Generally speaking. The red should be +5v, the black should be ground. The green should be data and the brown clock. That does not guarentee they are that way. Without a ohm-meter would be hard to tell exactly as some china made products are wrong and that does not include which ps/2 pins in the …

Agree darry. I have two systems out of which the 486 system outperforms the P100 system in 3dBenchmark. So I wanted to check with the community if it is how it is supposed to be or something is wrong. You give lots info on the 486 board but nothing on the Pentium board ( no picture, no link) and …

Yeah that would help. It could have a drive overlay which means setting to disk type 1. Also it could be setup using the physical drive specs of (3 heads, 834 cylinders, unknown sectors ) like the scsi variant of 3 heads, 834 cylinders, 35 sectors/track for some odd reason. Most early IDE had both …

Yeah that is a great reference book on PCI spec. Odd thing about GA-108, it does not have a paddle board to insert into ISA slot for the IRQ's/DMA's like many other PCI IDE controller cards so it could be more board/BIOS specific for full use. The few PCI IDE controller cards I own have those …

For Win7: Same with Z370 based but limited to certain cpu support and true good video support depending on the board and BIOS. Why would any one in a vintage forum even use Win11..just curious 🤣

I do not know the bios mod name for the FSB thing, and at one time had a P4P800 and used a SLIC bios mod but that was all.... IIRC you could not unlock the multiplier on the P4P800. Maybe search thru www.bios-mod.com and see what you can find (I found nothing good)....

Could be the Creative 16 midi post on occasion messing with the Roland port ? Do you have P300 in the set blaster line ? otherwise it could possibly float to 330 (the other possible creative port) .... or is it fully disabled on the Creative SB16 card just curious..

Okay, the JETKey says Fastest Keyboard BIOS on the chip. So I thought maybe it would be something I could burn like any other BIOS chip. Huh ? Thanks majestyk your comment got me thinking. There should not be a specific external Keyboard controller chip on the board. That is built into the VIA …
