It al started with AGP 2x, all 3.3V cards. The universal AGP (4x) came out and accepted older and newer cards. This slot has no keying. And last AGP 8x with the key on a different spot than AGP 2x. There is also a card that has universal keying but doesn't work in a AGP 2x slot, can't remember which …

That 6600 is a 1,5V card, it won't fit in a 3,3V slot. But both are AGP.

I got this in the mail today. It is going to replace the onboard Chips F82C451 256K in the Philips P3238. There is a small dent in the oscillator and a few bent pins, but I don't expect any issues.

Idea; There are solder pastes that melt at 180 degrees C (even lower?), I don't believe a socket would meltdown at this temp, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Alright, recreating the diagnostic disks and deleting the recovery partition did the trick. 😀 I included SP4711.exe for future use and for anybody who might need it.

I also own a 575. They're a bit stubborn with the BIOS installed on a HD partition. I'm having a fight with it, it says that a setup password is set, but not configured correctly. So I think I am going to place another HD and try to set it up from scratch...

Found this. Chips & Technologies VGA driver. And in this YouTube video it's showing a Creative Sound Blaster compatible sound card. Maybe a Vibra? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vivm25sIj7g (at 9:00)

What happens if you set the shared folder with 'Everyone' share AND security permissions? In also curious what a XP SP2 machine would do.

Nasty. Understatement. I can see why you needed a hammer and WD40.

I have a Dxr2 card somewhere, but the Creative DVD-ROM drive is missing, maybe it'll work with any drive...

And the P3238 is alive and kicking booting. Nothing beats the sound of an initializing ST-157A! After that it booted DOS 4.01 and Windows 3.0... Happy Days. The correct drive type was number 10. After running setup.com (to access the CMOS setup), it magically changed to drive type 25. Ha! Oh... hmm …

Since the power supply is 32 years old, I actually did it preventively. The machine's runtime is unknown, perhaps redundant indeed, but I'd like to be on the safe side. There not many P3238's left. But isn't that with all rust buckets... 😉

Just these two. The Philips whas missing a keyboard and mouse, so I had to hunt them down. Monitors are trickier to find, maybe I'll get lucky. The Compaq is only missing a mouse, but shouldn't be hard to come by. Obviously, the Compaq 1024 monitor isn't in the photograph, but is in my posession. …
