I guess any card that has a "LPB connector" first card I found was the Diamond Stealth64 2001 as well, also Stealth 3D 2000... maybe there were others.

so upon searching through vogons I came upon this thread featuring the same board: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=32049&start=20#p292428 and at least according to this picture the tag cache seems to sit on the opposite side, so the whole thing is 180° around... I currently have the 8k x …

New parcel from the "screwdriver-man". This time he asked if I am interested before applying the screwdriver - and yes, I was. Increased price this time but 60€ is still OK... :lol: well at least they're safe now I just got a slew of e-mails from my forwarding service that there's like 100kg of …

My 386 board is going to benefit from the extra speed once I start playing with speeds higher that 40MHz. it comes down to what sort of timing settings a particular motherboard offers I've been a bit overwhelmed with all the options in the bios, especially without any manual ^^ but there are a lot …
Re: solved - cache burning up

Ok, so I put a fresh set of cache in the board, now it boots up and recognizes 16000KB RAM, which is the maximum cachable amount with 128k I guess? but why 16000 and not 16384? ^^ Without cache it detects the full 32768MB, is there any setting to get the full amount with cache enabled, or should I …

thank you, I just did that while you replied, that seems to be exactly it. unfortunately the image on TH99 is wrong apparently (or they are not the same boards :confused: ) and there is no indication on the board about orientation, but apparently whoever had the board before me did run into the …

awesome 😀 I might get some maybe, the problem is I already have some ^^ ... just one question, and excuse my ignorance, what is the main use for these, do pre-386 even benefit from ram faster than 70ns? I'm asking because the 386 baord I'm planning to use right now already has 72-pin slots.

I'm using a forwarding service from germany, hence why I usually pay exorbitant amounts of shipping 🙁 but so far this has been the best source of anything for me.

I tried setting up a 386 from scratch today... been a while since I worked with old hardware so I need to ease into it again... at first it didn't boot at all, so I went through touching the cpu... warm... gpu... warm... then I accidentally slipped my finger over the cache... ouch! there were only …

If I see an interesting lot with missing brackets I always ask the seller at the beginning of the auction if he still has the brackets and can add them. Many times he has. Dont know why they take the effort to remove them if they think its scrap anyway... yeah I did that too after seeing your post …

Imi, did you see that offer? :-p This was the only sellers photo for a buy-at-once offer (30€). Already the CMS chips are worth that money. Box arrived today, some nice surprises were also in the box :-) Box arrived as shown on the photo, box closed without further packaging material. Photos of the …

Has anyone had an eBay auction just get terminated before running out? I was watching this camera that had only one day left to go with 0 bids. Last night it just went to "item unavailable". I guess they pulled it because it was threatening to fetch too low a price -- but you can only do that by …

it's the same here, 10€ flat fee on top of import VAT and customs, luckily it's the same for EMS, but any other couriers usually charge way more even. the only way to get around it is to buy through a store that does the customs for you in advance, ebay international shipping program for example as …
