Maybe the IDE controller is killing them. That's really the only thing left that I can tell.

Re: Best S423 and 478 chipset for a DOS\W98\XP PC
Posted on 2019-09-18, 14:22
Something with the i865 (maybe 875) chipset. Not sure about overclocking, but probably something from ASUS or Gigabyte or maybe Abit would be the best. Best CPU is the Northwoood based Pentium 4 Extreme CPU (3.2 or 3.4Ghz with 2MB L2 cache). Good luck finding one for a good price though. Took me …

Re: Fast 486 VLB vs PCI.
Posted on 2019-09-18, 05:54
If you want to build a fast 486 are VLB video cards fast enough that I would be taking full advantage of the cpu or would I need to find a motherboard that has pci slots and use later PCI video card? I am talking about something like 133Mhz 486 and either using my VLB tseng ET4000/W32p with it or …
Re: Trying to install W98 on HP s7520n, need help finding drivers
Posted on 2019-09-18, 05:45
There weren't any drivers released for Win9x for that chipset (ATI Express 200). It should still work though. I did see something that said that you can't use the SATA ports to boot from though... who knows if that is even true though. For USB support, you can use NUSB 3.3 http://www.technical- …
Re: Fast 486 VLB vs PCI.
Posted on 2019-09-18, 05:09
VLB ET4000 will be fine for a 5x86 133.. even overclocked to 160Mhz. There are some utilities such as fastvid that may make it even faster. If you are lucky you will be able to run it at the 40Mhz bus speed with no added wait states. Just depends on the card.

Is it possible that you slipped when removing the old heatsink or installing the new one? Post very close up pics of the area surrounding the heatsink. Maybe you knocked something loose or bent a leg or leg on the chipset.

I'd like to know what is so special about it too. If the current one is non functioning it just makes sence to just replace the silly thing with one that works. The bezel/faceplate on a normal drive will not match up with the case. Kikendo - why not post a pic of your drive. Maybe somebody here has …
