I had DOS on the LS120, but the other OSes were on multiple hard drive partitions. The LS120 was specifically prepared with a special boot menu. These days, I'd just run each OS from a removable hard drive caddy, and use different caddies insted of LS120s as removable media. Managing this is much …

You ran the OSes directly off an LS120 diskette? How can you fit so many OSes onto 120 MB? Update: Even using my regular 3.5" floppy diskette to boot, then navigating to C:\games\Quake_SW\quake.exe results in the same error. Quake only runs if I boot to DOS from the HDD directly. I'm guessing there …

I tried using the integrated bootable diskette writing features as part of a few bootable packages, however, they too complained. I was going to try clonezilla, but that images was over 120 MB. I was going to look for some USB-based ones, but then I tried something that worked. I put the LS-120 into …

Thanks. Saved it for future testing. Not exactly a night and day difference between 4.26 and 4.33 though. Makes me wonder what changes were made between these revisions.

Anyone know how to create a bootable LS-120 SuperDisk? While my SuperDisk drive is OK to boot regular floppies, I am struggling with creating bootable media on LS-120 disks. I have images created of my personal ultimate boot diskette, but when I use WinImage to write the information to the 120 MB …

nemo, are you expecting a Pentium 266 MMX chip to beat a K6-2-350? I think that is a fairly unrealistic expectation. Did you look at the Quake results from the Ultimate 686 Benchmark Comparison? While I didn't test a Tillamook, I did run a standard Pentium 233 MMX at 75x3.5, or 262 MHz on a SS7 …

When using the Tillamook, the speedsys graph should only show L1 and L2 cache. No L3 cache.

Oh, yes please! The folks over on CPU-World were also wondering the outcome of this combination. If it doesn't work, could you retest, both, the PF110 CPU and the VLB motherboard to ensure that they still work with their respective hardware? I suggest selecting your grubbiest pieces of hardware for …

I'm going to see what happens if I remove the ordinary floppy drive. The BIOS sees it as secondary master. There is nothing else connected to the cable. It didn't work when connected as slave to the CD-ROM using an 80-pin cable, so I moved the CD-ROM and used a 40-pin cable.

Were there ever NT 4.0 drivers for the LS-120 SuperDisk drives? I have both a regular floppy and an LS-120 drive connected. For some reason, NT 4.0 turns my regular 3.5" floppy into a 5.25" and gives the SuperDisk a 3.5" B:\ floppy designation, which cannot be accessed. The SuperDisk can be accessed …

Could someone let me know where they acquired this case? And who is the manufacturer? In the near future, I'm planning on a NexGen Nx586 PF110 build, which runs at 102 MHz. The 1+2 digit LED display would be perfect. And in my mind, this case is screaming NexGen. I told myself I wouldn't get another …
