Nice card; I would snag that in a heartbeat

There's no model number on this 286 board?

Maybe the drive needs to be aligned?

I noticed the 2.8V comes in a Boxed version while the 5V does not. This would lead me to believe that anything that was pulled from a server is likely the 5V version.

JTS Corp. is the manufacturer. It's a very basic drive, it has no SMART abilities so I can't read any of it's history with HD Tune Pro.
Re: Voodoo1 compatible with Voodoo2 RAM?
Posted on 2014-05-08, 22:46
What would the divider have been on the PCI clock when Voodoo1's were around? 1 / 50ns * 1000 = 20MHz, and 1 / 25ns * 1000 = 40MHz. Although, on the Voodoo2 page it says the card had 25ns RAM, possible of running 100MHz, but running at 90MHz. It was my understanding that you would need 10ns RAM to …
CHAMP C2000-3AF is slow in my C2D rig.

Along with a 486 system I acquired, I also got a free 2GB HDD, a CHAMP C2000-3AF. It didn't have anything I'm interested in on it except some pictures of some old man and his family, a few porn pics in the temporary internet files, and a Win95 Install with various software. So I wiped the MBR and …

Since 98SE introduced ACPI, I bet that is a possible problem. You can Google how to disable ACPI in 98SE and see if it helps.

What version of Windows are you running? Did you try assigning it an IRQ in the BIOS?

I sent them an email about its availability, but from what I can see only Linux drivers were developed.

Could have sworn I saw a few PCI USB 2.0 cards at my local place with Texas Instruments chipsets. What about those? Are there any ISA cards to add at least USB 1.0/1.1?
Re: Need quality VGA cable for 1600*1200 85Hz

Honestly, when dealing with video signals that are hard to push, proper cable construction is going to be critical. You need a professional-grade cable that is tested and for SURE keeps the impedance at 75-Ohm. Otherwise you end up with signal loss which degrades the picture.

Check the wire gauge on the jacket, does it say? IIRC, 24-gauge is common on svga cables, but I've found 22-gauge, before. Also, you can use a shorter cable. Professional monitors often came with 3-foot cables. Places like bluejeancable can custom make you a cable, too.

Mouse: I have a Logitech Mouseman Pro serial/PS2 that I have literally used as my primary mouse since 1996-1997... the ONLY mouse that I've ever used since I first bought it back then. That mouse has the BEST "feel" to it and the most sensitive and easy to push buttons of ANY mouse that I've ever …

I'm a bit confused about this board. When I search the model number, several different manufacturers come up, though the board is the same. While I'm at it, anyone have experience with this board?

Irrelevant. TEA2025B on ASUS card does use 5V from the regulator, but the TDA1517P on CT4180 gets 12V directly from the ISA bus. It gives out new possibilities to assume which one is better. Every time I follow the traces, I end up at the 5V regulator to the OpAmp's left. This coincides with OP's …
Re: Sound Blaster 1.0 worthwhile?
Posted on 2014-04-14, 12:46
I think that's a good price for a person who wants to use it, but not for someone who plans on reselling it. If you buy it for ten bucks, plan on using it as a trade item as vetz suggested.

Oh, this threw me off a little because I know I have a couple Pro 1000's from an old Disney server I bought, but they are PCI-X. I've never tried them in 7, though.
