OK, old thread however I think I've finally solved it. As I have been testing various boards over the years it became apparent it was working fine (with what I had) on every motherboard except Gigabyte boards. I noticed a few other people had ones with a firmware version of 'Sintechi hightspeed SD …

Or even just the jumper settings for the daughter board so I can upgrade the CPU to a DX/2 66. Thanks

I've tried both a 80 and 40 pin wire. No luck.

I have only got one CF to IDE and thats in the 486. Might try a SATA to IDE and see if I am happy with that before I spend any more money. The main aim here was to get something without moving parts that would work in Win 98 easily and quickly. Ta

hi, I've tried both settings with no luck 🙁

Hi all I recently got one of these SD to CF adapters ('Sintechi hightspeed SD to CF adapter v1.0' is that is shows in the BIOS). It works when it is the only thing connected to either of the IDE cables, but as soon as I want to introduce anything else I.e. CD drive, into the mix those items I add …

Hi, does anyone know where you can get a PDF copy of the manual for a Elonex PC-425X Manual? Thanks

Humm, certainly something to consider. Need to be carefully the PSU won't go pop soon though...

Don't worry its already burst trying to find a ATX to AT adapter (since I can not find a AT PSU (or an AT case for that matter)) that appears to be safe and won't cost too much. Anyway,m thanks for pointing that out. Still trying to orientate myself here.

Hi, does anyone know of a good place to get something like this (Ebay UK item # 251025150787) in the UK? The postage on this is more than the item and if you want more than one customs want their pound of flesh. Thanks P.S. I'm assuming this form is OK for this topic? Edit: Ugh, removed ebay link …

Sounds like a good idea. I'll see what I can knock up.

Losing my 5x86 setup. Had a decient sound and video card in it too.

I suppose my main fear is if I move/knock whatever they are stored in damaage them that way. I have been known to drop things from time to time. 🙁 I'll take a look at the boxes I have, maybe I can put some padding. Thanks

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. Hopefully doing more posting going forwards! What do people recommend for storing PGA CPUs safely? I can store come on motherboards but the rest are placed in pairs with the pins of each one placed together to try and avoid bending them. Does anyone else know …
