This is ongoing as I gather all relevant information on each PC.

Retro (Pentium III and Below)

Custom 01 (486 DX2) DOS 6.22/Windows 3.11
PC is fully functional
-G486HVL Motherboard
-ESS 1688 Sound Blaster Clone
Dell Dimension 4100 (Pentium III) Windows 98SE
PC is fully functional
-nVidia TNT2-M64, v. 6.34, A03
-SB Live!
Dell Optiplex GX150 (Pentium III) Windows 98SE
Weird graphical glitches since downgrading from Windows XP to Windows 98SE. In the process of testing different drivers. (SOLVED: Faulty VGA Cable)
-Celeron (Pentium III Tualatin-based) Family 6 Model 11 Stepping 1 1.20GHz
-Radeon 9200SE 128MB
Gateway G6-333 (Pentium II) Windows 95
PC is fully functional
-Voodoo 2
-AWE64 Gold ISA

I'm going to plug each one in and run belarc advisor to get some more details. If anyone has any suggestions for switching up the builds, I'm all ears!

Sorry for necroposting, do you still have the G486HVL board ? Anything about it would be useful (board photo, POST screen, BIOS dump, etc.)

I do. How can I help?

Wow, it's been a while, I even forgot I made this request and the specifics behind it 😁

Anyway, here is the TRW page of the board https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/joinda … systems-g486hvl
As I'm writing this, there is not much known of it, no BIOSes, no manuals, not even a picture of it.

So, if you could provide anything for it (a BIOS dump, a photo and/or a manual), it would be appreciated.
