yours was also an iEi iirc, but quite a different model... I saw that pile and dismissed it because of all the extra junk x3

nice board :) the gigabyte site says "Support up to AMD K6-2/400" I was supposed to get a GA-586ATX a while ago that I scooped up on ebay for really really cheap... but the seller never shipped it and never replied back either :( no paypal unfortunately. got another PICMG board though, including a …

I mean the architecture is well defined and the AMD 5x86 is an 80486 architecture chip... cyrix and winchip probably not so much.

Any ideas, or do I need a setup disk? The computer will boot to DOS on the floppy I provide it, and I did change the CMOS battery, but I want to install a hard disk. I guess you already tried all the usual key combinations, so it might need a floppy. I had a very nice package arrive today... I …

I mean the ingame screenshots don't look that bad honestly, but windows looks bad and textmode is filtered to death x3

that looks pretty bad though 🙁 can't you turn off the excessive filtering somewhere?

they are nice little boards, I have an EPIA 5000 with 533Mhz and a Jetway 7F2WE1G5 with C7 1.5Ghz I was wondering if the dual PCI risers work on the Jetway board as well.

if you can't find a spdif bracket for a few bucks you can also easily make one yourself though, that's not really an argument imho ^^

looks great :3 some textures still seem to get filtered though apparently? wall in the first screenshot and the floor texture. at the door you can see the side walls being filtered while the front facing ones and the door aren't. very weird, can't you just turn off filtering in glquake altogether …

wow I was like "that sony drive looks awesome" then I read that it's the PSX devkit... I guess that's going to be pretty much unattainable. very nice system, also like the case, I'm using a FT05 for a retro build ^^

look for "pcb spacer" they are available in all shapes and sizes I don't know the size off the top of my head but it should probably be something around 10mm?

most boards I had weren't budget no, but not really expensive ones either until recently... sorry if it sounded like that, I just used that as exeggeration that "even most" budget boards had them (at least most of those I checked) ^^ but yeah I get the upgrading cheap systems, I'm just interested to …

well like I said, all the boards I had ever since socket A hat dedicated SPDIF connectors on the I/O even, and most I looked at had at least headers or combo jacks, honestly I haven't looked at a lot of intel board in quite a while, and yes I did find an A320 board without, but I also found a few …

Why else would people pay $1000+ for a GeForce FX 5800 Ultra or spend $400 on an Athlon Slot A Orion 1Ghz CPU? because they a rich and don't have to consider price when looking around for retro parts that they simply want? x3 unfortunately a lot of not even so rare things have become very expensive …

that sounds interesting, I really prefer the sharp pixelated rendering over early texture filtering in a lot of games.
Re: Which one of you was it?
Posted on 2020-04-15, 20:51
yeah, I had offered a good amount for some of the cards and the seller was about to accept, but as I said the reply came too late as someone had already bid the €80 starting price by then, a few days after it started, it's a shame... I don't get why scrappers pay that much for these boxes.
