I would guess it's a 486SX 33 or 486DX 33 as well. No idea beyond that, no idea what Acer made.

Re: Where to buy AT io shields for ATX cases?
Posted on 2020-10-03, 17:42
I just order blank shields from Russia via ebay. Simple enough to bore/cut out the holes you need in the proper dimensions, but the only hard part would be doing the fine cutting required to add grounding tabs, if you care to do that at all. If I was going to have other uses for that size drill bit …

I messaged him earlier today in the CPU-World forums and got a reply reasonably quickly. He is more active there than here. If anyone needs to contact him, I recommend joining there, if you haven't already. He posts every few weeks there about his latest work, mostly the Universal Chip Analyser that …

The graphics card was first released in 2002, and socket 478 the same year. They are not high end for the platform though, so I would guess not. I'm no gaming expert though 😀

I couldn't afford one at the time of the kickstarter, but am hoping more will be available soon. I will be buying some new AT PSUs soon though, so may not need it.

Plugged in a 1TB drive yesterday, and the PC wouldn't boot. I put it on the scrap pile. Decided to plug it into the running PC a couple of hours ago, and it was recognised by Windows. So I checked the drive - it had a single NTFS partition. So I decided to wipe the partition table with diskpart, and …
Re: Alltronics has vintage computer parts cheap:
Posted on 2020-09-30, 19:43
Lol! Alltronics has a product called "Bad Mother". Select the item and get a random 386 to Socket 7 motherboard for $20 that may or may not be functional. I might have called it "Motherboard Roulette", but both names have their charms. I saw this and thought about buying the 5 they do have.. could …

Looks like they have parts like resistors and capacitors a few times cheaper than mouser. Looks like I'll be putting in an international order soon for some motherboard and graphics card repairs 😀

Thanks everyone. kaputnik is printing a few for me at a very favourable price, so I am sorted now.

No customs fees yet, that will start after the end of this year 🙁 £15 is a fair price, I'd expect a higher cost anywhere else. Thanks. I'll message you.

Well, didn't plan to go commercial, but as mentioned earlier, could of course print a few shields here and there for fellow vogoners at self cost + shipping from Sweden to wherever you are :) If you see this and are still willing to print some at cost plus shipping, I could use 5 for AT boards with …

I had no idea I could get one printed. Following @aha2940's comments, is there a preferred type of plastic I should aim for that most printers should have? I know nothing about 3D printers 😀 I'll try to find the post you mentioned.

Where to buy AT io shields for ATX cases?
Posted on 2020-09-28, 21:48
Some of my older retro build with AT and similar layouts are going to be built in low cost ATX cases, simply because of lack of availability of suitable AT cases. Can anyone direct me to a source of AT io shields? My house gets so dusty that a big air gap at the rear of the cases will lead to large …
Re: turbo button speed
Posted on 2020-09-28, 20:01
The Turbo button was originally added to reduce the CPU speed for faster 808x chips that some software couldn't handle. There was never s standard for how it would act on faster processors, it was only ever documented (rather counter intuitively) as slowing the CPU.
