I'll check the revision on Monday if I remember (it's currently in the retro-room at work) but in case I forget - yea, Sintech's thingiemabob.

All I can confirm now is that my ASUS P65UP5 (with dual PPro) *will* boot from SD2ATAPI and real CD/DVD-ROMs, but not from the Tattie. :( I have no problems accessing it from e.g. DOS, but booting doesn't seem to work. I may have to try again, perhaps gremlins were near.. Is that sintech's adapter …

So... I took a bite and ordered a Tattiebogle IDE Simulator (so you don't have to - but you SHOULD). :D Just wanted to say that it works as advertised (although it's creator could do a better job at marketing it, or writing instructions for it), at least on my system with 430HX chipset. The best …

Yes, not implemented.

Yes, mine supports a DOS utility I made (and I plan to add Win16 and Win32 apps at some point, and possibly Linux for a laugh) to control, as well as plugging in a Crystalfontz USB button/display module which gives you menus you can use to switch disk images/etc. On top of that you can control it …

I've recently bought this board but can't find any info on it - manual/jumper settings... With most 386/486 combo boards you can fit the math copro in the 486 socket but at least there were markings on those boards. On this there is only a marking for 486 cpu and nothing about 387.
