What type of model 30 8086 do you have? I have both a white switch and a red switch version of the model 30 8086. At first i thought it would only be the power switch, and the fact that the one with the red switch uses a 720 kb floppy drive and the one with the white switch uses a 1.44mb drive. But …

Nice. Mouser had a lot of stuff, but shipping the parts would be more then 20 …

I don’t know, i have sold my Commodore PC-I xt clone, because i found it to limmited in what it could do.

The only plus the model30 286 has, is that it comes with 2 isa slots and onboard mcga, that is vga compatible. The downside is the harddisk not being ide. I have a xtide but i need to order parts to populate the board. I have some what of a nostasia for the p1 233mmx because it was the first pc i …

I had a virge before i swapped it for a Daimond Stealth II s220. Added a Daimond VooDoo II 12mb to it and later swapped the s220 for a Matrox G200 8mb pci. Think that was my last combo before i swapped to agp.

I had a Diamond Stealth II s220 as my 3d card before i bought a voodooII 12mb. And after that i still used it, combined with the voodoo. Later on i switched the s220 for a matrox g200 for better 2d performance. But i remember being very happy with my s220.

I would also say your best option would be a vga card. Makes live a lot easier. Don't know where you live, but an old colleague of mine repairs electronics. He is oldschool and has fixed an apple lc-II monitor for me. You only need to have pacience since he is very busy.

May not be the nices way to stack cards, but they are not made of glass and can stand a little beating. That said, the risk of ripping or damaging high components is possible.
