How much (estimated) would be the Elite worth? I haven't seen any sold recently, but would like to know how much they are worth?

I saw a simple 1MB daughterboard go for Euro 48,50 last week, seems there is too much demand.. Thats why I don't like German ebay - prices are insane. I remember bidding for an Alpha PC about 1 year ago. The biding ended at over 200 Euro. One month later I won a better equipped one on Swiss ebay …

Anyone using this board? Is it good? Better than ASUS PVI-486 SP3? Because I just missed a bidding for one 🙁

So you're right....a P1 system is better to have than a hyped socket 3 system That depends... some 386/486-optimised games do not work on Pentium-class (pipelined) CPUs, regardless of the clock rate. Could you provide some titles (for testing purposes, it would be nice to have a list of problematic …

I vote for neither. After some really long thinking about it and reading posts at VOGONS (valnar's post was the one that convinced me: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=20274), I decided to build my 486 around the Intel DX2-66. It's compatible with every board, it was popular in real 486s, and …

I have the manual, but unfortunately the mouse header is not documented 🙁. It consists of 6 pins that form the letter 'C'. Amigaz, if your header also looks like this, then please post how it's wired.

Can anyone tell me what is the pinout of the PS/2 connector on this board? I bought some PS/2 headers, but although advertised that they are looking like they would fit the connector, they came as 5x2 headers with 4 wires: red, yellow, green and blue - I don't know what is the purpose of each. …

If the PC isn't connected directly to the Internet then using a firewall is an overkill. Avast seems to work on Win95. Personally, I rely on my brain to defend against viruses 😉.

The one I will try to bid (none of these on ebay of course) is a MB with an integrated AMD 386 DX-40 and has a socket for either 387 coprocessor or 486 processor. It's based on Opti 82C495, has one VLB slot, 8 30-pin SIMM sockets and 128 kB cache.

Coppermine compatible BX motherboards have the voltage regulator that is capable to go below 1.8 V. But there are many boards (such as the ASUS P2B series or Iwill BS-100 series) that came in many revisions, with the earlier (and from my experience more popular ones) supporting only Katmai. http:// …
