I'd like to share my latest build. Actually, I should really call it a rebuild as most of the components I've owned since new. My goal was to recreate a Windows gamer system (no DOS) based on hardware and software from '98 to mid 2001. DX9 arrived around mid 2001 and by October, XP. I wanted to …

The 1998 gaming rig Majority of its has an 1998 manufacturing date and older. OS, BIOS, PSU, HDD, FDD are the only parts newer than 1998. Monitor and keyboard are just what I have on hand. I though it would be a bit of pain of trying to install Win98se using scsi cd rom and scsi drive. Win98se found …

The TI TLC34076-170FN doesn't add anything over the 135 speced part. It was only ones I could find, and was only in bulk. To replace the 68830P-80 Ramdac. If you already have the TI TLC34076-135, no real point of getting the 170 ramdac. If you have a card with the ATI 68830P ramdac and have a PLCC …

I still have the Ramdacs available. Not able respond to DM at this time.

I have tried a Ti TLC34076-170FN, it has seemed to work as the system posted and display with the Ti ramdac. Need to test further in benchmarks and games. Remove JU6 jumper and U32 ATi68830 (if present) to use the Ti TLC3407x chips in U30 PLCC socket. Both the Ti TLC34076 and TLC34075 are pin …

Has anyone tried the P3 1.0B Ghz (133 fsb) on the P3B-f rev 1.03? From what I have gathered from multiple forums some had luck some did not with 133fsb cpus on the Rev 1.03. Could it be possible later production of the Rev 1.03 with one ISA work ok with 133FSB cpus, than possible older Rev 1.03 with …

Any word on another batch, or even a kit and files?

Hello, I had gotten one of those Asus PCI-AS300 is a lot box not to long ago. I have Asus P55T2P4, I know it has a different chipset, 430HX. I was also going to use a Matrox Millennium. Once i get the system together, I'll update if i run into a similar issues or not.

Ah, as a north american I guess I'm going to have to be patient for a bit longer. That said, the rest of my build isn't ready yet anyways :) Please keep us updated on the situation! Hey I can ship again to USA ;-) Wondering if you are still able to ship the USA? I was wanting to get one of the …

Thanks for everyones' input. I wasn't having much luck in finding any thing for the bios for this board. Happy to say, that the 5EMPVEA1 worked and the the K6-III+ Mobile 450ACZ is posting with no issues. Made a back up copy of the original bios as well. AMD k6-III+ 450 SY-5EMA+ 256 MB PC100 CL2 …

I've never had the best of luck with way back machine when it came to file downloads. I had look in oct and dec, those also went to the defunct soyo site. Until now the only site i could find any sort of file name for the bios was what i had posted in the beginning. In the picture was the only ref i …

Thanks to Darry and Doornkaat. I was able to get a few of them downloaded. @ Darry, From the two you posted, the second one i found was linked to the v1.0 of the mobo. I had used web.archive on soyo old site. My luck was none of the download links would work. Happy that this board worked as my FIC …

Looking for a newer bios file for the SY-5EMA+ V1.1. Google hasn't found any sites that have any bios files to download. I found a site that listed bios revisions, the was newest it had listed, "01/06/2000-VP3-586B-8669-2A5LES2BC-00." If any one knows if this mobo supports any of the K6-III+ or 3 …

Had a Abit AN8, 3500+ and ATI X800 XL. First system that wasn't a hand me down. Though mine has an issue with none of the PCI slots working, PCIe slots are fine.
