Have no clue (other than another 940c) but Inkjets cartridges dry out even if the printer is complete. I switched to lasers back in late 1990's and have never gone back.....they can sit for years without use without much issue (other than paper feed rubber rollers degrading).

For chipset driver (INF) the newest I have that supports Win95 is v3.40. From V4.0 and up there is no Win95 or Win98 support, only Win98SE and up. Somewhere I found a v3.6 or something but cannot find it now.... Phils Computer lab has v3.20... https://www.philscomputerlab.com/intel-chipset-drivers. …

You might want to add the Set Blaster line to your autoexec.bat that matches your card the way it is set, it would be : Set BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T3 You might find a conflict with printer port being both on IRQ7 but only if the port is in use when using the sound card.... Also you can try the Creative …

Actually GA-6BXE has 4 pci, 1 isa and one "shared " pci/isa, the GA-6BXC has full 3 pci and 2 isa and one "shared" (from the aspect of the case) if I read the pics and manuals properly. Depends on what you are going to add to it.

There are two types of ISA passive backplanes, one with just ISA slots and power, the other has ISA slots, power and keyboard. You need the the first one.

On this topic--SST39SF010A seems to work fine for pre-ISA PnP BIOS boards where the board doesn't care whether it is ROM or EEPROM. On later boards that do "Updating ESCD" you have to use SST29EE010. My understanding is that the reason is that Flash can only be written in page granularity while …

Before doing anything to the board (assuming the current PSU is 100% good) I would check the board for direct shorts first w/o cpu, ram, adapters and no psu: at the psu connector using ohms (not continuity) on the digi meter I would then force PSU to start by shorting the green lead (Power on) to …

Good points and yes the Nforce4 chipset did not officially support Win9x/ME except you could make it run well with a few tweaks on it (like you can with Z370 and Windows 7).

Hmm G41 chipset would make a very fast Win98SE. The USB 2.0/1.1 would work fine under 98se and depending on the Realtek chip there are drivers... Other good i865 are MSI 865PE series but very high $$$ like all i865 boards lately...you might want to consider a MSI P6N-SLI (have seen them very …

Reading about the ram I saw it must use 2MB 85ns Parity SIMMs with Presence Detection. If using any other type and speed (according to below) you will get an error. https://ardent-tool.com/memory/Identification.html#SIMM_PD ... and it tells how to check the PD.
