Btw, with better RAM and L2 chips you can squeeze 0-WS from this board at 33MHz FSB. I think, when it comes to ISA video cards it goes like this: CL GD-5434 (unfortunatelly they dont work on each and every motherboard), then ET4000AX, then ET4000/W32# (slightly slower than AX in DOS but much faster …

@386DX40 Here is what i see with the same motherboard, same BIOS version + settings, DOS 6.22, Am5x86 CPU 4x33MHz, ... 20231125_152227.jpg ... using 2 different ET4000AX ISA cards. A very late one (top) and an early one (bottom, that is going to be butchered soon for a higher cause). 20231125_153147 …

Ok, i will be open to partition the bulk, but will leave it to Horun. Technically they are his at this point.

Right. I cannot remember what picture the two WDC cards here produce on the 1600x1200 20" Dell LCD i use for retro computing activates, but GD-5434 can make stripes in some DOS games/apps.

that is very interesting indeed, about the WDC VGA card. i have wd90c30 isa and wd90c33-z vlb models and as you said, they are excellent dos blasters, but slightly slower than et4000ax. i still have this motherboard. if you confirm that the numbers you posted are the best you were able to achieve …

Hey 386DX40, had to lookup what PKM-3331 looks like. Funnily enough the image on the RTW is actually from this post early in the thread. Apparently the same assembly was sold under different PKM versions. Good to know you saved the board. These are the fastest 486 ISA assemblies. In addition to the …

@debs3759 No idea really. But i would expect something like $100 or something, given the prices these days.

ISA modem, must be part of the above bulk. Ideally somebody grabs the entire thing.

Another bulk to go. Took the header from the first LAN card. Otherwise the card is fully working. Plop a new header and off you go.

The board starts for a moment and shuts down immediately. Can be a capacitor somewhere ... The problem is that the solder pads and the solder material are high temperature ones, so it takes quite a bit of effort to work with them. I know this from a similar board here.

One of my favorite Slot 1 motherboards. In pristine condition. A month ago it fell silent. I am pretty sure it is something minor, but don't have the time to deal with it. Figured that somebody can fix and enjoy it instead of me keeping it around as a hoarder, pretending that one day will work on it …
