@bofh.fromhell - thanks a lot! :) I looked on the wayback machine for a few hours but as all I could find were dead links, I almost gave up. You saved me a lot of hours of searching. Much appreciated! :) I have an external programmer so I can play at my heart's content with any BIOS version. …

My second dual PII/PIII mother of all boards. It will sit quite nicely near my Super P6DLS . Meet the SOYO SY-D6IBA . An unexpected flea market find dumped into a bag full of other boards. Does anyone have the DRIVER CD for this beast? Looking further into the future we should mirror all the FTP …

Thank You Doornkaat! Much appreciated! :) If that is Plastic Man, back in the '90s or so, after we got cable TV, and the communist regime was done for (1989), I watched Cartoon Network for 8 hours straight, I was 12 or so, it was like some sort of vengeance for all those years that were stolen for …

I've cleaned a lot of fans over the years, but I have never come across one so disgusting as that one :laughing: Good job there, even if the card isn't working. Also, nice tip about the Poxipol. I don't think that brand is sold here, but it seems to be just regular two component epoxy glue right? …

Unlikely survivors! aka The story of two GeForce 3 Ti 200 128MB cards Last year, on the 6th of June, I found at the flea market, dumped into a dirty bag, two cards that looked to be something out of the ordinary. These apparitions are something uncommon at "the dump" of the city, as I've seen them …

I've met a lot of people during these years and it pays off to be civilised no matter the circumstances.
