Hi everyone,
So I was inspired by carlostex's rig a while back (Tex's ultimate 386 project!) and wanted to build a similar one for myself.
As it stands, I have almost all the parts I need to attempt my build, but I just realized something I was unsure of. For some reason I assumed that I could just plug the riser card that came with the case into the motherboard, and it should work... but it's been so long I honestly don't know if that's how it works, or if the motherboard itself has to be specifically designed for a riser card.
In this photo you can see the motherboard, case, and riser card... from a form factor standpoint it feels as though everything fits and should be compatible... but am I completely wrong in thinking the riser card will simply plug into one of the ISA slots and work in that fashion? http://imgur.com/a/TUVnt
The only documentation I've been able to find on the motherboard I have is here http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/A/AS … -ISA-386U3.html which really makes no reference to anything about riser cards, so I'm confused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
