You need the 32 bit TCP/IP stack for Windows 3.11. Also what I did in my network was installing a raspberry pi (can be any Linux machine really) with samba installed, because modern windows don't use the exact same protocol. This allows me to put files on it from modern computers, and then get them …

Thanks for reply. Still no joy with uniflash. I tried backing up the p2b bios from its own chip and flashing it to the p3b chip to prove the chip was ok, rebooted fine so proves chip working. Then reflashed the both p3b backup i had made and the downloaded bios from asus, both times the p3b board …

Asus P3b-f board, tried using aflash to update to latest bios. During this the dog trod on the power strip and cut the power, board now wont boot. Tried hot swapping the bios chip into a p2b board when running and then running aflash, says its erased and programmed it with the p3b bios after the …

Picked this up the other day in a box of assorted stuff for £2 at a local auction. No power supply, but managed to make one up from an old Asus laptop L1A PSU and a dell plug. The HDD was missing along with its tray but the cover was present so can only assume someone cut it away trying to squeeze a …

Thanks for info. Would this be considered a better board for a P166 build than an Asus VX97 (currently untested) that I also have? Pics..

Gotta be a dolphin then!

Fishing lure.

In amongst the pile of pcs i bought last week is one with an at motherboard and a 200 mhz processor. Took it apart for cleaning and marked on the back of the board is Elpina BA E-VO 9812. A google suggested elpina is a pc chips board, but that number doesnt come up with any search results. A search …

Photos or it didn't happen. :-) https://img.techpowerup.org/181109/20181109-143925.jpg Started going through them making a rough list so i can decide what to keep... 1 BCOM sticker – do not remove BBC radio Merseyside 52x cd rom fdd ide to sata converter 40g ide hdd Gigabyte GA-6VEML – caps good …

Been looking for a case and a mobo for a little while for a 1999ish build, everything on ebay expensive or wont ship. Spotted a listing for pallet of 25 pcs with hdd removed for spares 2 hours away. The cases looked good and i figured i could build at least a couple out of the spares, keep some for …

Thanks. Very helpful advice.

Thanks for reply. So i assume that the burning near the resistors is due to the conductivity of the compound, and that if just scraped off should be fine. Is the compound applied like hot glue would be, ie to one edge of the cap and the board to fix, or would it be underneath the caps and require …

Checked the motherboard of the Compaq that I picked up last week, all looks good - no bulging and no leakage. Took the top off the working PSU and was met with yellow gunk round a lot of the capacitors, but no bulging or lifting off the PCB although some are at a bit of an angle. Looked for some …

I tried cloning hdd to cf using dd in ubuntu, clone was successful but the compaq wont boot with anything other than cable select on the ide. My cf to ide adaptors both only have master/slave jumper so it was a no go, unless they are available with cs?

Bought today - three fujitsu 15 inch lcd, 6 Dell GX620 with DVD's (1 missing a few bits, 4 power supplies - P4 3.2 gig, one gig ram, various sized HDD), 2 dell smart card keyboards, 2 dell keyboards, 4 dell mice, one black dell monitor. Will keep a couple, Ebay or swap the rest for other gear.. …

Partial success, it seems that you cant (unless there's another way I didnt try) use drive overlay software which I need to get the BIOS to accept the drive (although it still needs an F1 press to boot) in conjunction with the Compaq setup floppies to retain the on disk setup utility. Sacrificed the …

Hey, new member and straight in with a question if i may. I was given a Compaq deskpro 2000 as well as the original ps2 keyboard and mouse the other day, that had spent its life in a cupboard as a barcode reader for clock cards and so physically is in very good condition. It was running win 2000, i …
