Re: failed BIOS update and programming an AT49F002NT DIP-32 EEPROM BIOS

I guess I have no choice. What do you think the odds are that the board is recoverable and that I didn't fry anything?

Unfortunately, I don't have another board with that kind of bios. They all seem to be PLCC-32 type, which I'm guessing is serial. Any recommendations? Would this work? They seem to be a bit cheaper than the TLC866II that everyone always talks about. Or would none of these work with my chip?

I'm not too knowledgeable here, but I was performing a bios update on my abit VA6 motherboard and it froze up on me midway through and didn't complete. To make matters worse, as I went to power down the machine after 10 minutes of waiting, there was a short with my sd card adapter. To be exact, the …

Had no idea nail polish was alcohol-soluble. I'll probably just try a little 2-part epoxy then.
Coating an uninsulated bodge wire

I recently repaired an old athlon xp board I had, which had a damaged trace leading from one of the dimm slots. I used a single copper strand taken from one of the wires of an old usb cable. Everything works great now, but I'm wondering what I should cover this with. It's pretty delicate and small …

cyclone3d, I received the card today. Amazing! Thanks so much! I didn't think I'd ever see one of these. I'm still waiting on some other parts. I'll post photos when the system is all together.

Will do. I'll be installing it to an old AT/ATX hybrid case I just got finished repairing some cracks on. The miracles of acetone.

cyclone3d, thank you wow. If you could get one of those to me, that would be incredible!

I can only find one of those for sale on ebay right now and it comes with the motherboard. Needless to say, the guy is asking too much. I'll have to keep my eye out for one of those, since I think making one is not going to be practical. Looks a bit complicated. Maybe if I'm desperate enough, I'll …

great! would I need any active components on this adapter, or is it just a matter of getting the right connectors and wiring it up?

Oh wow, thanks. I always forget to check there.

Wow, I didn't even notice that opl3 there. Would this breakout header have been included with the board? What would be involved in making one? Would anyone be able to show me a picture of what it looks like?

I don't know the model, but I'm pretty sure it's an intel board. It just has that look. You can see, in the pics, some stickers with codes, but I tried googling them and had no luck. In the second picture, you can see the chip near the pci slots toward the edge of the board.

I just ordered a socket 7 Intel motherboard with an onboard Crystal "CS4232-KQ EP" chip. The board is AT and has no other io ports other than keyboard. How exactly can I make use of that chip? Do I install a secondary sound card and use the internal inputs on that card, or what? Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure many BIOS setups have both settings.
Difference between USB Legacy Support and Port 60/64 Emulation
Posted on 2020-05-21, 15:29
I know that enabling usb legacy support allows you to use a usb keyboard in a legacy os such as DOS, but then what is port 60/64 emulation. Judging by the various descriptions I've read, it seems to do the same thing. Could someone please explain the difference. Thanks.

There are definitely compatibility and power issues with USB 1.0. I have an Intel PD440FX with USB 1.0 and have disabled it as a result of trying to use a usb keyboard with the thing. Not only did the usb keyboard not work, the motherboard went bonkers and I couldn't get any keyboard to work, …

Sorry for taking so long to get back. I tried your suggestion--no luck. I also tried different bus mastering drivers besides the ones included with windows 98. Specifically, the triones drivers. But sadly, that did not work either. This must just be a compatibility issue with the sintechi sd ide …

And how might I disable this feature. What's the feature called? Thanks for your help.

I have an intel pd440fx (slot1) motherboard with win98se installed. I also use a sd to ide adapter. Whenever I check DMA for the adapter, i start having all kinds of problems--blue screens, failed write operations, and so on. I noticed, however, that my cdrom drive has DMA checked in device manager …
