Nice chips, but I didn't think we were allowed to post current eBay listings? I think $12 is more realistic though 😀

286 motherboard with 640kb of ram, the reason I bought this board because it has a harris 286-25 CPU and I won the auction for a far price, one of those impulsive purchases in case I ever build a high end 286, unfortunately no simm memory but on to another related purchase. Wow. 286-25. Is that the …

- Checking if your FDD is original. I don't know what kind of signal do you need, but maybe your FDD is providing the motherboard with the opposite. If you have replaced the FDD, note that some FDDs behaviour can be selected via jumpers or modded to fit your needs. All floppy drives and controllers …

I thought all adapters were good for all ps2 mice. Guess I've just been lucky 😀

Wouldn't it be easiest to just use an adapter on the serial port? They are very cheap on eBay and I never found one that didn't work.

Re: Win 95c install reg codes
Posted on 2018-05-22, 21:27
Will 95c accept a 95b registration code? Or will random codes work, like with 95 retail? Win95C should accept any OEM serial number for Win95 RTM...OSR 2.5. Retail (boxed) edition of Win95 OSR (A, B or C) never exist. Only the original Win95 RTM was in both the retail version and in the OEM version …
Win 95c install reg codes
Posted on 2018-05-22, 20:18
Back in the day, I didn't have to remember my Win 95 Retails code, as a valid country code followed by any 7 digits would do the trick. Fast forward 20 years, and I have a few copies of Win 95b with legit codes, and one copy of 95c without a code. Will 95c accept a 95b registration code? Or will …

No. As it's not mine and is worth a lot, I have kept everythink stock. Now if hard1k said he wants it optimised and to run SuperPi 1.5, that would be different 😀

It is guaranteed to be Stepping 0, Revision 5. I assume you will be installing Windows 95 with the Cyrix 5x86-133 installed? Yes, it's Stepping 0 revision 5. I used it to install DOS, WFW 3.11, drivers then Win 95, as well as the obligatory BIOS upgrade to 3.07 (beta with year 2K support). I kept …

This hasn't been my smoothest system setup. I have DOS and WFW 3.11 installed, that part was easy. Waited three weeks for a USB floppy drive that I ended up having to get a refund on as it never arrived. I needed that to transfer CD and network card drivers, so I can install Win 95. I ordered …
