Where can i find it? I really struggle with the CPU Type Jumper Settings.. I just buy another CPU a Cyrix because its documented in the manual. AMD support for older CPUs is really pain in the ass on this rev 2 board. It looks like Intel and Cyrix is the way you go with it. I now run the cpu with …

So, apparently there is really no joy not only with the sd card but with cf card too! I installed the 32gb that I received on friday. Very same issue, it can't read fat32 partitions bigger than 2gb. At this point it sounds to me a motherboard\chipset issue or an adapter issue.

Hello, I've found an old 176mb disk with a windows 95 installation, I'd like to make a full backup out of it. Like an image but I'd like also to be able to open in and retrieve files. I can connect it to a windows xp machine. Any good program to do so? Thanks

They are surely effordable, but still more expensive (with probably longer lifespan). didn't know that SD card do not support being used with cd drive in the same channel? Because I did used the sd card while the cable was also connected to the cd-rom, it changed nothing compared to use it in a …

My biggest problem with CF is the damn things avoid me... no luck getting hold of any, I see them at $$$, most I come across in local area are super fast high spec pro photo ones that they want basically 80% of retail for 10 years on. Though I've got some tiny sizes like 16MB and 32MB, thinking I …

Motherboard: P4S5A-DX+ Cf card Agfa 8gb 233x it works without issues with following bios settings: LBA mode: on Blk mode: on Pio mode: 3 (from 4 upwards it makes it unable to boot) 32 bit mode: on With those settings windows 98 and dos 7.10 …

I am not surprised that your SD->SD adapter-> Cf bridge->Cf to ide stack had issues. The CF->IDE adapter that you show does not look like it has a voltage regulator on it. It can only provide 5V power. My experience has been that Type 1 SD->CF bridges require a CF->IDE adapter that can provide 3.3V …

BTW , nice hdd on the floor :D Can you bridge the power button pins? see if it starts? don't reflow with hair drier , not worth the risk. did you try manual fsb+volt setting ? see manual http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock370/815ep/tusl2-c/tusl2c-104.pdf did you reposition the CPU? clear the …

So I went ahead with the cf card->sd project on my pentium 4 machine. I had some issues with the following chain: SD->SD adapter->Cf adapter->Cf to ide (the one you screw on the backpanel). The bios was hanging after some reboots, I tried several cables since I was initially using a 80 pin eide …

IPA wouldnt do any damage, but often any disturbance of corroded area is enough to "break" the board. For this reason when fixing liquid damage its important to inform users their hardware is already garbage, even if it still seems to partially work, so there is no misunderstanding in case repair …

ok time to put it on dishwater machine and give it a full clean before trash it... You can try that , but be very careful to dry it well before testing . Leave it for a few hours somewhere hot after surface drying it to seat in a angle , rear i/o connectors at base ( there is water under the slots …

Area 1 is the super i/o chip near the bottom next to the last pci connector , 2 is with the ps2 ports . You can leave the trace but that one looks bad and i had cases of the protective layer being above cooper that was already eaten by corrosion . You can scrape it on the surface with a sharp tool …

About the values I don't know what to say, I'm quite confident I took them right (I did twice to be sure). I have no soldering skills (but I have the stuff), if we can locate the …
