As an ongoing quest for creating a machine for each era of new technology, in between the years mid-80's to 2000 (plus minus some years).
I have finished up one of those machines. It may not be 100% correct in terms of the year of the P166-Release.
Yet, I think that this machine is one solid Pentium-166 non-MMX.
It has the following hardware:
- One generic, dirty and butt-ugly AT-Case. (Not the greates, just usefull.)
- ATX PSU with minus 5volt rail and a homemade ATX-AT converter.
- Shuttle HOT 555a Rev. 3.2 (yes. Ps/2 header and coincell)
- Intel Pentium-166 non-MMX and Coolermaster fan.
- 16mb Ram.
- Adaptech PCI SCSI controller (I don't care for the model, it just works)
- IBM Ultrastar 9.1gb 10k SCSI harddrive.
- One 80 to 68 pin SCSI converter (50-pin compatible too)
- Number-9 S3 Virge 325 PCI.
- Creative Soundblaster AWE64-Gold.
- Orchid Voodoo1.
- Creative VideoBlaster MP400 CT6080 (MPEG-1 for VideoCD playback)
- Floppy and Optical drives.
I have looped the S3 into the MP400 and the MP400 into the Voodoo.
If anyone know what other setup should be adviced, please let me know.
I just think that it is the most apropriate way to have the V1 last in the "chain".
I might swap out the SCSI setup, for CF card setup.
Now for some pictures....
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
