I think majestyk is correct about them being cache controllers.

I was just about to say after pondering that that io chip probably got fried. But you are waaaay ahead of me haha. That chip is probably sitting on a parts board you have somewhere I assume? :-) Is the bios fully updated? I assume the hoard is recapped? These are most prominent in my mind for the …

They sometimes send more if there was room on the big pcb that they make all at the same time and cut into smaller pcbs along with what I assume are other orders. I called mouser earlier and canceled my order. Wiretap, can you update the mouser project for the added LEDs and maybe with different …

Following. I’d like to find a simple active cable that lets me use dos to 1600x1200/1920x1080 vga to hdmi Quality of image would be nice but not gonna be super picky about it.

Wow, that poor board. You have the patience of a saint. 👍 I once had an issue where I couldn’t clock above about 350-450mhz stable. Believe it or not it was a bios update that fixed it. 🤷♂️ Food for thought.

This is quite the puzzle. Trying a bunch of different ideas. One of these ideas is bound to be better than the rest. :-) Thoughts H3nrik V!? Both approaches aren’t finished but what do you think has better attributes? This way or previous way? I can probably spread out those signals in the middle a …

I just noticed your unusual ram config also. 🤔 Using not only mis matched in the upper bank but single sided and double sided. This may cause issues. (Or may work.. test and see, but I would never do that. Might be glitchy) Note about that board, it looks like it has smd and dip cache? Or is that …

Yes But a single plane cpu will also jumper vcc2 and vcc3 all by its self as it doesn’t separate them.

I have trouble running it on 586 class computers with a lot of cards. It is more for 486 and older I gather. But it is super cool …

Thx 😀 Calamitylime found a plug in somewhere that tear dropps the ends also, I could try looking into that. I’m having trouble getting some routed. I think this has a lot to do with trying to use larger traces. I’ve started using the top and bottom layers also to try and keep the larger traces 🙁

I've done some pondering and am going to start over on the trace routing entirely. It has been in the back of my mind that clocking the socket differently may give better routing possibilities. Also having pin 1 on two different corners is really bugging me I left the large socket as is and am going …

Yeah, I know. It’s a mess still. Not even beta yet man :-) it’ll get there. Thanks for the feedback though. It is important. Not much point in pointing out flaws just yet as there are so many left to fix. Gimme a little bit to attack the trace and plane routing and then get back to me :-) ground …
Re: Do you *need* a swap file with Win98 & 384/512MB RAM (...continued)?

It seems like you might be able to build some commands into the dos files that boot windows like autoexec.bat etc. don’t ask me how though. This would also be handy for my iRam drive. To auto format it and set it to swap/page file.

I’ve disabled swap on all my ssd builds. Seems to run fine…? But I freaking love the idea of converting upper(upper) memory into a ram drive and assigning the swap file to it. Have you by chance monitored this ram drive in system monitor or some program to see if it is being accessed much when ram …
