Re: 486 pc questions.

Just coming back to drop this one: Sure, AFTER you know what to look for it's pretty obvious. Just posting a link to Wikipedia with no explanation didn't help anyone that didn't know what to look for. (As evidenced by the way the conversation went afterwords.) . Yeah, because reading (comprehension) …

Re: Socket A with ISA soundcard problems

I'm pretty sure resource assignments for PCI devices are deterministic when the list of devices is constant. Even if you wipe CMOS, they just go back and grab the same way they did before. Some motherboard manuals even list which resources will be assigned to each slot, so if you have the manual it …

Re: 486 pc questions.

I thought you could see in the pictures that there were 2 isa cards, video card and the I/O card and you could also see the model number of I/O card in the pictures. I just changed the lithium battery in the battery holder that was wrapped with tape and I also tried 2 different floppy cables and …

Re: 486 pc questions.

Yeah, I always changed the FDD types in bios when I changed drives while I was testing. The bios looks like it is specific to …

Re: 486 pc questions.

After bit of testing the computer seems to work except couple of things. When I set the year to 2018 in bios, the next time I go to bios it is changed to 1998, which I assume means that it only knows years from 1980 to 1999? Year 2K issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem Also, your …

Re: Surprisingly demanding old 3D games

Also, the MMX version of Virtual On: Cyber Troopers needs some serious CPU power. This game has a hidden 60 fps mode. I don't really blame Sega for hiding it; no 1997 machine even comes close to 60. To play in high res mode and sustain 60 through even the most demanding scenes, you need a 1GHz+ P3. …
