Its hard these days to find a recent good 286 motherboard and iam limited on that problem..
I found a 286 motherboard without anything on it.. But i like it because the board is still new..
Find some memory, processor isnt that hard for me..
But when it comes to the motherboard bios its getting really hard.
Iam very limited on my options, but i hope you guys can boost me with a little bit information so i can see if there are some options left for me..
The motherboard (286) that i have found have a suntac chipset..
- Are they really bad to use? I found on one of my old topics that some / most chipsets couldnt handle beyond 12Mhz processor speed
I aming to build an 286 16mhz machine.. But its very hard to get a 286 board that can full working and can cooperate with a 16mhz processor.
But if i still can make a 12Mhz machine a would be happy too..
If the board has suntac chipset. Is it possible to use a bios set (EVEN AND ODD) from an other motherboard with the same brand suntac chipset? (I know there are / Award / AMD / PHOENIX bioses for it..
Is it hard to find a keyboard bios controller?? Or are there possabilitys to find one or more on ebay?
~ At least it can do black and white~
