Got this in a $15 local purchase today, not a bad Enlight 300 watt PSU ! I remember that when the 250W PSU that came bundled with my Enlight EN7237 case blew (almost 20 years ago), it tripped the breaker, but nothing died in the PC . Yeah they do have short circuit, over volt, over current and fan …

CAD is about 50 to 80 plus shipping north of 30 to 50. And that's truepower 550W with 40A. I'll just wait and get one. Would like to know about other brands that seasonic made for others as well with fat 5V current? Remember, exchange rate is lopsided. Cheers, Ahh ok. wish you would add the CA to …

I checked ebay and see used Antec with 30A and other with 40A on 5V but price is high. Is there other quality alternatives other than Antec? Seasonic is thin on this. Cheers, Back in the day most Antec were actually built by Seasonic under contract and there were few (if any) retail Seasonic …

I still have my Vantec Stealth from back when, only does 47A on 5V :( on any new power supplies ~25A is pretty much the best you can get. 3.3V+5V being combines was the norm during socket A days already iirc. Wow ! I remember that name, yes they had good PSU's. There is a couple of the old 420w on …

AIC-7890 drivers for w9x are pretty common, but seems the RAID is another beast. How do I locate the device ID for the RAID controller? Perhaps from the W2K driver info file? Wow brain cramp, I know under XP you just look at the Details tab in Device Manager, then click down to Device ID and it …

Barton 2800+ is typically 68 to 70w. Needs very strong 5V current. High quality PSU is a must. Seasonic 750W will do this. Cheers, Jason Yes I know the $200 psu's can handle the 5v load I'm trying to avoid that price. I'm going to start shopping around I guess for a 2003-2004 seasonic, antec, or …

I read the Radeon 9500 128mb only draws 12 watts with a max of about 30 watt and uses 3.3v. Depending on your board that is supplied directly from the 3.3v PSU or thru a VRM off the 5v or 12v lines. If you disconnect one of the HD's that will free up a little of both 5v and 12v and could point to …

Yes if you used the Win9x drive as a single it would get a speed boost from the cache. I found a driver disk (from Asus P2B-LS) that has a Win9x driver for AIC-7890, could not find anything for 7815. It lists these Device ID's: PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_7890.DeviceDesc="Adaptec AIC-7890 based PCI SCSI …

If I add a single HDD to the RAID controller, won't it still be using the ARO-1130U2 drivers, not the AIC-7890 drivers? Or is it using the AIC-7890 drivers? In my case it uses the 53c895 driver in win9x, not the PERC MegaRaid driver. Am guessing it should use the AIC-7890 driver but you still need …

Yes I can have an array and add a single drive as a one drive element that is not part of the full array, makes it a single drive (like adding a CDROM) attached to same controller and not impacted by the RAID portion.

It’s really too bad they didn’t think more about multi-boot workstations for this RAID card. I recall some of my RAID systems have working Win9x drivers. Have you pulled the sticker to see what exact chip is on the controller card ? It could help ! Possible to find a chip specific Win9x driver. …

I cannot see enough of the board to figure out which model it is. There should be a number silk screened on the board in either XXxxxxXX or xxx-xxxx-xx format (I have a Zeos 386 with XXxxxxXX format on back of board). I attached a TXT file that lists a few of the 486, maybe it will help you figure …
