Oh yes it does not work, that is why it is there and 300 downloaders did not complain. I re-upped the ISO and did a MD5 compare to original CD and it matches. Not sure if one person had an issue or if archive modded the ISO but it should be the same as the image I created... One has to wonder if one …

Also another problem came up yesterday when I tried some settings with this card. It doesn't like it when I connect a cdrom drive as slave. After doing so my CF card doesn't work anymore. It only works without the cdrom connected. This will probably be easier to fix by using a different cdrom or …

Did you read thru this: http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/5150_5160/hdd/1701_possibilities.htm You cannot change controllers on MFM/RLL drives without reformatting, the drive is "locked" to the specific controller even if trying with same controller types. Intermitten errors are usually a sign the …

Odd: shift+enter works but just enter does not ?? Sounds more than a keyboard issue as each key should work and if only when multi are pressed works that is not the individual key switch but something that matrixes them. Have you removed the ribbon cable and cleaned it end and the socket it goes …

Yeah looks like some type of industrial interface card. On the 16bit ISA part it accesses Gnd, +5v, IRQ10, IRQ11 and IRQ12 if I read it correct. No 16bit Address lines... So some simple 8bit w/16bit IRQ not-high frequency interface to some low speed equipment.....I do not think it was designed to …

Being an old fart that started with DOS I have never really needed a Printer driver until about WinXP when I switched to laser printers. The old Okidata Dot Matrix and Panasonics had drivers built in to most apps and Win9x. I've been using laser printers exclusively since the early 2000's. I only …

Excuse me for not explaining in more detail. Yes the P35 is the Northbridge, it is matched with the ICH9 or ICH9R Southbridge and together is typically considered the "P35 Chipset". Neither the ICH8 or ICH9 support IDE or Floppy, only SATA. So on some boards a separate chip or chips are used for …

Which exact Gigabyte board ? Some use "mixed chipset+additional controller chip", As example the GA-P35-DS4 uses Intel P35 chipset for SATA but the single IDE port (and two more SATA) is off "GIGABYTE SATA2" chip which is a JMicron RAID controller chip. GCDROM.SYS works with some of the JMicron, …

Could be some odd Vtech thing built about 1990 based on the chips but why would someone remove the BIOS chips ? My guess is it was an industrial board and there will be NO found documentation... added: this may help or not 🤣: JUKO NEST XT board questions (manual attached)
