I'm surprised no company has jumped into the aftermarket replacement ATX shield business yet. It would require an up-front investment, but a lot of people are looking for those things, so the market for this could be quite big. I think the biggest problem would be getting accurate specs for all the …

I have a Win98SE Build on a Core2 Duo E8600 setup. Pretty much the last Intel chipset to actually have drivers for Win98 although people have jimmied Win98 on much faster systems. For Windows 7, absolutely no reason to use gimpy hardware other then to eventually want to gouge your eyes out with a …

AWE64 doesn't have a CD-ROM header. The headers on the board are for a RAM upgrade and are not supposed to have a plastic shroud on them. I say keep it for the DOS games that support AWE32/64 directly and for General MIDI in Windows. You will also have better DOS compatibility than most PCI cards. …

Another looks like an official CD.. not finding specific info or a download for it anywhere …

RC Systems DoubleTalk PC speech synthesis card... apparently also has a music tone generator and can also be used as a Windows sound card. In 2000, they removed one of the chips to reduce cost and because the programs that it was used with were obsolete. From what I can tell, this card is from …

[ The modded bios is to recognize the Barton core. Pretty sure you don't get the extra instructions the Barton has if you don't flash the modded BIOS.

I'll have to check out the cards once it arrives. It almost looks like the one with what appears to be SCSI is also VGA ???? Look at the ports on the back.

The KT7A/KT7A-RAID is about the best Socket 462 boards with an ISA slot. With a modified BIOS and wire-modding the socket, you can run a Barton Mobile at about 2.4Ghz. The caps will probably (most definitely) need to be replaced if they haven't been before. I bought a NOS KT7A board and the first …
