The latest BETA Bios does also not work with the Silicon BIOS. A alternate Methode which worked for me was to disable the Sil3114 BIOS …

USB 2.0 Cards with Nec Chipset (OHCI) work fine with older PCI Spec. Avoid VIA Chipsets.

If you have a better Card, would you like to try Bioshock ? Edit Bioshock.ini to this: [Havok] HavokNumThreads=2 Now you can use both Athlon CPUs for your Game. Also Oblivion can be tweaked to use more threads. For physics and audio etc. i did this to run it on dual p3's.

A Radeon 7000 is a Bad Choice. The Driver is badly optimized for old Systems. i have tested one with a PPro 2000 and speed is slower then a Voodoo 2 Card with 8Megs. A Decent Workstation Card for a Pentium Pro would be a 3DLabs Permedia 2 Card. They have well optimized drivers which work nicely …

A ZIP100 ATAPI works fine in a 386 System. But the ZIP100 ATAPI Drives have Problems with Dust and oxyd, and you can't clean them proper.

Can't get it to boot off a floppy, no floppy access is being made by the system, and when a disk is inserted one of the motors runs continuously until said disk is ejected. If it's anything like the LTE Elite, the belt inside has turned into dust. I have to put the HDD into a different laptop, or …
