Hi all
I haven't forgot about you, don't worry. 😀
So, I had some diffilculties with the first MB I bought, an ATC-5220 which refuse to boot with FSB above 66MHz, with a Cyrix MII-366 or a K6-2 400. Either it has a real problem either I'm a total idiot.
I decided to buy another SS7 MB, and discovered the brand TMC (not distributed in France obviously) with the TI5VG+.
The K6-2 400 worked perfectly ...... but not the MII-366 🙁
I could use a MII-333 but decided to try to find a better CPU and found the advice to forget about ebay and check offers on cpu-world. And quickly, I was able to buy a MII-400 running at 2.2V for a cheap price (32$ vs around 75$ for such Cyrix cpus on ebay).
Of course, now, the main reason of the tread is obsolete 😜
BTW I tried to overclock the cpu from 3*95 to 3*100 and I coudn't boot if I don't change the voltage 😁
And then I ran into the main difficulty to build that PC, to find 2 IDE ribbon with 40 holes. Seriously, the first 3 sellers promised me it was 40 holes before sending me a 39 holes ribbon. 😵
So, special thanks to techdnauk for brand new IDE cables 😀
I manage to install Win98SE even if I'm really rusty with such old system, except that I still haven't manage to make USB work properly. I haven't tried Beos/Haiku yet.
I haven't decided the case for it, I would like a desktop for ATX motherboard and I'm surprised to see that there isn't much model available.
