Nice, I see dual SLI potential. The appropriate I/O shield is going to be hard to find I'm afraid...

It's a 286 12,5 MHz board (Siemens CPU). Even without a keyboard attached I get the error.

Replaced a keyboard controller with a NOS one. But still a "keyboard controller error, POD error code 17". Back to the drawing board.... Some pictures of the chips and the cleaned surface. Philips P3238 with a NEC board (?) Does anybody know what KBD INH could mean, next to the jumper header?

Exquisit setups people, very nice. I'm posting this because this delightful forum unfortunately lacks a Thumbs Up or Like button.

Those MO drives are sleek and superior, I owned a Fujitsu internal SCSI drive with one Sony 230MB MO-disc. Same tech as MiniDisc of course, but too expensive to be successful. MiniDisc as a music system did not fail if you ask me. I still regret I sold my Sony MZ-RH1, how stupid could I be. *dies in …

I was looking for a V1, then this 6MB Miro came up. The extra memory is not very useful in practice, but it looks cool... I am having a chipset heatsink laying around from an old 440BX board, maybe it will fit on the TMU. And I will have to fix me a VGA cable with a 9 pin mini-DIN connector.

You're welcome! Very nice to read another succesful story on Vogons. 😀 (Late reply, I know.)

That's a familiar case.... A local Dutch IT business called 'Switch' used these housings as well for their Pentium III systems, we used them during college. Different front panel, without the chrome, and narrow, hard to press power/reset button.
Re: Philips P3238 - 286: Discrete graphics card not working
Posted on 2022-03-28, 10:06
Update: Jumper W54 seems to disable the onboard VGA. The Paradise / WD90C31A-LR is now working. But a new problem arose. Maybe because of a lot of turning off and on, the keyboard controller is giving errors (error 17), and the three keyboard leds are emitting constantly. For now I am trying a cmos …
Philips P3238 - 286: Discrete graphics card not working
Posted on 2022-03-25, 12:40
Dear Vogoners, I'm having a hard time getting a WDC / Paradise WD90C31A-LR card working in my 286. The card works fine in a Compaq Prolinea 575 so that's ruled out. When the card installed, I get these beep codes: 1x long, 3x short (video error I guess) 1x long, 3x short (video error, again) long, …

Good question. That 5500 is limited to the PCI bus. Try both and post some benchmarks here, for the greater good.

^^ Very nice. 100MHz FSB with high multiplier are getting rare. On topic; I figured that a Philips sound card (well, just a very nice OPL3 SB clone with a yellow Philips sticker) - would fit nicely in a Philips machine. Everything but period correct in a 80286... but hey, i needed cheap OPL2/3. 😀

You could buy a 72p RAM expansion board for AWE64. Then you can test single modules. No guarantees above 28 Megs. 😁

Loose flat cable, sure. If it's not recognized in the BIOS, you have to open it up, there's no other way I could think.

It al started with AGP 2x, all 3.3V cards. The universal AGP (4x) came out and accepted older and newer cards. This slot has no keying. And last AGP 8x with the key on a different spot than AGP 2x. There is also a card that has universal keying but doesn't work in a AGP 2x slot, can't remember which …

That 6600 is a 1,5V card, it won't fit in a 3,3V slot. But both are AGP.
