Hi guys! 😁
Recently I picked up a generic Pentium II rig off of ebay for about $100. It came from one of those e-recycling places that sell old computers without hard drives and this one caught my eye. More specifically, the HP Colorado T3000 tape drive caught my eye. But it came without a hard drive, so I threw in an old 20 GB drive from another tower I was scrapping out and installed 98 SE on it.
It's a Baby AT case with a motherboard in it supporting both a Socket 370 cpu and a Slot 1. Currently it's got a Pentium II MMX slot 1 running at 400 mhz, with 96 MB of RAM. I'm trying to figure out the motherboard's make and model, and the closest I've got is "PII Slot-1 242P" inscribed on the side of the slot 1 slot.
The problem is, everything is integrated. Ribbons connect everything to the board, nothing is taking advantage of the 3 PCI local slots on the board. There are some chips which might help me get drivers if I copy down the models of them. I'll do that tomorrow, don't feel like opening the case right now (it's a pain to get off and on 🤣 )
Just posting here to possibly see if anyone has any helpful info to help get drivers for it so I don't have to just use generic 16 color VGA and no sound or anything 😀
Thanks!
