@red-ray, Had to run around through some menus to find PCI Bus, as it seems the main window really doesn't fit on 800x600 resolution. Though, when i clicked the PCI Bus, once again, the application freezed. (Just application itself) It's clean install of Windows 95C, the OSR 2.5, latest windows 95. …
Re: Can my SIV utility can read your PCI bus?

Still had to use the ini config file, otherwise stays at PCI detection forever. I have been watching your posts and am wondering if my SIV utility can read your PCI bus, would you like to try it? If so then there is https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=67130 (SIV32L 5.41 Beta-12) attached to …

Still had to use the ini config file, otherwise stays at PCI detection forever. It seems, it detected the cpu better now. Though, i would expect the clock to be same between 386 and 486, as i have changed nothing but the cpu. Benchmark took 14 seconds.

I've restored my pc to 386DX (with FPU) already, but with it the benchmark run for 26 seconds.

@AlaricD, i have also the M321 board. It also had soldered cache and soldered wires instead of pins. I desoldered all of that, placed full set of sockets and missing decoupling capacitors and upgraded it this way to 256kB of cache. About interleaving, what or how can i check?

@CuPid, there you have it! Did a run with 486DLC and 386DX. Only difference is the cpu, everything else is the same. I think the 486DLC's speed is slightly wrong, it should be 40MHz pretty much exactly. I did not change any jumpers, therefore it should run on the same speed as 386DX, which is pretty …

Took my 386DX40 pc, installed the 486DLC40 on it and installed Windows 95. Surprisingly snappy! (CF card, 256kB cache with writeback) Let's see, if i get cpu-z working to help a guy in this forum: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=68615&p=778348#p778348 When i get it working, i downgrade …

@CuPid, version 1.89.3.x32, Windows 95 OSR 2.5. When i start it on my 486dlc, it loads to 10% (PCI) and just has stayed there for like 15min. Any suggestions?

@CuPid, okay, i'll try to find some time during this week to install win95 on it and then run the cpu-z. 😀 Any particular setups you are interested? With/Without FPU, cache, write-back cache, etc?

Re: Changing the BIOS chip on a motherboard?
Posted on 2019-08-15, 14:36
It is recommended that you fill the larger chip. So if you have 2Mb chip and 1Mb ROM, put the ROM in twice: one from the beginning and one from the middle. This protects you from the case when the upper address lines may behave in unknown way - you just don't care, if your chip is full as described …

@dionb, @imi, In Estonia, thankfully we are allowed to do customs work ourselves on customs portal. (And it's really user friendly) We can buy this service from postal company, but it's optional.

@dionb, yes, here in EE, the 22 and 150 eur limits are the same. (The flat tax of 13 eur must be NL specific) But that 22 eur is including shipping and the vat tax goes onto the full price, not on the item price. After 150 eur, the tariff tax goes onto the item price only. (These rules should be the …
Re: Price of this ISA hub?
Posted on 2019-08-14, 14:38
To my knowledge, there is no standard for ISA riser slot positioning on motherboard or lock down mechanism. Therefore different motherboards may have the slot for riser in slightly different positions and the case may not be able to accomodate the shape or the screw holes of this particular riser.
Re: Price of this ISA hub?
Posted on 2019-08-14, 10:07
These things have only value with a case and a motherboard that are going together with it. This alone is almost junk, except when someone has this exact motherboard and case and is missing this riser.
