If everything else fails, you could buy a PS/2 expansion card, if you have a spare PCI slot in there. They shouldn't be too expensive.

Was in a similar situation until a couple of days ago. Planned on doing a SS7 MVP 3 build with my Creative Labs 3D Blaster Savage Pro 32 MB and Voodoo 1. CPU would have been K6 -2 500, same as yours. Unfortunately the motherboard has some issues identified a bit too late (shorted caps), so had to …

Have you considered Volo's Gamepad to PS/2 adapter?

As I said earlier in the thread, I was in a similar situation with my Gigabyte board. Yours has a native CF slot, but the issues are similar. I think a smaller capacity might do the trick . In 2005 Compact Flash Rev. 3.0 was announced, and the size at the time were up to 8 GB. So what I would …

Good point! However, the CF could have been replaced at some stage (which it was) and was curious if this is the one it had in it when you got it, and if it ever worked ? (probably not). Also, a little bit less salt would be appreciated.

Well obviously you won't be able to, but at least you know that the CF is the culprit. You'll have to find a CF that plays nice with the client. Different size/brand, industrial, etc. BTW , is this the original CF that came with the machine, the one you are using now?

I understand, but if you can manage to use an IDE disk tomorrow that would be great. Have a feeling the disk will work just fine.

I guess this thing has USB ports? Is there an option that allows you to boot from USB CD/DVD-Roms perhaps? And use an IDE hard disk instead of the CF card? This is to test and see if the CF card is the issue.

Yeah, that's not actually the Bios, just the boot agent. Still using one of those , same model in fact, and remember having issues accessing the Bios using the wireless keyboard so a PS2 keyboard solved it. Usual F2 or Del key should do the trick iirc.

The case looks nice. Got a similar system although paired mine with Voodoo 3 and half the ram. What happened to those stickers they don't look right 😁 Also, some pictures of the inside would be nice 😊

I think the specs was more of a guess on the author's part. Probably worked it by the OS. I think from when they started building that thing and by the time they finished it , Windows 98 got around so that's what they used I guess. I don't know, just speculating but they could be near the specs if …

The old man (gotta love Jeff Bridges), Strange new worlds, done with Kenobi (underwhelming, I must say), Castlevania - season 4, Dark winds , The boys.

🤣 my thoughts exactly I'm actually wondering about the specs: 90mhz Pentium processor sounds rather under-powered for such a machine. Then again these things take years to complete so Windows 98 does make sense that way. Windows 98 remote update in 2022, on Mars no less!

Hey guys. Thought this would be an interesting read 😀 https://www.techradar.com/news/mars-probe-run … ter-two-decades

There is another thread on a Gigabyte motherboard with a similar southbridge chip, the VT8235M. I also own a board like that and they can be a headache to figure out. Have a look at the thread, it's got some info on bootable usb's as well. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=62083 Personally, I …

I have a GA-PCV2 board with a C3 Nehemiah 1GHz and planning to use a HIS Vanta PCI 16 Mb as there's only one PCI slot available on the board and that's the strongest card I have for it. I would have loved a 3Dfx Voodoo 3 PCI though.
