Unless I'm looking at the wrong manual, that one shows dip switches for setting VC, which I don't have on my board. It also shows both 72-pin and 128-pin memory slots while my board only has 72-pin. There seems to be numerous versions of PR5, mine is an R2 rev 2.41. Edit: Thanks lazibayer! That …
Help with motherboard - Abit PR5 R2
Posted on 2017-02-21, 14:17
I've found a Socket 7 motherboard, it's an Abit AB-PR5 R2 Rev. 2.41. Does anyone know if this board can use Pentium MMX or AMD K6 CPUs? The scanty documentation I've found so far only mentions non-MMX Pentiums and AMD K5. I've seen numerous forums references to people using it with say MMX 200 MHz, …

I blame Phil too. Have spent waaay to much money and time on this because of him! Not to mention cluttering up my (previously orderly) home with various computer parts...

I use this one, and it works flawlessly. I'm even chaining adapters, as I have a USB keyboard. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHORT-15cm-PS2-6-Pin- … m-/330636744031

Yeah, it's a Vortex 1, that is obvious, but what brand or manufacturer? The AU8820 drivers from Vogons archive works great with it in Windows 98, so I just want to know to satisfy my curiosity.

So, I "bought" this computer by helping out a family member with his (current) computer. IMG_1846.JPG It's a Compaq Armada 4150T, complete with dockingstation, external battery (!), and charger. Everything seems to working fine, except the battery is almost dead, as expected. It's running some kind …

I found a broken trace on the circuit board itself. Not sure if that causes my problem. I have my eyes on another classic GUS, and if I get it I will try to swap chips. Edit: The trace is fine.

I should probably just ask for thread deletion... Turns out the problem seems to be that my AWE64 had reset it's PnP settings and had reallocated the MPU port back to 330 from the 300 where I want it. It probably conflicted with the Roland, since that uses port 330. :dead: Not sure why it only …

Thanks for the ideas! Here are the results so far, when running VIDSPEED: J11 closed, J12 open: Everything works normally. This was how the board was set when I got it. J11 closed, J12 closed: No image on monitor. It sounds like computer is starting normally -- I hear the memory counting up, and the …
