Yes its possible to use external port with even gotek. I think there are guides even in this thread. I made a 37 seconds video on Gotek on EuroPC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktjXEp0Ztso Thanks! You guys don't happen to have any english software for the Euro PC series? I have some original …

I had some time now so my Euro Pc repair attempt got a bit further. I got it to boot by swapping non working 74F245 U3 with 74ls245, I'm still waiting for the f245 from China. I got picture with Tseng Et3000ax. But I cant get internal chip to sync with my Philips pro 7bm743 monitor. I think that …

No, my card doesn't have an IDE port. The PCB has all the routing for it, but the components are not populated. BTW I can confirm the broken CT4380 has been fixed!! Ah thanks for answering. Mine has an IDE port, then i flashed it to remove it and now i'm looking for a file to restore it again... :P

Ah you are right... They are not compatible, just checked my adapter... Yeah, too bad the 2011 does not support ide... Maybe using the riser card, like the one on the 2121, and another card to use another hdd? Btw, does your drive have the original software? Been looking for some files for the usa …

The 2121 can use IDE drives but not the 2011. There are adapters for the diskette drive (i bought one on ebay from a guy who makes them) but i Don't know of one for the hdd... I believe the same adapter would work for the hdd but i am not sure.

Ah... was really hoping that disabling the Power Management options did the trick... Have you also checked the cables? The power adapter has some cables related to the APM, iirc. Also, maybe there is something touching the RAM simms or some card... I confess i'm a bit OCD when it comes to that sort …

Have you checked the battery? I also remember having a similar issue on my Aptiva but mine was a 2134 model... iirc it was related to some APM setting on bios... Also, did you try the diagnostics disk for that model, if it has one? Hello, yes the CMOS battery is a new one. I just updated the BIOS ( …

If I was gung ho for fixing it, I'd be pinging out the IRQ lines thinking there was a scratch or break, or bad connection. I really have no idea how to do that... would be nice to fix it just to be able to use the extra pci slot but i guess i'll really have to use the pci graphic card and forget …

Try a small Linux live CD. It will tell /indicate to you if the onboard video is damaged at all. This bios doesn't allow booting from a cd drive. Do you think it will work from DOS 6.22/Windows 95?

I had another last desperate idea, if you swap the first and last socketed video ram chips over, that might move a bad piece of RAM out of the first 256K of video memory (Which I think is where it would have to be for setup not to show and not move on to booting off HDD) and up to near the max RAM, …
