I got this card as part of a bundle, but it's missing the VGA BIOS ROMs (I don't know why anyone would pull them out, they probably didn't know what they were doing). Naturally, this means the card doesn't work, i.e. there is a black screen on boot. I ordered two 16Kx8 EPROMs (27C128, same as on …

Thanks for clearing that up on the 40/44. Thank you for letting me pick your brain and veer off topic. I'd seen the Lo-Tech 2MB EMS Board once before when it was out of stock. Looks great (and cheaper) than other older solutions. Would be awesome if I could get Windows 3.1 running on here. It has a …

It's a 286/12 with 1mb ram maxed. Not sure I need more than 100mb anyway. Great info derSammler! So I'll probably go DOM route. Quick question. is the 44 pin going to fit in the sale IDE jack? One has power cord (40) and the other doesn't b/c it draws off the socket(44) so either works? I am …

My Hyundai 286 has Award Bios 3.13b. It only allows HDD type 1 - 47. The Connor that was in it had the magic smoke. So I'm looking at a solid state solution, probably DOM. However, I can't find anything that has the heads, cylinders, sectors, etc that match. Since I can't enter the correct settings, …

Cool. That is how my jumpers are set. Hopefully now that it is the weekend I get to mess with this and get a HDD in the unit. So far it's just been playing with ram upgrads on the MB and video card, plus fixing the battery. Can't wait to see what she can do.

Greetings, Sorry for the semi-necro-bump, but I'm looking for jumper settings on the PVGA1B wd90c00-jk. Just installed extra ram, and wondered if I need to do anything to access it. I'm going to locate and run the test program above. First I need to get some drives put in. Thanks in advance.

Evergreen "Rev To 486" part 295. The 50Mhz version is part 294. You can also consider "Make it 486" from Improve It Technologies, and I think Kingston also had a few kits. You can also try Yahoo Japan. There are some upgrades designed for PC98 systems, but I have two from Buffalo and they work just …

Yes indeed, the Evergreen 286 upgrade module I have fits a 68-pin PLCC 286 socket like the one in your picture. It can also be installed in a PGA socket with an adapter. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_CzHY0sEvu6A/SY_Lauh05LI/AAAAAAAABXA/LVmPZx_rXhA/s640/EvergreenIBM-Cyrix-286-upgrade-L.jpg The 486SXL2-66 …

Thank you for all of the information. Does anyone know if the laser lens hops are available for any of this these days? I was able to find untested or known bad drives.

It would be great if anyone would weigh in with model numbers of single speed drives that support this. I'm putting it in a 286 so that would be awesome to use a 1 or 2 speed drive. I don't see any CD562 or 563 on eBay are they rare?

Just won a Creative Sound Blaster SB16 Value CT2770. This has the Panasonic/Creative interface. I don't have a CD-ROM yet. What would you recommend? Will any IDE work as long as a specific driver is used, or must it be a specific model of drive. Is there a master list of compatible drives? Thanks in …

Another stupid question. What is the edge connector at the top of this and other old graphics cards for? Thanks It's a feature connector. Allows other cards to directly access the VGA memory, bypassing the CPU. It was used for example for MPEG video playback cards and similar things. Is there …

I see they have versions for Windows. I'd specifically had one for DOS.

Thanks guys, guess I was wrong. Must have been Genesis. In the 90s I played both frequently. Always thought that was TG16. Is there a good resource for DOS based emulators? Looking around google I didn't have much luck, just modern stuff. Thanks
