Ah, ok. Was in a bit of a hurry and didn't read through everything. On another note, I just got one of those dual socket 5 SBCs as well. Haven't had a chance to mess with it yet though. Shouldn't overdrive MMX CPUs be able to work with it?

Ok, I just got an Advantech PCI/ISA backplane that I was planning on using for a 486 SBC build. Already have a different backplane by a different company and a case that it fits in but the SBC was only showing 3 of the 4 PCI slots in the BIOS. I think it may actually be because the onboard Tseng …

Do you have any idea what the exact CD ID is? There are quite a few different Live! CDs available on vogonsdrivers.com Edit: I might have an original CD laying around. I'll have to check this evening. Also found this site... convert Live! to Live! 5.1 http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/livetolive51/index. …

Some LCDs have a setting to display the image using the resolution that is input... depending on the monitor, it will make it into a tiny square in the center of the screen. Personally, I like the built-in scaler in the Dell 19" 1280x1024 LCDs. I've also got an IBM 20" LCD that works pretty well. …

I wouldn't use a hot air soldering gun. Even with the largest tip on it, you are going to be concentrating the heat way too much. You need something that can heat up the whole sticker in order to loosen/melt the glue so you can remove the sticker. What about borrowing a hair dryer? Do you have any …

You need to get into the Promise card's BIOS to set everything up. Without configuring stuff in the card's BIOS it will never work. Ctrl-F is the key combo to get into the card's BIOS. You must do this on the POST screen when it says it is loading the card's BIOS. They usually come up with a …

Well.. you could always just use config.sys and autoexec.bat menus. Then you can do choice splitting as much as you like. Yeah, a pain to set up initially, but once it is set up how you like it, you are golden. The other thing you could do for choice splitting via a .exe is to write a simple batch …
