Wow, tons of great answers here. Yeah, the LiteOn drive I'm using was a bottom of the barrel generic beige model that I used on the first computer I ever built back in '05. I believe it was the cheapest model on Newegg that had half decent reviews, so I got it. Works, but it definitely lacks …

Yeah it's the same file as the link above. Were you having trouble installing everything correctly earlier, in that other thread? I had trouble initially too, but only when I tried messing around and doing a custom install. Truth of it is, what the CD apparently wants you to do is install absolutely …

I have the exact same card. I used the drivers I found on Creative's site first, and then later found that there was no way to control all the device's features, so I found an old link to the Live!Ware 3.0 ISO on this very forum of all places, and installed all that, worked perfectly... never …

I saw a video card comparison in the Google Books …

Yeah, I actually was able to hook a bunch of stuff up to get it running temporarily, and discovered that indeed either connector would work fine. It's a curious design, though. But yeah DonutKing, I realized after making my custom title that it was actually only a close approximation of that System …

New member here, putting together my first retro-style computer, and I've come across something a bit odd (for me). I've never worked with hardware this old before, so much of it is new to me. Turns out my late-90's case actually has TWO separate wire leads both labeled "POWER SW", and both leading …
