There are going to be other missing parts as well, othing too fancy, but not something you can just throw parts at. Best option would be to compare your board with someone with usb.

Oh, I have several of those, it sounds like there are other problems. I did get all the parts in to build some new ones, but life and school have conspired to eliminate any semblance of "free time". Soon. I hope.

Yea, I went there on my mobile, big mistake. That gave my phone at least 3 different types of herpes . *edit* Rather than bitch and moan about that website link being analogous to a 2$ hooker, I downloaded it and re-hosted it from my google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/ …

During covid I tried to find as much info on S370 to Slot1 slotket adapters as possible and combine the info in a somewhat comprehensible format.

Scsi is not complicated. Its easy as long as you follow its rules. If you need any more info, you know how to find us.

I have an entire shelf of scsi cd drives, I also can attest to 95% of them being 50-pin. That's not the point. The point is, 1x 68-pin cable should be fine. The only benefit to running both a 50 & 68, is the controller doesn't automatically change bus speed to accommodate the hard drive, and the OP …
Re: Which SCSI cables do I need?

Well, I did a cursory search for "px-20TSi" on the Gargler and I say some images with 68-pins. So I didn't want to just outright assume it was a 50. Granted, I didn't sit there and do a thesis on it, just a 1-minute Gargler image search. I also recall typing 95% of scsi CD drives were 50-pin The …
Re: Which SCSI cables do I need?

ho boy. Where do we start. - Is the CD drive 50 or 68 pin - i'm going to assume 50-pin because 95% of scsi CD drives were 50-pin Assuming 50 pin CD: Buy a 68-pin cable that is long enough for your case. Dont spend too much, the controller only runs up to 40mb/s. Spending extra on a U160 or U320 …

Hmm? Buffered is usually seen as slower in one or two stick systems, are you meaning that for multiple DIMM applications that buffered doesn't need the timings slack to stay stable? In theory, buffered doesn't really affect BANDWIDTH very much. It does affect LATENCY. As memory chips got faster and …
Re: IBM PS/2 MODEL 30 unknown 386 upgrade??
Posted on 2021-08-11, 10:19
To be frank, 64k is more than plenty for a suped up 286. Even baseline 386 boards topped out at 256k and the performance difference between 64 & 256k is marginal at best. Keep in mind, this is for the software that makes sense on a 2/3-86. I'd wager the buyers of these upgrades were more interested …

I personally went with SCSI on my model 25. (Same mother board) with a Soundblaster. I have a scsi to ethernet adapter as you only get 2 slots on a 25. Scsi makes sense for me, as I can add a CD, and I can use it for odd things, like ethernet. The onboard video is perfect adequate for a 8088/286 …

Yea, the hard drive is intentionally proprietary. You also can't just toss in an adapter either. It needs to have special roms to work. These hard drives are reliably horrible. The cache is part of the upgrade, the chips at the top center are likely the L2 cache. the stand out number is the "-25" …
