Re: Tyan motherboards wants bios chip

Yeah, original BIOS chip is a Winbond W29c020 IC. Theoretically, any 29C variant chip would work on this board. https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/v … D/W29C020C.html

Sis now wanted a laptop to replace the old ASUS laptop we got her a few years ago. Unit that replaced it: HP 15-ef2723od. Since the 3rd gen gaming build is pretty much a success (she mostly runs vintage games on emulators and the occasional modern fighting game; those run well... and Parsec actually …

Heh, realized very late that the 3rd gen gaming build's system drive specs had the wrong drive listed as System, as it's an Intel 7600p PCIe 3.0 x4 NVME SSD and NOT the retired 1TB Western Digital WD10EALS HDD as it was in the 2nd gen build. Fixed in previous post. Anyway... For curiosity's sake, I …

Some few days ago, I got to fully migrate my younger Sis's gaming build from an Intel 3rd gen CPU-based build to an Intel 12th gen CPU-based build. This was sorely needed because the second gen build is using an HDD for Windows 10 and some newer games she wants to play require newer hardware anyway. …

Upgraded the NAS from the 3x 2TB separate disk setup (which was originally 4x 2TB in 2015, then 3x 2TB in 2016, then 3x 2TB and 1x 250GB in 2017) running XigmaNAS 13.1 beta to a 4x 4TB RAID5 array setup running OpenMediaVault 6.0 last month, because we were running out of space. Copied the data from …

Re: Drivers for Compaq Remote Insight Lightsout Edition II?

The Compaq and HP stuff has a reference .txt file for some of the earlier SoftPAQ files (up to around 23000, though some of Compaq's stuff will need the site archive as reference), but for HP-era ones past that, you will need some archives of HP's website as reference regardless, as HP pretty much …

The card's firmware (and some other older server stuff) is on the known Compaq mirrors; my previous post now reflects that. I discovered this by accident while searching for some files and found my mirror in the process. This particular FTP archive needs some additional notes as it is missing …

HP's FTP server, assuming you have a browser that can view FTP servers (or use a real FTP client in the first place). ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/ Then you have to navigate the utterly confusing SoftPAQ layout that HP inherited (then adopted!) from Compaq themselves. There is an allfiles.txt from …

At one point in 2018, it was just stuck, clicking, when powered on. For some reason, I kept the drive. Same thing happened in 2019. Then, in 2020, I tried once …

Such a fix is also done on Roland SCB-55 Rev00 sound daughterboards, even officially by Roland themselves in some cases. I see no problem with this fix.
