The Aztech Sound Galaxy NX Pro is one of the best cards out there. Fixed the power issue on my Packard Bell as the SSD, CD drive, and CPU heatsink lost power and moved some cables around and got my drive bracket installed all the way this time. Also did a benchmark on the machine with Speedsys and …

Now that I have the Am386DX-40, I was rather impatient and wanted to test the 386 board I had, to see if there's any life in it. Now, back in March, I ordered some round connector strips from China, which haven't arrived and I'm guessing are lost in postage, and I intended to use some of that to …

There is a well known clicking bug on some SB16s, but I thought the vibra had the ringing bug instead. Have you tried changing dma ports? And that mobo has the wackiest ide port layout i have ever seen. Engineer was drunk perhaps. I have now fixed the AWE32 and I imagine the same will fix the Vibra …

That sounds reasonable. The motherboard was not intended to run a 400mhz cpu. so 1999+ hardware might be asking too much.
