Wow, that's important warning, thanks. I think there is something like PARITY setting in BIOS, I'll check it later. Fortunately, x36 SIMMs are not so rare on ebay.

Older "trafo" solderers (gun-like ones) emmit strong enough magnetic field while turned on.

Maybe it is Flex3D edition which was originally supplied with RT2000 editing system. https://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/rt200 … oads/utilities/ Try driver from bottom of this page. It should be a bit different.

I was thinking about Benq BL912. It's 1280x1024 display with VGA and DVI (retro and not-so-retro rigs at the same time) and what is most important for me - it also works with Amiga w/out scandoubler.

I just found a guy in my town who is selling some CPUs and he has P133 and he also has 2x8MB EDO modules for sale. Hope he still has it.
