Awesome that's a really nice system. Can you use more than 128M in that system?

That's really cool. Are there any other tweaks you can do and how's the stability with the tweaks you've done so far?

It doesn't sound like a click of death problem. I have a drive with that problem and it just repeatedly clicks untill the disk or power is removed. What he is describing sounds exactly how my drives act when a disk has gone bad.

That sounds like a bad disk to me. I've had a small number of disks fail on me and that sounds about right for a bad disk.

Even with a tracking number packages still get lost or go missing and never get seen again. It's happened to me in both directions in the past. The tracking information stops getting updates and that's the end of it. Calling the shipping company rarely get you anywhere.

The only thing I can think of is the cardbus slot is providing proper 3.3 volts and the 16bit pcmcia slot isn't. But it could possibly be the 32 bit nature of the cardbus slot. Without another adapter to try it's hard to say.

I sadly can't help with the other missing parts but that b79 looks like it might be a through hole component from the front of the board. Can you get a good shot of that area from the front side?

The only thing I can think of is getting another card to keep as a spare just in case. But if the trident is filling all your needs you probably won't see any benefits to a better card unless you want to run a higher resolution then a card with more ram would help.

Those scores are good nice job on that system I bet that thing is fun to play with. I love that little system you got and I also love that style CD ROM drive it reminds me of being a kid my uncle had a high end 486 system with that drive. Good times. He still has that system and I'm hoping one day …

I'm wondering if it could be just as cards aren't fully ide compatible like CF cards and that's causing your issue or maybe there might be something up with your ad to cf adapters

Does the same thing happen if you use a CF card to transfer files or just SD cards.

That's a good question. I know we had that game at home as well and it was fun.
