You can always use a network bridge between your IPv4 client and the IPv6 network.

That EVGA 450 BT is most likely not a good PSU for this old system, because it seems to be group regulated (i.e. its performance in cross loads is horrible so it will shut down, reset or freeze your system). An old i440BX needs also a pretty strong (high amp) +5V and +3.3V output. New power …

Gigabyte GA-BX2000(+) is a great and ultra-stable board but steer clear if you plan to use a Voodoo 3; it has compatibility jumpers for out of spec AGP voltage but even so neither of the two boards I have work reliably with one. Otherwise, it's fantastic. I would advise you to steer clear of ABIT …

Much appreciated; I will of course pay for whatever the MCU and flashing it costs. Getting the part would be no issue anyway, nogetting it flashed here is an unlikely prospect for me though unless I invest in a flasher, which I really hope I wouldn't have to 😀

Getting it flashed hereabouts will likely be difficult so maybe if someone can source two and flash one for me, then send it my way I would be happy to pay for it. Come to think of it, would you help me out with that root42, if you haven't already sourced yours yet? As you will send me the PCB …

Fantastic news. I'll be paypaling you the amount soon. :cool: Now I can start trying to source the parts.. I guess the issue of sourcing a later DSP version has not been resolved yet? Is there a project list of parts to order for this, on mouser or whatever? I really look forward to using this in my …

I remember using FUFME for online adult games in the early 2000s, needless to say it really enhanced the experience.

I haven't found much lately. Got two too new systems for free, one is based on an Sempron 3400+, the other one E6550. Also for free Radeon 9800 and some DDr400 memory. What I bought in retro hardware fits in one picture sadly :depressed: IMG_2195s.jpg Two soundcards, "Asound Gold" and Terratec …

Already sent the AT io shield to a local 3d printer for five copies (four of which I will likely never use but why not..) Did you send the updated .stl? Added it just before you posted, a minor cosmetic fix. If not, there might still be time to do it before he starts printing. Yeah I sent the v0.4 …

The second test print turned out quite okay, but I'm still not fully satisfied. There's still some surface roughness at the DB ports cutout indications, so tomorrow I'll try to narrow them down a bit and go back to 0.5 mm thickness. After finding the connector for the PS/2 bracket, it became …
