I see.. I already have a 733EB and the CPU would be a marginal upgrade at best, it could have been usefil if it were a 440BX Socket 370 though.

Can anyone ID this motherboard from seller's potato shots? I may be interested in getting it with the 800EB and RAM on it if it's a Tualatin board with ISA.. He asks only $10 for it, though it's "untested". https://img.letgo.com/images/04/ba/7e/a1/04ba7ea1ac478fc14117de0975832cd1.jpeg https://img. …

I removed the front panel of my AT case last night to configure the speed display thinking I would find an array of jumpers to set. Instead I found this: http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_11505/gallery_60983_11505_37898.jpg http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/ …

The dos vga capture card market looks either quite saturated or very small. A bunch of visionrgb-pro1 on ebay have been up for $20 each shipped for a while without seeing sales.

I have a lot of ADF's my self. Ordered a 4gb CF card to upgrade the 512mb that I have, and will be using the new one for storing ADF files. That way, I can use eighter ADF-Blitzer or ADF2DISK in order to write files. :-) I truly like using real disks, and I have so many empty ones. I will continue …

Potential issue with GF4 MX440 (or expecially with MX4000 if you have that) is that the oldest drivers that will work with those cards are at least 2-2.5 years newer than the oldest drivers that will work with GF2 MX cards, which are nearly period correct drivers for a Win98 build. While it may …

I wish a producer would make a limited run of quality AT/ATX hybrid cases. The only difference between the two is that ATX boards have a bigger cut-out and AT cases use a different switch. An AT board will fit an ATX case, but would benefit from an AT backplate. All I ask for is an AT backplate in …
