So I thought I'd receive a very simple straight adapter, with just no connection on 4 pins used for new mobos. like that : 1.jpg When I placed the order, I saw what I expected : 2.jpg BUT ! …

I found someone giving for free some ATA and floppies Cables. Just had to pay 3$ for shipping I actually received all this stuff, adapters, RAMs, and a SCSI Card 😀 Always nice to "save" this kind of all stuff even if I actually don't need them 😉 Filename 2021-06-18 18.41.23.jpg File size 1.27 MiB …

I'm guessing the center pin on each row goes to a different signal connection, probably on that CH7007A chip. The outer pins on each row are probably +5V and GND, or similar. Setting the jumpers would signal each of those lines with one of those voltage levels. That was a good guess and advice So I …

Hi guys I just got a Geforce 2 GTS but I would like your input before I try to plug it. On the first picture you can see a jumper on the top left corner, near the GPU Heatsink. The current position is maybe the right one, maybe not. I do not understand how it supposed to be set. Having a closer view …
