FDFORMAT I always found to be a very nice program that allows exotic floppy formats to be formatted. the 2M-XBIOS.EXE referred to in CalUser2000 's link is for allowing reading&writing of HD disks when the Bios doesn't support the type (1.44M/1.2M) Unfortunately for me, it doesn't work on my XT. …

Is this another troll thread? I think it is. I almost fell for one when he was asking about which graphics card with 3D acceleration was good for Windows 95 and eventually stopped responding.

1) no default 2) no default 3) A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6 (maybe) the first two wont have defaults since they're PCI devices, and PCI devices only have access to four IRQ's. A B C D. which get translated to other IRQ, which are set by the bios or the OS. the last one might have that as default but …

Since ISA PNP is mostly a software solution, some PnP software should fix that. easiest simple test for the isa would be inserting a gameport card/soundcard with gameport, booting a Dos version, and reading out the ports in debug. - i 200 - i 201 ? 😀

Nice board indeed and for $60 on ebay... finding any memory expansion cards for it will be doubtful. being located in texas makes the shipping prohibitive for me. Also doubtful that you can put a 386dx40 on it, and not just because the oscillators are soldered on. the amount of logic chips could …
