Hi, I have a DELL Optiplex 433/L with 486dx-33 I am trying to fix. What happened is that I was fooling around with it out side on the patio table trying to add a CDROM drive and I must have shorted something out. From what I remember the computer was turned on when I was connecting the CDROM drive. …

If I can find one that has been engineered , designed and assembled in USA. Some read UK and others read USA ? What about PS/2 ? I also have a Gateway 2000 486 with Micronics motherboard. And a DELL 486 with a sticker that reads “Made in USA”

Yes. I am just benchmarking the motherboard setup. ( Motherboard , RAM, Cache, CPU ). Not the drives. I am just bench marking not comparing different brands. Everyone has different preferences and memories. I have some -60ns FPM Texas Instruments ram for the PS/1

Will the PAS16 work with any SCSI CDROM drive ? Right now I am NOT using the SCSI interface. I am using an IDE CDROM connected to a VLB controller. The problem is that some functions of the Musicbox music play app do not work. Like “next song” and “FF” So maybe this app was written to work with a …

What you don’t like the whining noise of a 10,000 rpm SCSI drive ? If you want quiet then go with the CF card.

I like these new apple pro cases but they are NOT stackable ? What where they thinking ? I know, you will have to buy a $1000 stacking shelf to place between Mac pros in order to stack them. Well, They are building better cases with more air flow for a reason. Faster and Hotter processors ! Dual …

I like to build once and never mess with is again. If you want versatility then a SS7 with AGP or BX440 with AGP and NO audio is most versatile. ( ISA / PCI / AGP ). For AMD build you could go with a German theme and parts with Terratec but most drivers are limited to Win98/Win2000 and can be made …

The lights should flash continuously if the clock is oscillating. There should be two lights on the card that alternate blinking the entire time the computer is on. If they stop for any reason, that means the clock has stopped. Do you think you could post a short video of what the computer is doing …
