Just a quick follow-up. I soldered on a new capacitor, powered it on, and POOF the capacitor next to it blew out. Same one as the earlier poster. This resulted in a small golden-hot projectile being forcefully ejected from the card and promptly landing on the carpet, burning a small capacitor-sized …

FWIW, I ordered this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33037705524.html Different board,m same idea. Took 7 weeks to arrive, will see if it works. My use case is just as a USB port under W95 and have not tested yet.

For what it's worth, the SCSI2SD card can also emulate a CDROM device. It's not useful for general purpose retro computing because you have to basically dd your image file to a specific location on the SD card, but it works pretty well for more 'permanent' use of CD images such as operating system …

Thank you all again for the suggestions - I figured it out. The SCSI2SD has two power connections, one to the PSU in the computer and a second to a micro-USB connection to a secondary PC (for configuration). When you change the config, the new settings don't "take" until the device is powered off. …

First of all, thank you for the replies - it was helpful. The termination was a big win, SCSI2SD functions properly now - but still limited to 2 drives. The detection process for the Adaptec card shows only 2 upon boot. I confirmed in SCSI2SD that it has a total of 6 devices configured and enabled @ …

That is a good point, I haven't tried to load any ASPI drivers yet - was figuring I should see each drive show up during detection by the Adaptec card. I'll load an OS and see what happens. Thank you, that's helpful. Does SCSI have an order for cabling? Assuming unique SCSI IDs, does it matter that …

Question that someone here might be able to help with. I have a very old 486 with an AMIBIOS from 1991. ISA only, no onboard controllers of any kind - no IDE, no serial, nothing. All requires external cards. I have an Adaptec 1540CP, BIOS C7AA/1.03. Using it with a SCSI2SD v6 card with firmware …

My motherboard has a very limited set of options, it's an ISA-only board with a 1991 BIOS. Right now the 1540CP is set to 5MB/s and the SCSI2SD is set to "No limit (safe)" but with "Enable SCSI2 Mode" checked. I'll benchmark it as-is with the working config and see if I can adjust one or both to get …

Can the folks doing benchmarks also please share their scsi2sd and card BIOS configs? IE - how do you have the SCSI speed limits set, are you enabling SCSI2 mode, for the BIOS on the card are you limiting it to 5MB/s or allowing 10MB/s? Asking as my 1540CP required the BIOS to be set at 5MB/sec to …

I just picked up a SIIG IO-1809 ISA controller from eBay, new old stock. Came with a manual so I took the time to scan it to PDF, please find it attached. I would like to upload to Vogons Driver Library but I don't have permission. Could someone here please upload? I wasn't able to find this …

Thank you, I ordered the 20% and I'll give it a shot once they arrive. I'll take before/after pics and a video when I actually try to plug it in and turn on the computer. Was a nice little fireball and grey electrical smoke when the capacitor blew. Hoping for less drama this time 😀

Thanks all. RE: CPUs, I have an overdrive 100 in now with a voltage regulator. Also just bought an Evergreen 5x86 which has a built-in voltage regulator. RE: capacitors, I'm under the idea that I can and should replace the one that burned out. I'll just start with that one, using a straight …

This thread was incredibly helpful to me in getting this working, so here's a more detailed set of instructions on my process end-to-end. 1. Bought an XTIDE card that can also flash EEPROMs, in my case Blue Lava Systems XT-IDE rev 4.1. Note that this uses address 300h by default. https://www. …

Very helpful so far, thanks to each of you. I measured the existing capacitor and they are about 5.68mm high (just the blue part of it, from bottom to top of the capacitor on the board) and 3.25mm wide. If I select the higher temperature (up to 125c) and size/dimension of 5.50mm (closest to the …

Small world, I have the very same system - serial # 315183, only 4 higher than yours! And even more strange, as I pulled it out to try to get it going again I had the very same thing happen with the video card in almost the same place. Your C13 tantalum cap blew, my C14 cap blew - right next to it. …

-A GA-486US user's manual, which, from my knowledge, was a Gigabyte motherboard used with 486 machines: https://i.imgur.com/X7NQbkK.jpg @dickkickem any chance you still have that GA-486US manual? And if so would you be willing to either part with it or take pictures of the pages? There is an …
