Here it is, just needs a better A3D image to work with and a cleaner tardis image.

What would be awesome is to make it in a scalable format, blow it up, put game screen shots in the little windows, print it out in huge format and hang it on the wall!

Maybe something like inkscape? Any artists here?

Got some power supplies in today for Dell 2001FP monitors. One works perfectly and one has vertical stripes on the right side of the screen then blank to the right of the stripes. Does it with or without video input. I think i will take it apart and have a look. Any tips?

Honestly, I think I prefer a 15" LCD over the 2001FP for lower resolution games. I might use the 2001FP for a high end XP box.

Had to 'Dork Up' the face plate 😊

Large images

Looks quite nice!

Thanks!

Apologies to squareguy for continuing to talk about my own SS7 build in his thread, but I thought that others might be interested in the latest on my quest to run my SS7 from 486 speeds all the way to 550MHz with the flip of a switch and a few keystrokes.

My extension cables arrived today, and I can report success! Now, with a push of a button, I can switch the FSB from 66MHz to 100MHz. Combined with gerwin's SETMUL, which allows me to set the multiplier from 2x to 6x AND disable the L1 & L2 cache, I can run at speeds from a 33MHz 486 all the way to a 550MHz K6-3+.

With L1 disabled, 2x multipler, 66 MHz FSB: Speedsys 19.49
With L1 disabled, 2x multipler, 100 MHz FSB: Speedsys 29.24

Nice! Could you take a photo maybe?

Sure. Do you mean pics of Speedsys or of the motherboard?

The switches in action 😀

OK, so here's the front of the case. The key to making this work is to have a case with Turbo button AND an LED display. The Turbo button will switch between 66MHz and 100MHz.

Here's what the Turbo switch looks like from the inside of the case. You can see that there are two sets of wires coming from it, each one with three wires (yellow/black/white and orange/black/white).

Luckily, only one jumper setting out of three differs between the 66MHz and 100MHz FSB settings, the jumper called CLK3 (see previous post of manual page). I used the orange/black/white connector for this header.

On the VA-503+, you need to synchronize the RAM frequency with the FSB frequency. Again, only one jumper out of three differs between 66MHz and 100MHz: SDRAM2 (see previous post of manual page). I used the yellow/black/white connector for this header. (I needed to get some extension cables for these wires).

Now, all you have to do is use the Turbo switch to change from 66MHz and 100MHz FSB. Combined with SETMUL, you have amazing versatility!

As I said in a previous post, you now lose the ability to switch the LED panel readout because one three-pin connector (the one that was once on the LED panel) is now used on the motherboard. But I don't have an issue with my LED reading 550 all the time.

I don't know if you can do this with other SS7 motherboards, but if you get these three things, you can replicate this setup:

FIC VA-503+ motherboard
AMD K6-3+ CPU (must be K6-2+ or K6-3+ to use SETMUL)
A case with a turbo switch and an LED panel (or skills to make your own switch)

I like it!
