https://i.imgur.com/XkoakUs.jpg A few workstation level 3D accelerators: Intergraph Intense 3D Wildcat 4000, Intergraph Intense 3D Pro 2200 FirePRo V7900(this one is fairly modern comparatively), 3Dlabs Oxygen GVX420 Diamond Fire GL1, another Intergraph Intense 3D Pro 2200 ATI Fire GL X3(same as a …

I've recently purchased an AM133 motherboard, it's actually quite interesting because of the ISA slot, and I managed to start an Athlon XP 2400+ at 1500Mhz on this machine. The problem is of course that there is no manual, updated BIOS or even just the jumper settings for this board. I've managed to …

Yes, the computer recognises the drive as a normal floppy drive. It works the same way as a normal floppy including the speed at which it operates. I use a gotek with a HxC firmware and had no issues on any of my tested machines (includes 386,486, pentium I, II and III machines).

Yes, There is a guy on youtube who is trying to get one working again, an original paintbox. I used the very first version of this, it has the wired pen, and slow, at the same time I used a HAL. Not many programs use this type of interface anymore, the closest would be a Flame system.

Yeah, I figured that it is not super critical, I think it is used to switch between the outputs. I received this card as faulty (it was very cheap). There was virtually no output on any of the channels. Looking at the card I noticed that the -V input on the cd4052 was burned away. I replaced this …

I am trying to repair a damaged card, I have replaced the DA chip and will need to replace the op amp(tl074c) chip as well, but there is also a small smd cap above the 4x2 matrix (DA) chip(cd4052) which is marked C96. Can anyone tell me the value. I tried to measure it from another card but I gen …

I think I found the problem. The multiplexer IC (CD4052BCM) has one of the legs, the negative V input, burned out. It's a fairly small smd chip but should not be a problem replacing it, but it is most likely that the ceramic cap (C95) next to the burned leg needs replacement. Unfortunately I don't …

Hate to resurrect this thread but I have a very similar problem with my mx300 that I got recently. My problem is much simpler, The output is incredibly faint, I need to use an amp with max volume to hear anything, so the card is doing it's thing but the output is virtually non existent on any …

Most of these explosions came from the Artbeats ReelExplosion collections eg: http://www.artbeats.com/clips/RE228/NTSC this one was on the the world creation toolkit CD(3d studio dos, than later max) so you could see these everywhere at the time.

Yep, it's a Gravis Ultrasound PnP pro. It has an AMD Interwave chip (there are only a few other cards that use this tech). Haven't tested it yet so not sure if it works(it should) but I got it for very cheap. My apologies for the lack of description, I was a bit excited about the card and forgot to …

Got a few interesting retro hardware recently. Cga cards, Ega/Cga card. A monochrome card. A Vlb IO and Vga card, and an ISA Video card. Filename 20160915_122615.jpg File size 2.7 MiB Views 3052 views

It uses regular 30pin simms, haven't got a dx33 yet to try it, only a dx2-66 (too new for this board). Also the board is massive, especially compared to other 486 motherboards. This is why I thought it might be a server motherboard.

Bought this real cheap, but it is in a terrible shape. Haven't found any info about it on the net. Most likely a 486 server board. Filename 20160912_162401.jpg File size 272.92 KiB Views 3267 views
