I can't seem to find the P3B-F BIOS anymore... even the version prior to the VCore change... I was going to try flashing mine tomorrow lol Sorry about that! Until the bug has been confirmed resolved, here's the last released build before the possibly problematic change. 2x115MHz FSB‼‼ Working like …

I mean the "8GB limit" only applies to the capacity you can use. There is nothing stopping you using the first 8GB of a 140GB drive if you want to!

You actually can load soundfonts in XP if you use the NT4 driver for the synth and run AWE Control Panel in NT4 compatibility mode.

I can go along with that, although I still find it a bit weird to show a 387 on a 286 system. What would you say if I changed the 387 indication to 287XL for 286 systems only, while keeping the 80287 indication for the original 287 FPU? That sounds like a good plan. Even better, I think you can …

No, I prevented that. Although the 287XL is build on a 387 core with its better performance, it is still a 287 FPU in a 287 socket. CHKCPU would indeed detect the 287XL as a 387 but because it runs on a 80286 system, I let CHKCPU display it as a 80287. Displaying a 387 FPU on a 286 system would be …

What I meant by the ‘generic’ FPU indication is that when CHKCPU shows a 80287, it can be an Intel 80287, 80287XL, AMD 80C287, Cyrix 82S87, or IIT 2C87. Likewise, an indicated 387 can be an Intel 80387, 387DX, 387SX, 387SL, IIT 3C87, 3C87SX, 4C87, Cyrix 83D87/387+, 83S87, EMC87, 487S/DLC, ULSI …

So the bugfix you alluded to in the previous post regarding the FPU type has not yet been implemented?
