Well, short update on this 486 project which due to life was left on the back-burner for a while. I just purchased these tWo cards for this rig BusLogic BT-757C EISA SCSI 2 Host Adapter Floppy Cntrl (320730803166) and Diamond Stealth 64 2Meg VLB http://www.ebay.com/itm/260836875374?ssPageName=STRK: …

I play the piano and I have studied voice at the University level. My school has made me teach a beginning guitar class so I am now learning how to play it as well.

I do know that the pentium overdrive 83 mhz processor makes a big difference with jedi knight. With that cpu in my board jedi knight was quite playable and then just for kicks and giggles I threw in my monster 3d 3dx card and i was running the game in 800x600 on a 486 motherboard, it was fun! I just …

I have some wierd off brand one right now and it is a bit quirky. I have a few vlb video cards I can use with this …

Not its not the titanium release of the game. That usually goes for a mint on ebay. To be honest I think that this is in some ways better looking than the titanium re-release I have gotten this version to work on a diamond monster voodoo 1 card and a voodoo 2 card. There is a set of variables you …

How do I get this barrel battery of the motherboard? Just rip it off? Some acid has started to leak out of it, luckily it hasn't touched any of the components, but I want to get the battery of as quickly as possible.

I bought an old 486 at a pawnshop today because I liked the case. It has a turbo switch and the led's that tell you the speed your processor is running at.
