... it seems to depend on the tag RAM chip. If it's an 8-bit tag, it's 64MB, if an 11b tag, 512MB. So the physical (little) chip needs checking. It may be on the COAST module. How to check it? 512Mb is more than enough anyway, I lived on a Pentium 200/64 for a few years and it was okay for me. For …

I had no time to disassemble it properly yet, but there is a little hatch under the keyboard. Under the lid there is a typical Socket-7 slot with a Pentium-S 133 under a little bit unusual cooler, cache slot with 512k of cache, 4 SiMM slots, with two of them occupied by 16mb SiMMs (I have another …

I have got a 50-pin ST51080N Seagate Medalist, but some components are missing. If somebody here have the same HDD and can make a scan or a good photo of its underbelly, I would try to recognize and replace them. Click to enlarge:

Here is a pretty good patch for supporting USB thumb drives in 98SE. I had used this patch with no issues on 3-4 Win98-computers. But the author tells it can cause some problems with IEEE1394. Right now I am using it for my PIII-1000 and P-200, both are 98SE. Filename nusb122.exe File size 88.5 KiB …
