I had a great many threads "bookmarked" through the old forum software, but I see no way to access them now No I'm not talking about bookmarking them in my browser, it was a function of the old forum software that seems to be missing or disabled now

is the onboard IDE interface of the luckystar an integrated PCI controller or just a basic ATA on the ISA bus?

Re: Easiest way to add a 5.25" floppy to my multiboot machine?

The K7VT2 has a floppy controller on-board. Not sure what the actual question now is. Just connect it the same way it's connected in your 386. Are you sure?? Not talking about a 3.44" diskette drive. Talking about a 5.25" floppy drive. both 3.5" and 5.25" drives have the exact same interface, if …

Thanks for all of the help. I'll get the tantalum caps on order and try to get them all replaced nicely. As for the values of the capacitors, I assume the modern Adlib kits are using the same values? If not, has anyone documented them? the radlib et al. are meant to be 100% exact clones AFAIK, so …
