The Aztech card should incorporate licensed OPL3 tech in the main chip.
Re: Readily available motherboards with ISA slot and faster CPUs?
Posted on 2019-11-13, 23:38
KT133 and maybe some KT133A based boards often came equipped with an ISA slot. As noted, not exactly "readily available", though. In fact, I'm not sure there's any ISA slot equipped board that's "readily available". PC/104 is if you're willing to pay the price.

Bad stuttering sounds like resource contention. Map out your IRQ and DMA assignments.

Instead of having the bootloader signed by one of the private keys which correspond to the public keys in the KEK or PK, a certificate is signed such that it can be validated by one of those public keys. This certificate can in turn be used to sign a UEFI payload (kernel, bootloader, or whatever) or …

Pretty sure chains of trust don't need a network connection to validate as long as the chain is intact and present. They do if certificates can be revoked, which is the case for SSL. True and this is one of the limitations of SSL root CAs operating in disconnected mode (which they do all the time). …

But that's the thing: under those circumstances you can easily download and install the required certificates. The validation is merely to make sure the certificates belong to the actual organization. UEFI is different: the bootloader is merely signed with a private key, it does not contain the …

Don't forget about PowerBasic! Which is the successor to TurboBasic. I used PowerBasic A LOT as a teenager, because it was cheap and came with the PowerTools, which allowed you to do TurboVision style Text UIs with mouse support. Very powerful Basic dialect that had a real compiler. Still the path …

But you keep missing the point: Secure Boot uses X509 certificates, so it basically adopted the system that SSL uses. The problem is that you turn the responsibility around: You say "issued to major standard bodies (like the LF)". But issuing certificates is not an active task of a Certificate …

The concept that "the Linux community" could sign a bootloader doesn't seem reasonable to me, and this is a central issue I take with this design. Certificates are basically a "proof of origin" that aligns rather poorly with an ecosystem that is, by its very nature, decentralized. Red Hat could …

As long as it's an earlier design with more than 30A available for 5V circuits, you should be fine. I've used my KP6 dual slot rig with a 365W Enermax supply and a 430W Thermaltake without problems.

As I said, the world doesn't work that way. Which makes them IMPRACTICAL motivations. They're very practical, but yes, sometimes it's necessary to be pragmatic. It's resistant to improvement, experimentation, and security review. You mean like the BIOS/UEFI itself? Well, yes, although distros …

Even if a source tree makes reproducible builds, most Linux distributions won't have a matching binary signature for the bootloader as each has their own build infrastructure and may use a different release version as well. As I tried to say in my previous post: Then they should stop doing that, …

Most linux distributions use the same bootloader, so why not just sign it once? Why would every linux distro need to build the bootloader themselves and sign it themselves? Even if a source tree makes reproducible builds, most Linux distributions won't have a matching binary signature for the …

Basically it's the linux world that put Microsoft in this position, ironically enough. Had the linux distros come together, and obtained a shared x509 certificate, and signed their bootloaders with it, then this certificate would most likely have been adopted by many vendors, and installed by …
