This is rather confusing, I found some info that Promise made cards with 2 interfaces, one 32-bit only supporting hard drives and a second 16-bit interface specifically for CD-ROMs, so I thought maybe your card only has the interface that supports hard disks. I couldn't find any info on the DC-420 …

It is an Antec VSK-4000E :-) Very nice cases, I have my Pentium III and Pentium 4 builds in them as well (but with much less modification!). You're right about the case badge, it was one of the first things I did before I had the rest of the system built, and it would suit it better on the front. I …

Thanks guys, I really wanted to build it in an AT case but I couldn't find any in my country (United Kingdom), and shipping from overseas was just too much. The only AT cases I could find around were very late ones that didn't have turbo button or the MHz display, and still had an ATX I/O slot on …

Hi guys I just (almost) completed my 486 build in a modern case, and thought I'd share some piccies. I've been wanting to own a 486 for many years, and it finally dawned upon me to build one instead. I knew it would be quite a challenge. It was quite involved, I had to use a dremel to remove part of …

I had the same problem with my Audigy 2 ZS, I could never get it to work. I switched to VxD and it wasn't there, installed it manually by selecting the sb16.inf and the yellow exclamation mark as you described. I tried all sorts but could never get it sorted. I ended up swapping to an older system …

Disabling L2 cache helped a bit, and disabling L1 helped more, but it still isn't right. Looks like I would have to slow the system down even more for it to run normally, unfortunately I haven't got my turbo button hooked up yet This game is quite the pain !

I have this card (Audician 32 Plus) in my 486DX2/66, just tested out Duke Nukem II and I'm missing most of the SB sound effects. As mentioned switching on Adlib sound effects brought those back into the mix This is the first game I've had any difficulty with thus far, I've got another one in a …

The DC-420 should support two drives on one cable. It doesn't look like there's any jumpers on the card pertaining to IDE. The first thing I would do is establish that the drive is working, unplug the hard drive and connect just the CD-ROM to the controller card (set the CD-ROM to primary via the …

That's awesome thank you! Exactly what I was looking for My motherboard only has a 2 pin Turbo switch header. I guess in that instance, I'd wire L C H from one row to the LED display, and L C from the other row to the motherboard, as high is the default (no switch connected) ?

Hey guys I'm building myself a 486 DX2-66 in a modern ATX case. The last thing I need to sort out is the Turbo equipment I'm going to put a latching switch with built in LED for the Turbo Switch and Turbo LED functions into a 5.25 blanking plate, along with a S-305H LED MHz display that I picked up. …

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye out for one. I couldn't find any on eBay, only one I could find listed currently was on Amazon US (I'm in the UK) which was $90 just for shipping, so not an option sadly!

Thanks for the replies guys I tested a P3 1GHz at 100FSB and the intended Celeron 1.4 at 100FSB, this time I tried using auto on the vCore and still absolutely nothing :-( I guess this adapter just isn't compatible with my board for some reason. Just trying to find this one was no easy feat though. …

Hey guys I'm trying to upgrade the CPU on my ASUS P3B-F Rev 1.04 (upgraded to latest BIOS), from a P3 450 Slot 1 to a Tualatin Celeron 1.4 (100MHz fsb) The board is coppermine compatible, and I'm using a GA-6R7PR S370 adapter which is also coppermine compatible, but I can't get any CPUs to boot in …
