Re: Why isn't there a 8086 PC remake?

in Milliways
Did quite a bit of performance investigation around 8088/8086 hardware. The topic is very interesting to me. My signature points to a dictionary. The first few links there contain data related to the subject. Intention was to broaden a bit the information spectrum since it is very narrow given the …

Re: 3 (+3 more) retro battle stations

I remember you mentioning your previous 2x80 tests. Do you have info from them posted around here ? Yes pci bus divider of 1/2 is a must, otherwise POST hangs.

This usenet post looks familiar indeed. You officially designed PR/NU as the B6 stepping. Congrats to the godfather. As far as i remember LuckyStar-486E rev.F (OR/OT) supports EDO.

Notice the chipset revision list i provided. Now it is coming back to me. OR/OT is the latest stepping. All 1.22 revisions are with that …

Re: 3 (+3 more) retro battle stations

Ah, right PR, not N#. revision 1.21 with chipset date 96 36 (this is the latest i have seen to date) https://forum.maxiol.com/index.php?s=40b28c41ff688b9a44e3d224e2e859c0&act=Attach&type=post&id=7646 I don't see any numbers on the back nearby the BIOS location on the two boards here. Btw, what you …
