I did a long search for cardbus pcmcia card drivers e.g. pcmcia to ata or pcmcia scsi for my external PD drives, DVDRAM etc. I searched a lot of Japanese pages, it took me a few days, here are the results. Here is pack for CSBC2, LF-UC15, Macnica, Miracle,Ratoc, SCSI2SE adaptors. All for NT4,W9X or …

Hey, I'm happy to learn that this might be useful for you. I printed the parts with PLA and used Loctite super glue (the basic stuff, just the version that comes with a brush). I realized I never uploaded pics of the end result, so here they are (you'll notice I was lazy to not properly color match …
Garbled graphics on Voodoo 3 1000
Posted on 2022-01-15, 01:43
Hi folks, I've recently purchased this Voodoo 3 1000 from eBay (see attached pictures). The first tests showed a very garbled image. I saw that some caps had some dents on them (as in 20220112_013008.jpg), so I've replaced all 5 electrolytical caps (with same spec ones from Panasonic). After the …

Thank you folks! I've just purchased the UV solder mask stuff (UVH900). Once I apply it in the board (after a little more cleaning) I will post an update here.

I've replaced the bad/missing caps, changed the xtal to a 25Mhz, changed the time crystal and it worked! Very very happy here. I've already dumped the BIOS (attached) and took some pictures from NSSI. The board has 64K of cache. Really nice to see Microcache TM in action. Nice. Of course, now the …
Do I need to treat exposed copper in boards?
Posted on 2022-01-06, 16:11
Hi folks, I got this baby AT (quite pretty I must say) that came with severe damage from a leaked battery. It came almost clean and I further cleaned it up (dessoldered din to remove left over leak residue). There is some blue ink hue, as I initially thought it was a good idea to cover the copper …

Thanks computerguy. Alpm, Just thought, any markings on the backs of this board, or that other 386 one ( https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=85483 )? Maybe an FCC marking? Pictures of board backs are handy for ultimate retro anyway. Great point! I will post pictures of the back of these …

I always like the boards that have a socketted 386SX. Although it looks to be manufactured in late 1991, the sticker indicates it was sold in 1993, which is pretty darn late for a 386SX-20. This is also the first time I've seen the TI chipset used on a 386SX. It might be interesting to see if this …

Awesome, thank you!!! I think I might have described things poorly, so a few notes on the diagram image: I think this board has no cache on it. Mine has a 40Mhz xtal on it (20Mhz CPU) SL1 is actually SL17, SL1 is the 8-bit ISA on the left of it. Apart from those minor details, it looks just perfect …

I cleaned those points and it turned on! It had stopped turning on and was in the three long beep state. Now it is in an infinite boot loop: right after the memory test the system beeps and restarts a few times and eventually ends up with "CMOS Inoperational. System halted" with serveral loud short …
