np, I am sure you will find mTCP to suit the dos transfer needs just fine :) you might want to check this thread here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=31700 , this is what got me started... though I think that you won't have any probs since you know your stuff as I see from the linux way you …

Seems like a LOT of trouble... :) I am sure you don't know it yet, but there is mTCP http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ , you can easily run the ftp-server in the PC witn the RTL8139 card and transfer files with awesome speed, since I've heard about it (recently) I found it the BEST way by far to transfer …

awesome, IBM stuff are precious :) edit: well not exactly bought (except from the mobo) but I finished restoring an old BabyAT tower and made my self a second p200mmx machine! :blush: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/restqp/at-restore/IMG00127-20120410-1431.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/ …
Re: Is -4.5v enough for a LAPC-I ? (instead of -5v)

Are you sure that under load it will drop towards -5 ? +12/+5v lines are normal on all psus

I am measuring the voltage with no ISA cards installed at all Mau1wurf1977 , infact I don't even have a vga installed on the test mobo, it just powers on and beeps I guess (no speaker connected lol) , also doing the same test with a PSU tester, I get the same results. So I am pretty sure that if …

yeah the -5v line has been optional in the ATX standard for almost 7-8 years now.... I have a LAPC-I Mau1wurf1977 , that's why I am searching this matter so much... if I didn't have it then I'd just use a random good atx psu and get over it 😁

I see, thanks for the replies guys :) I have triple-checked and tested a 1999 250W ATX psu for now that delivers -5.02v and seems it's quality built with japanese caps and everything... all the newer ones are -4.5 with the exception of a 2002 model that delivers -4.82 (have put it aside for now) I …
Re: What's the voltage tolerance of the -5v line on PSUs ?
Posted on 2012-04-07, 11:11
thanks 5u3 , basically I should re-phrase my question to: is -4.5v fine for a LAPC-I ? 🤣 also I took a look in the LAPC-I manual, it states that the card needs: +5v / 550mA -5v / 50mA

I don't know... -10% is a serious percentage IMHO 😜
Is -4.5v enough for a LAPC-I ? (instead of -5v)
Posted on 2012-04-07, 08:46
Hiya! I have finally come around to replace my aging AT psu on my p1 machine with an ATX one (mobo has support for both). I began testing some of the first era ATX psus that have the -5v line (since I have installed a LAPC-I) and I see that 4 out of 5 that I own actually deliver -4.50v on said line …
Re: Is there a way to make a voodoo2 do the "monitor switch reset" thingie on windows startup?

You know, the first thing I tried was rundll32 LOL I even looked in the control panel dll to get clues of a possible entrypoint that might do the trick LOL The pci slot is a nice idea but unfortunately the HOT591 mobo doesn't offer much choice: it's the last one or none since a lengthy card just …

I have looked in the diag/utils stuff on the sdk packs but sadly none of these did the "reset" I am looking for... apparently it's not enough to start a glide app to get rid of the moving lines, the only thing that gets rid of them is opening the display properties... strange....

Yeah that's what I am looking for , some app to do a switch test or a way to load the control panel dll and make it reset the switch (but that would be asking too much lol). And the image straight from the VGA is crystal clear. I don't really want to use an external switch , I don't like them or …

Hiya!!! I have noticed that I am having interference in my vga output when I first boot up my p200mmx/win98SE machine that has a voodoo2 in it (some diagonal faint lines) but all that is gone after I go once to the voodoo display properties tab and the internal switch does a cycle. Is there a way to …

mTCP all the way (thanks to megatron-uk that first wrote about it here! 😀 ) On my 5x86/133mhz mTCP is 3-4 times faster than wfw3.11 with tcp/ip-32bit. As a sidenote the author of FlashFXP has tweaked it to fully work with mTCP 's ftpserver 😊
