Well, then there's always the true nerd way: alpine 😀 Never tried it on windows but builds are released officially and there are guides on the web with configuration details for outlook/gmail/etc .

To me nothing screams "win 3.1" more than classic early multimedia edutainment: "The way things work" LGR's video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Nz1y7Sj74

Could it be that the board implements digital IO for selecting the fsb instead of choosing it via i2c?

I don't think it's possible at all considering changes to SSL and TLS encryption over the years and retirement of older versions... If transferring files is all you need why are you not using built-in windows networking? Old school FTP might also be easier and faster to setup.

Does it have to be northwood based though? Consider transitional boards with 865 chipset, LGA775 socket and AGP. Most of them have decent W98 support. I managed to get ASUS P5P800-VM for 15 USD. Bought nice, cool cedar mill P4 for 2$ and reused old intel stock cooler for 1$ 😀

I mention those industrial ones too in the thread I linked . Considering the performance limitations of FC1307 based adapters and the, IMHO very decent random read and write performance of the max endurance line, I am not sure the industrial ones are worth the potential extra cost (I mean the …

Rather than cards specified for "endurance" and "continuous video recording" I would personally recommend industrial grade SD cards in A1 class (and specifically NOT A2 as these require special hardware to properly utilize). Such cards are commonly used in industrial computers and PC-based PLCs and …

Hi, Unfortunately I do not have my 440cdt on hand but I'll try to help with things that I remember :) 1. Toshiba still keeps downloads for these models, a bit mixed with more modern stuff but usable: https://support.dynabook.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1073769770&osId=3333621 Unfortunately the …

The JMicron controller also hangs off PCIE 1.0 bus at 1x speed which limits it to around 2.5GT/s total which in turn translates to around 2Gbit/s of useful bandwidth. It's more of a SATA "not …

There are also nice msata-pata adapters (either cheap jmicron based or nicer, more compatible marvell based ones) which coupled with dirt-cheap msata drives from aliexpress (available with capacities as low as 8GB) work nice for old laptops.

Older sata chipsets quite often have broken auto-negotiation, which results in newer sata3 drives falling back to sata1 or sometimes even not working at all. Unless disks support jumpering to sata2 (which is extremely rare, if there is a jumper it's usually to force sata1 for even older chipsets) …

Decided to stop lurking and throw in my two cents here for future searchers as information about such adapters seems a bit scarce :-) The Delock adapter looks identical to Renkforce RF-4174629 which I found to be very compatible. This is the only adapter that worked in my Toshiba SatPro 440CDT ( …
