These need to go as a bulk for shipping price. All components work.

No worries. Do you remember how stable was Biostar UUD in this configuration ? Revision 3.1 motherboard is just not having it. Agreed on using third party IDE controller for this board. It is mandatory really.

The Kayak case is claimed as well.

Sorry Kahenraz, There will be few more dumps in the coming days. Too much junk around here. I think there is another GF2 PCI like the one you are interested in.

It is morning here. Somebody claimed the whole lot as-is during my night already. The only thing that's left is the Kayak case. I doubt it will be claimed, so the path to the trash bin is already widening for it. : )

I would prefer a bulk donation. Time is tight and won't be able to deal with individual shipments. Btw, there is one more item that has to go. HP Kayak MX600 case. Looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Kayak It has everything inside but the motherboard - psu, dvd drive, 1.44 fdd, fans, …
Re: Why isn't there a 8086 PC remake?

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 …

Bunch of cards and a CPU must go for a shipping price as a bulk. Intel DX2-66 (fan is a bit stale) Everything worked the last time i checked. Actually, not 100% sure about the GF2 PCI anymore. I used to have 2-3 of these at some point. One of them didn't work, but which one is on the short list here …

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. Biostar UUD has flaky IDE controller which required slowing things down in BIOS. This slows things down below Shuttle HOT-433 levels. It was …

A while ago somebody pointed me to this video where the author shows AMD Am486 DX2-66V16BGC CPU running at 2x80MHz. This naturally picked my interest and decided to see for myself what's there. It looks like that DX2 model is Am5x86-P75 / Am486 DX5-133W16BGC in disguise. Same properties, but 2x …

800 800 24 seems close. Can this be lcd incompatibility of sort ?

It wouldnt work with 1mb l2 cache - couldnt get it to complete POST despite using trusted chips that handle it on other boards with tight timings.

Makes sense about PVI. Let it marinate for a while. Maybe come around the in the next round. About MSI's MS-4144. Was able to get it going at 180/200MHz but with 256Kb level 2 cache only. Updated the post with the details and perf metrics.

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. I don't have this specific revision anymore and cannot verify. So, not 100% confident here. As for your struggles with …

To expand further on what Feipoa said about DLC/SXL2 and SCSI/EIDE bus mastering - it is problematic in general, across the board. If it works here and there - that is the exception. So the #HOLD nodes are very interesting.

Ah, there it is. Obviously. Thanks @Irinkus. 95 40 on the two 1.22 boards here. The second number is for the week of the year. 40 out of 51. Btw, my list in that other thread is incomplete. There is one more 496 revision - PR. So there may be even later stepping than B5. All SiS 497/497 boards that …

The soldered pins look too regular for the home hack jobs we do, but who knows. It is possible. oh, wow. I actually participated in the thread you linked first. 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 …

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 …
