I fixed something like this before. You've got to pick the right LED that works with your game. With a 560 Ohm resistor (probably what yours is because of its colours) and the 9V from the batteries, a regular red LED that needs 20mA should be good. Your 20mA LEDs might be just what you need. I found …

For playing music on an Amiga 500, I've had a good time using DeliTracker and EaglePlayer. They work well for playing music files like MOD, XM, and others. They're easy to use and can handle many music formats, which is excellent for your Amiga. About upgrading your Kickstart ROM, it's usually okay …

When hooking up an external battery to a Vippo VL+ 486 mainboard, it's essential to use the correct voltage. Make sure to check what your mainboard needs. It can be a battery or a cell, as long as the voltage matches the required. I had to figure out something similar with my gadgets. I found a …

glad you sorted it out, but of course they don't install because they are windows 2000 drivers. I never advised to install them.

it didn't come with 98se it came with windows 2000, but it can run 98se. If you need drivers you have to find them yourself. download the 2000 drivers and extract them once you know what the driver is for search the web for a 98 version, Pro tip it runs on a 810 or 815 mobile chipset uses infinst …

There are some things that depend on other things, and since I don't think anything can depend on the SBPCI, it should be safe to put that one last. However, multiple boot menus can complicate things a bit. You can always copy&paste these files here and get advice, if not sure. If I Attach the …
