardware configurations (CPUs, graphics, etc) you still would like tested? This will allow newcomers to help out without having to read the whole thread in detail. I assume you maintain a database of test results, so you will …

How high is the CPU load during transfers? Do you have DMA enabled for the HDD?

I bought this board, for my SixyClone project. It is cheaper to buy a complete board for parts, than it is to buy every connectors seperately.Especially the cartridge connector is really hard to come by, and the shield over the connector is impossible to source anywere these days. Yup... Going to …

Thanks for the feedback. Can you please try to disable the "Check Keyboard Controller and Super IO" option in Setup menu if that will help? Yes, that helps. Still can't generate a report, I don't think it saves the config? Let me know if I can try more. You will need to also hit the "Save setting …
