May be you know this, but i must say - only old ATX support -5v line, since ATX 2.0 (about 2004) -5v removed from standard.

I think the small "black boxes" are there to fix this issue? 😀

I changed my wording, might have been unclear. Yes these adapters have a voltage regulator / converter to add the -5V. Can't wait to test it and make sure it work 😀

Would be nice to know what regulator type is under that black box.

Removed from standard but not forbidden (it's optional). I have modern ATX12V PSU with -5V.

Budget PSUs using the old designs still come with a -5v rail from time to time, but I'm not aware of any good ones that do.

Well, there are some 380W CoolerMasters that are made to ATX 1.3 standards, from what I can see - could yours be one of those?

I bought this Geforce 7800GS AGP for 21 Euro + 5 Euro shipping.

The seller also provided this picture, without it I would not have paid this much for it...

Bought this little bad-boy for a small price of 50 Dkr (7,49 US-Dollars)
I have yet to test it out. Besides some small amount of dust, it is in great shape.

EDIT:
Allso. I found a perfectly working and complete HP/Compaq DC7600-SFF desktop computer.
Not really retro, as the system is a 9??-G express chipset machine. Socket775.
The price was 58 Dkr. Anyway. It is going to be used as an machine for recepies and Sims3.

Yesterday I got a new Dallas DS12887a RTC for my P-133. It originally had a VIA82887-based HT12888a. Even though I've read in several places that they are not 100% compatible, the PC works fine with it. And yes, I knew I could try modding the original RTC adding an external battery... and I actually tried that a while ago, but I was a bit careless then and broke one of the battery pins, so I had no choice but to replace it.

I also got this Media Magic Audio16c ISA sound card. Apparently, this is a very close clone of the OPTi 82c929a-based Turtle Beach Monte Carlo... I even used the Monte Carlo's drivers successfully. My only gripe with this card are the crystals: this one has taller crystals than the ones in Monte Carlo, so it interferes somewhat when mounting a WT daughterboard. Might replace them in the future. Also getting this thing going was a bit finicky... I had to assign IRQs, DMAs and port adresses manually in my Compaq's BIOS. This thing needs 3 IRQs (one for SBPro, one for WSS and one for MPU401, and the driver craps out if you try using the same one between two of them)!

This board impressed me: Media Magic apparently copied Turtle Beach very well. The Line Out is cleaner than my YMF719-s cheap card (which wasn't bad in the first place), WSS doesn't give me weird crashes in Warcraft II and SBPro mode doesn't sound as... harsh? Anyway, does anyone know how to switch from SBPro mode to WSS mode from the command line? Unlike the YMF719, this doesn't switch automatically. Also, I had issues using he SBPro part in IRQ5, as this worked in pure DOS but the Windows drivers did not work correctly with it, IRQ7 is trouble-free. Also, does anyone know why this board needs a separate IRQ for the MPU401?

Sorry, I don't have answers to your questions, but I recently installed a Shuttle HOT-233 (Shuttle Sound System 48 / OPTi Mad 16 Pro) which is very similar, if not identical. Installation in DOS gave me no problems at all, and the sound quality of the OPL3 is EXCELLENT. Very happy with this card.

I have the almost exact same card, exact latout to last detail except: LS-212 instead of OPL, and Analog Devices AD1846JP instad of big Crystal chip. On the label at the back says "MediaMgic 9501". I tried and look around but never able to find any useful info or drivers. I wonder if yours is also "9501"?

Now watch the packaging... not really ideal... as I payed 16€ for postage instead of 9€. Because the package was too large for small packages 😵

At least the original box in is a good condition 😈

Requests here!

We will have to do a AGP vs PCI-E shoot out 😁

The card I bought pictured above should also be a 7800 GT with G71 core eventough its named 7800 GS, sneaky Gainward.
They even made a golden sample version with all pipes and shaders activated... Nvidia was not amused but Gainward sold alot of cards.
