No, I can see only the Multifat partition which is DOS. And the new clean partition. What I have found is that if I continue with the installation of windows 95 after OS Wizard, I insert the boot disket. I can only see A: and C: which is empty. If I take out the CF card to my modern pc in order to …

I changed J8 to J15 and the voltage to 2.8v It seem that if I connect my CF Drive it does that. It won't recognize it at all, not in Primay IDE, and not Secondary. either Master or Slave. 20220323_211735.jpg I managed now to get the MASTER and SLAVE working. HD is Master, CDROM is Slave. my DOS and …

Thank you for your private message Sphere478, but I can't reply there yet since I'm new and don't have the option. I hope the 266 is fine as it was never overheated, and the same problem occurred on my 133. This problem did not happen before I replaced the 2 capacitors. but it worked fine for 1 …

Thanks, I will try that today. So P54C is for non MMX cpu, and P55C is for MMX cpu? that's how I got the computer running with 3.38V, picture I supplied of the 266mhz is from the internet, I will take a picture of mine today also (but was there a different 1.9v and 3+v by standard?) I have found a …

SORRY I was confused. My CPU is actually 266MMX and not 233. Picture: yhst-172536426-9_2513_7948120934__10294.1527499763.jpg I haven't touched the jumpers. I tried to use 133MHZ NON MMX without changing the jumpers and I got 110MHZ, but the problem was still the same. The original 266MMX was running …

I just realized that it reconize 266MHZ instead of 233!! My CPU is 233MHZ Even if I connect my other CPU 133MHZ it recognize 110!! Something has got wrong with the voltage, maybe the caps I replaced? It's weird because it's the same specs and by eye it looks ok!

If time isn't an issue, I could look for mine. I have a TM-586TX4 as well, never recapped, all original caps intact. EDIT - here are some photos for the database. As for the caps near the CPU, they all have 1500uF 6.3v printed on them. Thanks for the picture ! Mine is VER 2.2 and yours is 2.1 My …

Btw, you say that’s a 430tx, Your max system specs are (if you are curious) -256mb sdram -K6-3+450mhz (500 if you can find a undocumented 83.3mhz fsb setting) -A radeon 7500 would probably work very well as a gpu in that board. Geforce 2 mx400, and voodoo 5 are other good options. The 7500 is …
