Thank you for this! I do have one question though. I always install Service Pack 3.56, is the 2.1a better? thanks

Without the battery there is no sign of life, the charger has multiple voltage settings. Should I try and up the voltage? Don't blindly up the voltage. Set it up according to the manufacturer. There should be a label on the bottom side of it. I found this online: POWER (All models) Autosensing …

Are you sure your charger is working? If there is no sign of life without the battery inserted, it might just be a bad charger. Do you have a multimeter?

then you are from the same generation :D I still have the tape in my retro car :D Which I spent 6 hours on this week just getting a replacement door on straight. Hinge pins - no body shop wanted to touch it, I ended up making it work with a 5/16ths trailer pin, a washer, and a few drillbits that I …

Re: Using an IDE ssd ?

I have two of these drives and they do work great with no hassle with just a 44 to 40 pin adapter. It's not the fastest SSD out there, but than again, we're talking about win98, I had a 4.3GB drive in 1999.

I got this mobo with the gpu and it wasnt working. Yesterday tried the gpu that came with this pc in another one and now that mobo is also dead, so yeah, I guess you can say I did.

Unfortunately new cpu didn't help, I believe the 7600gs destroyed this board, because I tried that gpu in another pc and now that one is also dead.

I think some Kyro boards are configured to identify as 3.3V signalling only while the graphics chip actually supports 1.5V signalling as well. Your Epox board does not support 3.3V signalling afaik so the card may trigger a safety mechanism that keeps the system from starting. If that's all true …

Hi, sorry for the late reply, finishing my house and am currently really busy with it. Going to pick up an athlon 2400 today along with some other retro things and will try to make it work, if not, will post the mobo here.

I read somewhere that FF is either all is good or everything is f*ed 😁 Will get a new cpu and test it, its a good board. Non related, does it support agp 2x? I have a Kyro gpu on its way and just remembered it only supports 3.3v slots.
