Not sure what's going on. Stick to DOS is all I can think of? This would be best. There can be many things that may influence the results. Thing is, we want results that compare hardware to hardware and using the same OS (in this case a bootable disk) minimizes influencing the results beyond what …

You sure were busy there RG100! As I lay in bed yesterday night, about to go to sleep, I decided to do some reading and gave this mobo manual a go, just to see if I'd missed anything particular (yup, I sometimes read old manuals in bed, LOL). And I saw that on the same page as "Contaq-386 …

why would you want to build ... for this card its nothing special Hmm...I was thinking the same thing about the 2MB and 4MB S3 PCI cards 5 years ago...now it turns out these are one of the most practical to use in old PCI systems. I don't understand what the use of emutated GF2MX's could be, but …

Since when are external harddrives formatted in NTFS instead of FAT32? Not sure, but iirc at least one of my external drives (either 320GB or 500GB) worked fine in my ME

The 3 boards I ordered are finally in my living room. All 3 batteries show no sign of leakage! 😁 I'll remove those batteries later when I got a couple hours to spare 😀

Once I have more time (hopefully within a week or so), I'll start to chip in 😉 I'm desperately curious to try out some of my stuff (unlocked P2, MMX (and hope my MMX 266 mobile chip works!!), Cyrix MII, Winchip, Rise, K6-2/3/+, and maybe even an Athlon XP mobile).

Amen ATI, always loved your stuff, but also always loved AMD stuff also. And besides, only the brand -name- is gone but to me it's still the same ATI 😀

I suppose you don't have any other means? Another way would be to have a dedicated harddisk with all the files you need and slave it in your main rig. Another option could be to slave the system disk in another rig and copy the files to your system disk directly.

Ok, lemme give my €2 Dell keyboard a go at this... I tried plugging in two different kind of external harddrives, both usb, in my old pc with win ME. One of them is self-powered and the other one requires a cable. The one without cable get recognized, it even shows the brand and stuff and seems like …

Personally the board seems nice, at least it seems like it's standard AT. But for the the cut-off point was actually the 486. I only got those 386DX boards as I already had one and decided to be wanting to use it, and if it breaks I've got no other 386 boards to turn to. Those 3 are basically going …
