Ok thank you. I just thought genuine MV cards had a extra part number like 650-0007-03 or something on the pcb. C1 looks better in reality, it just bent, but looks solid. I already replaced one capacitor which was partly ripped off before. Don't really feel like doing all of them tbh, since I don't …

Recently got this card in a lot, but I can't identify it. Didn't find a match in gerwins list or the MV database from vogonsdrivers. There is no part number on it so maybe it's an oem card/clone? It's got a few MV chips: Jazz16 MVD1216b, MVA416, MVA514, also a LMSI/2 CD Rom Interface with an NCR …

Hey everybody, got back in the hobby again and decided to revisit an old project of mine. I’ve got this UM8810PAIO rev 2.1 board I got ages ago as my first ever retro pc purchase. I remember doing some testing with a torn apart keyboard and something went wrong, the board made a lot of unhappy beeps …

I‘ve finally finished my card, too. Took me a while just soldering parts here and there when there was time on hand. It might not be the cleanest looking Blasterboard around, far from it, but it worked first try so thats good with me (well technically second try but I think jumpering it wrong …

Mine also arrived today. The kit looks superb, the manual is a real nice touch! I thought about socketing all the chips, are there any chips were this isn't recommended?

found a 486 board with PCI, VLB, 72 pin simms, CELP slot for l2 cache, and a cr2032 battery for a decent price off of ebay. also has a AMI WinBIOS https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/7dUAAOSwh6pcqVno/s-l1600.jpg In case you don't know, this is a PC Chips M919 and you can't use a standard cache module …

It seems like every board with that UMC ISA/PCI chipset has that "problem". My ATC1415 has 2 ide but no floppy and same for my pcchips M915i which also uses the same chipset. Are you referring to the UMC8881/8886? In that case I don't think so since for example the M919 or the HOT-433 use the same …

Would you be so kind to maybe provide the exact name of the ebay listing so I can check out it aswell? I've checked every Matrox Millenium on ebay.nl and couldn't find it. He was referring to the monitors, not the Matrox card. Oh snap you are right. I guess my brain read what it wanted to read :D

Out of interest: on my MCE2VGA the numbering of the dipswitches was exactly reversed between documentation and device (i.e. 1234 instead of 4321). Is that the case on yours too? Yes, mine is reversed as well. Do you know if DIP1 is now DIP4 or is what the manual calls DIP1 still DIP1 just in the …

That little police car computer is so damn cool. If I even happen to run a fallout theme park I know what to look for! I myself finally fallen for the temptation and placed an order at everybody favorite belgiam online shop around here 😀 So much stuff to play around with now.

That's great :) I'm glad yours is working, I posted my experience with the FIC 486-VIP IO2 the other day, where I haven't been so lucky yet. I didn't spot that memory configuration quirk in the manual, maybe that's what's stopped mine from working. :) The manuals that I can find for the the VIP IO2 …

BTW, how's your PPro gear working out or have you had time? Quite good I'd say. I've played with my dual PPro quite a bit. I managed to install Red Hat Linux 6.2 on the system. At first it always failed to install anything and any Linux would just kernel panic left and right. Turns out one of the …

I've received my untested FIC 486-VIP-IO from the Ukraine a couple of days ago. I’ve now spent a good 3 hours over the last couple of days on this board, because holy there are a lot of jumpers on this board. I was about pretty sure this thing was dead because there was nothing on the POST card no …
