Hi, Doesn anyone know which (e)eproms that 3com 3c905B-TXNM network cards support? Want to use one for XT-IDE but it seems that the AT28C256 doesnt work but it may be I have it configured wrongly. The eprom works fine in one of my other network cards so the rom is ok. The 3com has a 32 pin socket. …

Hi, Im trying to get some modem/teminal software onto a CPM-86 "disk" I'm booting CP/M-86 using the serial port disk in XT-IDE (I dont have a real floppy drive) which works fine. However, I need to get a serial transfer program onto a CP/M disk to run. I was hoping I could just use dos but, of …

is it possible to tell if this slocket is 133MHz capable and fcpga? it doesnt seem to be in that guide but does look similar to the one marked as "AA370P (marketed as Matrix & Evercool) 370CPU rev 1.0 FCPGA Coppermine / 133 / auto voltage / no voltage clamp " - however a few others look similar too …

Re: CF vs DOM vs SSD

Running the CFs in a USB2 card reader on my win10 system on roadkill disk speed, I get: Transcend - max read 15.25MB/sec Indmem - max read 14.50MB/sec Your spreadsheet seems to show that the SD card readers are indeed quite a lot slower than CF if I understand it correctly?

Sure and certain. You can do fast format, but not long format... Long format is useful if you have a protected disc and you forgot the password... With IomegaWare software you can test a cartridge to see if the drive and the cartridge is working . That's because IomegaWare "long format" would be …

250 MB ZIP drive are not fully compatible with 100 MB cartridge. You cannot do a full format. If the disk is protected, you need the Iomega Tools software to access it. Without it Windows XP may not recognize it. If the cartridge works in a ZIP 100 drive and it is not protected, it can be a drive …

Before blaming the motherboard it may be an idea to try a more reputable slotket than the two that were used up to now. Intel published a list with slotkets that passed and did not pass their voltage requirements testing in 2000 (see attached). The "A" slotket in this thread is a PPGA Celeron …

MSI MS-6119 seems to officially support only 100Mhz FSB. I would first get a system stable at that frequency before going higher. At 112MHz fsb it is stable. Oddly, at 100MHz it isnt. The fun I have with this stuff is just seeing if I can push it. The easiest approach would be to buy a P3 133MHz …

To do list for Slotket B: *check whether G35 and G37 pins are connected, if not, short them. If 1st requirement in the list isn't met, connect these pins to V_1.5 also; *check whether V_CMOS (AB36) is shorted to V_1.5 (AD36) or V_2.5 (Z36) on the slotket, if it's shorted to V_2.5, remove the short …

I wish I had the PNP version though so I could play with the CPU multipliers. I wonder what happens if I install the wrong bios.. I would maybe try it if I had a spare chip and programming tool. The CPUs are multiplier locked. The only difference with the PnP model is you can change the FSB in bios …
