If you absolutely want ISA you have to stick to an older board, Abit KT7(-RAID) and KT7A(-RAID) are the only ones I know of. Those are excellent mainboards, but they HAVE to be recapped, and are limited in which CPUs they support. Mine is still sitting in a box, waiting for the day I get the …

Voodoo 5 is complete overkill on any kind of K6 system. Even with a Voodoo 3, it's severely CPU limited. Banshee is the best match, IMO. Or G400, TNT2, GeForce, Rage128 with a single Voodoo 2 (SLI not required).

Could be a Mitsumi or Panasonic interface. Both used 40 pin connectors but weren't compatible with IDE. Sony's interface used a 34 pin connector.

Your NAS should have a smb.conf file, you need to access it via telnet or other means. How this is done on your NAS, I don't know. Synology also dropped Lanman support a few months ago, I had the same issue.

Is AGP-Pro rarer than I thought? Both of my PIII boards (CUSL2 and TUV4X) have it, but I can't find any others. Reason being my 3DLabs Wildcat 3 6110 doesn't work on them- not sure if it's the boards or the card. So, Vogon peeps- how often do you find boards with AGP-Pro? It's an Asus thing. They …

Gonna take a wild guess and say that board doesn't support 3.3V processors. Also, probably only up to 2x multiplier. Your best bet is a DX2-66 or similar (5V version!). I wouldn't risk a 3.3V part in this.

Well, found this probably isn't the right word, it was laying around in my band's practice space: Hyundai ImageQuest QV770: Well, it isn't as good as my Belinea 17", but it was free and in good condition 😀

This is on the backside of the case cover.... Hope you can use it. I have not resized the pictures, so they are easy to read, though a bit big. Yes, absolutely! Thanks a lot! You wouldn't happen to know what the "5V/3.3V jumper" looks like, right? I suspect it's a small PCB with a voltage regulator …

In the process of recapping a IBM 486 motherboard. Hope it all goes well. So far, 50% done today. I have marked the old with color on top. Using some good old-school lead tin. So easy to work with. :-P Hey, I think that's the same board I have! Do you have documentation for it? I haven't tried it …

A missing/dead battery can cause all sorts of issues. It's kind of a long shot if it doesn't even power on, but that's the first thing I would try.
