Ok, I found one. For some reason I'm able to get a Trendnet Tew-623pi wireless pci adapter to work (revision 1). Don't know why, but it's solid. Hope this helps anyone looking for the same thing.

I was able to find one--If anybody else is looking for a solution that doesn't require you to modify your current card, I'd recommend the Chaintech AV-710. It's a PCI card that has a front panel audio header--Works perfectly in my system! It has the VIA VINYL ENVY24HT-S AUDIO CHIPSET which VIA still …

All, I've got a socket 7 system I've been building and I'm curious when audio headers for front panels became a thing. Did they exist in the early 2000s? My computer is very finicky with PCI revisions and doesn't want to cooperate with PCI 2.2-2.3. Does there exist a PCI 2.1 audio card with Hd-Audio …

Could it be a PCI revision thing? ALi's Aladdin V has a PCI 2.1 bus... It's possible--I haven't looked into this yet, but now I'm excited. Here are the cards I've tried: a TP-Link TL-WN851ND 300Mbps Wireless-N PCI Adapter a Linksys WMP600N Dual-Band Wireless-N PCI Adapter a Linksys WMP54GR 54Mbps …

I have an issue here that has been stumping me for about 2-3 months and I cannot seem to figure it out. Here's what I'm working with: Asus P5A-B Motherboard (Bios: Version 1011.005 Beta Version) AMD K-6-III+/550ACZ CPU (100x5.5) 512 MB PC100 CL2 RAM Promise Ultra133 disk controller Matrox G550 AGP …

I consolidated some files for the TEKRAM DC-680C & DC-680CD VLB Hard Disk/Floppy Controllers. If anybody needs/wants-- Driver Disc Manual Bios v2.03 (1993) Bios v2.06 (1995) Bios v2.09 (1996) https://www.dropbox.com/s/ox5183e02dcgq0n/TEK … -680CD.zip?dl=0

Do you know of any method to test their capacity & speed? Have you seen an instances where they report as 1Mbit, but actually operate at less? I'm able to test chips with a TL866+ for functionality, but not for capacity or speed.

Unfortunately no. So far I've only found them from suppliers in China & Hong Kong, but I don't trust the authenticity... There are tons of the ISSI chips knock offs, but that's a risk. I've gotten bad batches where the chips aren't actually the advertised size or speed. I'm going to continue my …

Apologies, I'm a little late here but I had been wondering the same thing. I've been gathering part numbers for 128kx8 SRAM (attached), but am not sure if any of them are mixed-mode. UMC clearly spells it out on their data sheet, but I haven't checked the others yet. Either way, I've attached some …

I think I'm going to do the same... These 10N's aren't sitting right with me. I'll go ahead and get the 15N's & test them all before installing.

Well... I was about to, but it seems I spoke to soon. I pulled out ALL of the 128kx8 cache chips(1024k total) and replaced them with some smaller 32kx8 chips (256k total). I updated the jumper settings to reflect this, and it powers up no problem. The 128kx8 chips were those ISSI IS61C1024-10N chips …

I hate to revive this, but I'm having a similar issue. I've scoured a few threads on this site where folks have discussed the issues with WB Cache on the VL/i-486sv2gx4, and still can't seem to get my jumper settings correct. My computer also freezes on the "loading ms-dos" step of the boot, and …

...So the throughput can be up TO 133MB/s, but not until... what was it, ATA-7? Which came about a little while after the whole VLB thing came and went. --If I were using an IDE to CF adapter (Rated up to 133MB/s) and a 1066x CF card (Rated up to 160MB/s), what speeds could I reasonably expect to …

Hey all, I've been browsing this site for a few months now and just recently joined. I'm currently building a 486 and have been knocking the dust off some of my previous knowledge. It's been decades since I've owned one, but the more I dive in the more comes back to me. I've got a couple of …
