Just for your reference, this PC was made by Olivetti, originally it should be a M4 Modulo P75. So you can swap the processor up to 200 Mhz (without MMX!) . The Olivetti own version has a slightly different frontpanel, that's it. Can you please check the on mainboard printed BAxxx number and post …

Hello, here in Europe DEC (Digital Equipement Corp, the one with the VAXses) sold Olivetti PCs under their name. They were exactly the same, just different branding. For example DECstation 320 seems to be the same as Olivetti M300-10. Only the front panel of the Celebris/Venturis machines was a bit …

Just found this. Envision 400 and P75 were designed for the first version of Windows 95. But originally Envision comes with a lot of extra drivers. If you need them, I can share. I have working P75 with all what is necessary.

Good evening :) So, i've just got my POST card as someone mentionned i should try it out to see what happends, so here we go the result : Olivetti BIOS does not output anything on port 80h POST diagnostics cards. Instead they output on LPT1. In eBay sometimes there are LPT plugs with the LED …

Re: Any opration system which runs on an i860 CPU in a 486 system?

Interesting, but the i860 is not included as a coprocessor in this system, it can switch the main processor betwenn 486 and i860. The boards boots with the 486, but the i860 can be activated by software to take over the full controll, and can give it back. So it is possible to run a native i860 OS, …

There were a few 486 mainboards where an i860 could be installed, Olivetti LSX 5010/5020, CP-486 and M480, Hauppage 4860 mainboard for example. Is there any operation system which is able to use the i860 processor on such a system? I have already checked, my result is until now, no. Wikipedia says …

I have a driver for a TIGA Graphics card, just imaged from diskettes. How to donate it to vogonsdrivers website? Before upload I also need to scan some pages from user manuals for hardware settings.

No, it's a 80386DX-33 machine upgraded with the TI486 (Cyrix) CPU. So it's fully 32 bit on the mainboard, but not the ISA cards. Maybe soon I have two interesting real 486DX machines to benchmark. First I need to restaurate them. These machines have no setting for clock speed or voltage, so …

I have tryed the last hwinfo version for DOS on an Olivetti machine. It detects the BIOS as unknown manufacturer while Checkit 3.0 detects it correctly as Olivetti. It also detects my Trident 8900C VGA card as a Trident 8900A/B.

A Windows 3.11 version (with Win32s installed) of CPU-Z would be fine. I think my TI486slc/IIT387 machine would be too slow for Win 9x.

I have not checked the full thread of this on 12 pages, but what I saw is very interesting, but I can't see which benchmark tools are you using for this. Has anybody put the Cyrix/TI 486SLC in coparison? I know, it is a "486" CPU for 386 systems, and a quick benchmark in Checkit 3.0 says, that it …
