Did you improvise those pins for the USB connector, or was that a previous owner? A female USB header is a bit of a dirty trick IMO. I was looking at photos, and to confirm, it appears that JP17 isn't present on earlier revisions of this motherboard. Maybe someone reading this might know what it's …

Also, I’ve noticed there seems to be differences here between 1.2 and 1.23 See extra header and possible different voltage options should make note of that

The PS/2 connector is just above the keyboard port. The USB headers were sometimes maddeningly proprietary on AT motherboards - more standardized I/O was one of the major benefits of the ATX form factor. I had a Chaintech 5AGM2 AT Super 7 board that used these tiny pins for the USB that no standard …

Well Jan's bios is based on the 1999 bios. So I guess his bios is better ^^ (I have added it too). I don't know how these bioses are patched but to my knowledge adding USB boot would require some more in depth patching than adding CPU support. You can use anything (by putting it on a floppy disk, a …

Is the necessary 2.5V IO voltage of the Tillamook that gets overvolted on desktop boards to 3.3V still an issue? When I made some experiments with Tillamooks many years ago I used to put a standard diode (not Schottky!) in the IO supply rail so the voltage dropped from 3.3V to 2.6V. Back then I …

so, it would be cool as heck to be able to mod these chips without soldering to them do any interposer gerbers exist that could be modified? is someone willing to make one ? adding the pictured switches to it and a voltage control would be cool also we really need an alternative to the powerleap …

Looky what arrived today! 😁 One of those is a bit of a holy grail for me. My Super 7 system is now an Epox MVP3G-M with a K6-2+ 550.

I wouldn't of thought about trying the 1tb drive thats never going to work and it isnt compatible, with that card. The 60gb drive should work so you have some other kind of unrelated problem there. You do realize you don't have to max out the partition. You can create smaller partitions like only …
