Nope. Win98SE only recognized 8GB.

I've got an ATX power supply in the closet, so I guess I could use that. I noticed that the bios recognizes the CF as 32GB, but the Win98 boot floppy thought it was 8GB. Windows 98SE is installing now, I'm hoping it recognized the full 32GB. If not, I'll fall back to the 8GB drive and try to be …
Re: So EIDE is not compatible with IDE...

Well, I used the same two old IDE cables. Connected the CDROM to the IDE1 as master and the CF card to IDE0 as master... and it found the CDROM. But with both on IDE0 with the CDROM as slave... no joy. I connected the CDROM to IDE0 as master... found the drive. This makes me think my old K6-2 board …
So EIDE is not compatible with IDE...
Posted on 2019-07-09, 13:24
I have a very frustrating system I've wasted weeks on. I'm done with it. I give up, I may give up on retro computing altogether. I'm tired of feeling stupid. I had a K6-2 300mhz system. I had DOS6.22 / Win3.1 running on it, although it was getting flakey, which I blamed on the 6 gig HD. So I decided …

🤣 I just bought a pack of ten of those CR2032 holders in the hopes of replacing a 2032 battery. Hopefully a rechargeable won't need the diode?

Might as well buy $20 worth from the online place instead of spending $15 for a single one shipped off of eBay. I can get 15 of them for $30.86 shipped from here: https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws9229/ That's the place I was going to get them, only it would have been $42 …

I need to replace the simm connectors on my AWE32. The only ones I can find online are only $1.34 US, but the place has a $20 minimum order (plus $21 shipping). Does anyone know of anyplace else online that would have them that I could just buy what I need and ships to the US for less than that? …

ISA / PCI extension / riser?
Posted on 2019-06-24, 20:45
Is it possible to build an ISA or PCI cable to extend an ISA or PCI slot? That is, male edge card at one end to insert into one of the motherboard's ISA or PCI slots (depending on what kind of system you had, of course) and the other end would be a female ISA or PCI edge card slot into which ISA or …
IBM PS/2 Model 25 on-board hard drive interface
Posted on 2019-06-24, 20:40
The only IBM system I've liked (other than the original 5150/5160/5170) was the PS/2 Model 25. I think they're cute, and I like the all-in-one design. I'd rather get a Compaq all-in-one, but they've been generally rarer to find and more expensive to get. Also I don't yet have an 8086/8088 system, …
gameport to usb joystick adapter?
Posted on 2019-06-21, 22:55
I've seen on ebay several devices meant to adapt old gameport joysticks to be able to connect to the usb ports of a modern PC (and presumably older MIDI devices, as well). But I don't see the reverse. Are there any devices out there to allow you to use a USB joystick with an older computer? Well, I …
Re: online capacitor source?
Posted on 2019-06-19, 11:37
Digikey and Mouser are reliable sources of capacitors I normally get mine from RS Components though, and that is also a very reliable source of capacitor components. Places like Fry's (like jaycar and altronics here in australia) would be a last resort deal for getting capacitors for me, as you …

K6-2 300mhz in Socket 7 motherboard?

I just bought a Socket 7 motherboard with a 133mhz Pentium CPU. The board is labeled "KM-T5-V rev 3.0" On the back it's labeled "TEAN TN2 94v0" I'm wondering if I can stick a K6-2 300mhz in place of the Pentium, and if so, what will be the effect? Will it fry it? Will it be much faster? Is it …
Re: CF2IDE issues
Posted on 2019-06-06, 18:53
When I couldn't get the fixed-bit to set on the 8GB card, I searched for a UDMA card, as I'd read that those can boot. I'll try putting the CDROM on the 2nd IDE channel and see what happens. It just seems odd that the drive worked for awhile (although it did appear to have problems.. hm.)
Re: CF2IDE issues

So I was able to partition and install Win98 on the 8GB CF card. But the computer hangs whenever I put the 32GB card in (it used to start just fine with the card inserted; I almost had Win98 installed on it). I pull the 32GB card, and it leaves the Speedeasy logo of the bios setup (which I can re- …
