It was actually 26.90, and it had a floppy controller on it, which I would have needed, as I don't have any working I/O controllers with a floppy. I also got a 1.05GB hdd for it. I could have spent less, but I wanted an Adaptec controller. I also picked up a 2940 PCI controller for the Tower of …

Thanks, though it doesn't really help my personal case. I knew about the file system limits, just wasn't sure where SCSIs limits were, and if the BIOS would hinder the SCSI controller.

Before I blow 37USD, I need to know if it will work. I got a 486 board from 1992. It's an Alaris Leopard rev C. It's BIOS date is 6-6-92. I know there is a later one, (11-11-92, and possibly one later than that), but I cannot find them. I am using the aforementioned Alaris board. IBM SLC2, 66Mhz, …

Got the new multi i/o card. It's faster than the old one, and the floppy works now. Yay.

Well, those might have been Compaq Specific. :p (and one of those extensions might be wrong)

You -do- have all the .HCI and .SCI files for these EISA boards and EISA cards, don't you? They will not work without them. I see a couple of the boards have them.

Nothing given, but yesterday I got my ATI Mach 64 VLB and 3COM ISA, and tomorrow I should get my VLB multi I/O to replace the broken one.

I have a 20" vieable flat faced CRT Mitsubishio Diamond Pro 2040u for the main, and two 19" Gateways as secondaries. I don't personally like LCDs myself.

Does the motherboard have settings for PCI and ISA bus timings? Alot of ISA sounds devices, especially old ones like your card, are very picky about timing. Make sure the PCI bus is at 33MHz and the ISA bus is running at 1/4 of that. (7.16Mhz or so) Also, look for settings labled (16 bit / 8bit , …

So I decided (as I beleive I mentioned previously) to put my SL2C system back together. It has the 66Mhz IBM SL2C (which, from what I can determine, it's a really fast 386 with a big L1 cache, but still has a 16Bit copro). I plan to make this a non plug and play DOS (No windows) machine. It has two …
