I simply using an arduino nano or just an ATMega328 plus one of those 0.36" 7-Segment Display TM1637. Fits perfectly and way cheaper. Plus you can program it to your own taste. Mine is scrolling and glowing up at start for example.

The fee and the wait time to get paid are my peeves. I never fret over a negative comment, there are always some arse-holes that will biatch for the most minor thing.

The MOSFETs are pretty cool when paired with a 500Mhz Celeron but extremely hot with a 1.4Ghz Pentium 3. I installed little copper heatsinks on them to help. I wonder if they will be pushed even harder with the lower voltage. The chip I ordered was through Aliexpress and is estimated to arrive …

Really interesting one, makes me wonder we need to consolidate all of such projects in one hardware/just one Pi, something like McCake Ultra with many modes of emulation.

The "original" GA-8I865GME-775 supports up to Pentium D 940 (3.2GHz) but not Pentium D 945. OTOH the revised, RoHS-compliant GA-8I865GME-775-RH has four revisions; the final rev. 6.6 can support up to Core 2 Extreme QX6800 (Kentsfield with 1066MHz FSB) just like any other last few MB using Intel …
