I picked up this case today, a cheap local find on eBay for a change. Nothing too exciting but obviously finding good condition beige cases is getting difficult now. No yellowing on this one and it's very solid and heavy with nice thick steal. No plans for it at the moment :) This is definitely …

Thanks. That is the one. And if my has only 2 RAM slots soldered then that means only 512MB RAM max? What would be best CPU compatible with this motherboard? Probably depends on board revision...unofficially good chance with mid-range coppermines. Someone even managed a 1.4 GHz Tualatin Celeron on …

Can anyone confirm that this drive will work under Dos? I have tried the 'toscdrom.sys' driver from this link, but MSCDEX will not load it, which makes me wonder if it's a corrupt/broken file. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=94887&p=1253885&hilit=460cdt%20driver#p1253885 The CD-ROM …

You only need to change the backup battery which is worn out. Can you tell me what type of battery, so I can order it? I can't find the CD on the internet, can …

Not that it helps much, but this is about the best pic I could find of the breakout card (seems to differ from the manual where not all the ports are hardwired). From the traces it looks like the (approx) inner 16 pins on the m/b connector are for vga. There are a few posts elsewhere from the late …

As for confirmation that it's an OPTi 928 / MAD16... try and run the initializer software for MAD16 and see if it registers. Thanks! I'll try to see it this weekend. The two wavetable headers (or something that looks a lot like it) are very unusual, I'm willing to wager that J1 is related to the …

Looks like a system with previous industrial use... ...top two pics are likely data acquisition cards (488.2 on the bottom one refers to IEEE 488.2) Would guess multi-chip CL cards are for some form of associated multi-monitor display, probably on breakout cables from the 37 pin d-sub connector. …

As others have mentioned, the UK scene still seems reasonable for supply though 'silly money' prices being asked likely continue to be a downer for most.
