No, it isn't required. But each copy required unique serial key. I think now when service is dead and you can't get your own serial key legally anymore, it's not a big moral problem to use warez copy. Can't test Windows version (Kali95) right now but DOS version does work as should. https://thumb. …

IPXNET is, of course, limited to DosBox; Kali and Khan seem more or less dead; I don't know how to configure PPTP (and I am under the impression that I'd have to open ports on the server hardware, which might not be possible...) So... how do you connect real hardware ipx through the internet in …

I already asked them (for onboard video issues). With my "runglish" they recognized me as russian resident and transfered my question to their russian support. "Greetings" in Tralfamadorian has been much more informative than our conversation.

I don't know about any general differences between 4.51 and 6.00 versions, only can say that mobo has ability to boot from CD-ROM, ZIP and LS120 drives. Non-typical feature for 486 class motherboard.

Heads up.. 4-slot IPC case for only $75 shipped. Has a 3.5" bay in the front which is nice for something like a Gotek. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F222598345755 I bought one since they're hard to find. Needs a backplane though. I found a 4-ISA …

Powering to work alone, without passive backplane. Keep in mind that regular power adaptors with molex like this one not providing enough power for it. I could be wrong but i belive it would work if you get the 5A version, normally whit usb disk connectores comes with 2.5A. The PCA-6751 specs says: …

Oh, i see two slightly different Netlinks in completed listings on ebay. One is 5 slot chassis from US. Another is 4 slot chassis from Canada with separate COM/LPT holes. I see PCA-6751 SBC on first deal. Very good SBC for our retro vagaries, IMHO. Do you bought both?

Aren't the CPUs integrated into some of those STpcs basically Cyrix 5x86s running at 133MHz? Yeah, that's it. STMicroelectronics (former SGS-Thomson) uses Cyrix Cx486 core in their SoCs but on more modern manufacturing process with less heat producion. If only all our stuff had been so small back …

My plan is to switch the sbc card with the 486 sbc that I will receive and the get a new box with isa and pci backplane to put the PCa-6751 in with a 3dfx card ;) Again, PCA-6751 doesn't have external PCI bus, only integrated devices lies on PCI bus - IDE, VGA, LAN. You need some PISA SBC to get …

After googling compare the image of the sbc that came with the box i notice it was a Advantech PCA-6751 :) sure the case was a bit higher that i wanted but for $121.88 with shipment and import charge i cant be sad any more :) Oh, I used that SBC at an early stage, when I did not have a case yet. …
