Re: Easiest way to add a 5.25" floppy to my multiboot machine?
Posted on 2019-12-24, 16:54
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 …

The Baby Screamer is indeed a pretty nice 386 board, but the BIOS options are pretty limited, and normally there isn't DLC support. Thankfully it's already pretty well tuned, and performs well considering the cache isn't double banked. I have one, and I like it. do you mean limited compared to " …

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 …

I'm going to build one myself, I assume the gerbers located at simmconn.tripod.com are still the same board layout as what has been produced in the last couple years? Has anyone been kind enough to publish a BOM with links to digikey? Nope, the new ones are different as at least one of the ICs from …
