Hey all, dusting off a months old thread here. I've been scouring the web and of course here on Vogons with no luck finding the manual for this motherboard. Any chance someone can upload a PDF of it here? Also how can I tell what rev my motherboard is? I can't seem to find it silk screened on the …

Hey thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep searching for that -5v sound card list. Haven't found it yet. I think the search engine works similar to google when putting a "-" in front of something means one doesn't want to include it in search. So I have been searching for "5v soundcard/sound card". I …

Greetings, I searched around on the forums and wasn't able to find the answer so hopefully someone can point me at a thread that already covered this exact topic. I recently got my hands on an elusive (for me anyway, and not ebay prices) 386. This one is a 386 DX33. With all the old hardware and PSU …

Yay Japan trip put a bit of a wrench in my video releases but finally got a new video out. This one was a little bit of a train wreck but I took the chance to do some more creative editing and add a little (more) humor here and there. Hope you like it. Unboxing and gameplay of Planey X3 for MS-DOS …

So this is a C64 clone board you can mount in a regular PC case? This is leaning outside the topic of this thread but, no it's similar architecture but by it's nature it's too different to just run "out of the box" C64 software. That said I think this is a good things. It will be a much more …

I'm really interested in one of these, but now I'm conflicted, because I really want a Commander X16, and I can't afford both :( This is just me, but if I get one of these I plan on waiting till at least his ITX version. The mATX version is really more of a dev board so people can start writing/ …

Glad you enjoyed it! It really is some special hardware. I'll be doing a followup to the video going over some of the things that didn't quite go as planned in the video as soon as I can. Thanks for the great feedback.

Quick side note on Graphics. I downloaded a bunch of games from myabandonware and found almost all of them worked in any mode. CGA seemed to be the most flaky though. You could be able to use any vintage 8-bit video adapter with the NuXT. Just disable onboard video and make sure that the upper …

Oh hey BTW, HasNoPants, as you know I got the same IO card you did. Thanks for the link to that BTW! If you watched my video on the NuXT, you saw that I was having issues getting the NuXT to play nice with the IO card. I found that I had to move the serial port (and IRQ) on the NuXT to COM 2. Then …

Unboxing and part 1 of my Monotech PC NuXT build. Unfortunately after like 6 render attempts I finally got it to work but there is a short section from about 3:53 to 4:31 where the video blanks out several times. You can skip it or tough through it. It was 3 hours of troubleshooting then 3+ hours of …

Woot! NuXT showed up. It's still inside the shipping box. Will be working on a build video tonight including an unboxing. Should have the video released by Sunday at the latest. As badly as I wanted to open it here at work, it's gotta wait for the unboxing vid. Yay. I also got some slick VGA capture …

Holy cow! That looks amazing! The back plate is not at all what I was expecting. I thought it would be some basic stamped metal or something. Looks like it's held on with the screws from VGA and Serial. This is like 100 times better than a stamped metal. Level of excitement increasing! Would really …

Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure I 100% agree with the 'Just by any VLB card and be done with it' advice (I see where you are coming from though, and it's not an advice one can really argue against to be honest) because if your motherboard has PCI slots then there are probably a lot of less …

I have a NuXT and it's great but I really want a 286/386 version! Ahh when did you get your NuXT? Post some pics? If something like a 386 "NuAT" was released. Even if it was something like an SX25 or something I would scoop it up in a second! That said the NuXT should be a lot of fun. Well that and …
