Re: Which USB 2.0 cards for old motherboards

Recently I got a card with a NEC D72010XF1 chip. It looks cool with that IHS. The board is from October 2010 so it's a "very new" old card. I didn't find any datasheet about this particular "XF1" chip but I guess it's part of the D72010(1) family. Perhaps the latest iteration? I still haven't tried …

Guessing your in the same boat as I was few years ago. I had a server of some type that I was looking to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. As others have said Network and RAID cards are the cheap options, neither of which interested me. Graphics was the most interesting option but PCI-X cards …

LS-120 on IDE. But I'm also interested how to get a 2nd classic FDC to work under Win9x/2k. That’s a interesting idea. But my drive bays won’t accommodate. The card is not yet released, but will be soon, I guess. New 4 Drive Floppy Controller - TexElec Quad-Flop https://youtu.be/pjNBPHjUSHE Oh …

got a 486 class setup here. Two floppy controllers: one on my scsi card and one on the motherboard. I can change the address of the scsi card fdd controller but can't seem to get all to work right under win 95 should I try the xt-fdc bios? or how are you doing it? I don't wanna use a floppy switcher …

I would say Voodoo 3. It is the more period correct board, and i had that kind of setup with K6-3 450 (upgrade from previous K6-2 350 oc to 400) at the time (along with a DXR2 board for decoding DVD because the Voodoo 3 was weak at this task - who cares now?). This setup was later upgraded to …

What was the error you found? Btw, looking for an opinion, I have a isa speedstar 64 (oem) and it glitches with 2mb installed. I want to fix it, I’m leaning toward the gpu being damaged. But the possibility of the 1st mb maybe having unused areas that are then used when 2mb is installed crossed my …

Makes sense. Thank you. It is slightly odd solder via, still. Hardly what I call these a pad as there is no neighboring solder pad attached to the via. Is there a capacitor or resistor large enough to touch these solder pins at their ends? If not, that means excess solder to make up for the gaps? …

Silkscreen misalignment is acceptable of this quality. I see this all the time. Again, there is no copper D-pads to create solder pads for capacitors or resistors, under that silkscreen as you call them. Give a scrape into white silkscreen with a razor, you will know what I mean, I can tell. This …

Should I get the ROM for it? Load xt-ide on it? Hi, You can't use a ROM on it because the address lines are not decoded correctly. I made an optimized version of the DOs Driver for this board, you can find it in this thread. Is there a way to hardware hack the socket to correct the problem? …
