Lovely PC. A nice, clean build. Parts fit well with each other and you can always slowdown those "+" CPU's via software if you ever need to. Some benchmarks?

apparently the packages to AU were blocked by the export center because of "included batteries" and they are being sent back this mess will be sorted out, still it is an added delay - someone in the post needs a slap or something :\ will update the affected people as things get more clear in the …
Re: Voodooo 2 in game colour issue
Posted on 2025-03-04, 21:43
@leileilol - haven't changed anything really, it's all at default. @Joachim - tested with 3 different cables, voodoo connected straight to monitor as well to eliminate that cause completely. CRT and LCD both show same issue. I'll search for software to test colour palette.
Re: Voodooo 2 in game colour issue
Posted on 2025-03-04, 11:56
Yes, the issue is still present when only one card is used, on both cards. However, not as pronounced. Both cards present the exact same issue. I think it's hardware related, a cold solder joint somewhere maybe...
Voodooo 2 in game colour issue
Posted on 2025-03-04, 08:43
Hello everyone. Just wondering if I could get some help with an issue that I have with my x 2 Vooddoo 2's - Diamond Multimedia. The cards themselves are like new, I guess they've seen very little use, however, I have this colouring issue when playing Diablo 2. It only seems to affect when there's " …

What do you mean your cable has 2 hdd and one floppy connector? They can't be both on the same cable.
Re: 5.25 floppy drive question

The older type cable comes with both connectors, for 3.5 and 5,25.
Re: Fixing Fan Noise

Once open ideally you want to replace the fan and a capacitor check while in there. Make sure none are bulged. The fan might be connected to the PSU board with a 2 pin connector (lucky if that's the case) , or just soldered. I just clip the wires on the upper end and solder together with the ones …
Re: Games that don't run properly on faster CPUs

One game i never have the luck to make it work in right speed is Alien Trilogy In a mid 486 is slow, in a DX4 or cyrix 5x86 is much better but in small areas or near wall fast and ruin experience, in a pentium is too fast... Funny you mention this game, one of my favourites as well. I have the CD …

@luckybob Yeah, it wouldn't be difficult to get that in with a ML2032 battery. Thanks again.
Re: Help identifying motherboard
Posted on 2024-07-03, 09:41
Yes, luckily the damage is minimal. Almost no leakage/damage at all actually. I agree, this looks very mild compared to other cases I've seen, including yours, Aui. It's promptly getting replaced. Couldn't find any external battery pins so will get a new one with same values/rechargeable. Thanks …
Re: Help identifying motherboard
Posted on 2024-07-03, 00:37
Thank you very much for that, luckybob. The board does seem to be somewhat obscure, there's not much info on it. It's a simple board anyway, shouldn't be too difficult figuring out the few jumpers it has. Thanks again for your help!
Help identifying motherboard
Posted on 2024-07-02, 23:34
Hi all. I'm turning to the community with a request to help identifying a motherboard that I have recently acquired. It's got i386 sx CPU but there are no specific markings to identify it. Google lens only found one other board similar to this one but I was unable to get any info on it as it was an …

Well, I read through and while I can't give you advice on your specific issue, know that you are not alone in these kind of situations. I spent hours the other day trying to set up the display on my 486 pc. After many hours in crunch position, a lot of cussing with trial and error, playing with the …
Re: Voodoo2HM.exe or Fast Voodoo 4.6 for Voodoo 2 SLI?
Posted on 2024-04-25, 00:08
Yes, you're right. I've noticed that as well in my system when I had the SLI set up for testing. I've got the official drivers and some demo games to test them. Tomb raider 2 works well but another flight sim gives black screens and other issues. 3dMark 99 doesn't work. Switching to alternative …
Re: Programming EMS mobile radio requiring DOS with windows 10
Posted on 2024-04-03, 10:30
So the software to program the radio needs to be executed in DOS in order to function. The software package has an executable file to run it, something like "setup.exe" , where "setup" can have a different name. In order to run it though, like we discussed, requires you to run in in DOS. I think the …
Re: Programming EMS mobile radio requiring DOS with windows 10
Posted on 2024-03-31, 13:01
So the program runs in DOS, and when you say mount, do you mean run an .exe file ? If so, then perhaps FreeDOS is the way as suggested. You could burn it on a CD and run it in a live environment, have the USB with the programming software plugged in as well and mind the drive letter assigned to the …

This is what I also consider a pizza box PC, nice slim case. Building something similar, however around a socket 5 CPU. Would have been great if you had capacity for an Isa sound card, but the Lpt opl3 does the job nicely as well.Kinda hard to get everything crammed in there whilst keeping it …
Re: SOYO SY-025L2 VLB CMOS Battery

Looks similar to mine. Those pins on the left, bellow where the barrel battery used to be, aren't those to attach an external battery? That's how I've got mine, connected to X 3 AA batteries and no need for anything else. Unless of course you really keen on installing a battery or coin battery with …
