I don't have parts yet to test this out myself, but maybe there is someone out there who is able and willing. If the Turbo ON/OFF can be controlled by both software and hardware switch, does one override the other? If the Turbo ON/OFF is changed by software, will a state change be reflected by the …

I'm hoping someone with one of these motherboards can answer a question about the turbo setting. On the ASUS VLI-486SV2GX4 motherboard, what exactly does the turbo switch do. Is the clock reduced and how so? If using an Am5x86 running at 160Mhz. (40 Mhz. FSB), what speed would the system run with …

Contemporary printers either supported PostScript or HPGL - or both. And if your start the …

Pickle, when using Tandy 3-voice sound on the PicoGUS, does the digital playback work? Tandys usually had 3-voice + DAC.

It should work by connecting the output of the PicoGUS into the line-in port of the AWE64 Legacy and the WP32-McCake sound is fed through the WaveBlaster connector. The only thing that you should be worrying is about setting the resources for both sound cards. You mean I/O port address, IRQ, and …

Depends on the design of the power supply. Older style AT power supplies often used one or more ceramic power resistors to operate correctly. Without airflow those could reach 100+ degrees (Celsius). More modern designed AT power supplies didn't rely on those and ran pretty cool at moderate …
