I can imagine. Looks like the Holy Grail (: On Ali there are new motherboards with socket 478, AGP and ISA slots. No SATA as far as I can tell. Based on the 845GV chipset. Like this one: Filename 845GV-motherboard-with-3IAS-Slot-478PIN-845-ISA-motherboard-Well-Tested-Working.jpg_640x640.jpg File …

Arrived today. A special motherboard, at least that seems so to me. On it a Cyrix MII 300 CPU. Special to me because I have never seen a socket 370 motherboard with EDO ram. Nice with ISA slots. Maybe this will be the base of my new favorite DOS/Win98 system (: You still haven't. This is a GVC- …

It's a Pentium 166MMX with a 2.1 Quantum Bigboot installed. The HDD is pretty slow and not big enough for my needs. I've searched the net and found an manual for a corresponding model that supports 4.3. But will that be the maximum size?

I just investigated on an industrial PC I bought a while ago. It contains a Celeron 850 and was used to control a hydro system in an agricultural company. Had some altered version of Windows 98 on it. It boots only half of the time and I do not have use for it, so it goes on Ebay. 20190210_141452 ( …

A lovely jvc tm-h1700g video monitor. With composite and s-video connections. It lacks RGB, but makes more then up for that with 750 lines horizontal resolution.

I installed Windows 98SE on an IBM Netvista P3 866 I bought a few weeks ago. The harddrive was faulty and refused starting up half of the time. So I've added an IDE to CF adapter and a 32Gb card. Ran into problems with the installed Creative Labs CT4700 (PCI128) card. The IBM won't let me play with …
