Greetings everyone!
First post here, so quick presentation:
My day job is that of a Software Developer, but I love collecting/repairing old hardware, building homebrew computers and design simple boards.
I have a small collections of homebrew machines, and actually just completed a Micro8088 build with a 7-slot backplane filled with cards, not a single solder joint on there that I did not make myself!
Getting to the point, I ran into Groza's 386DX SBC (http://www.alexandrugroza.ro/microelectronics … sbmc/index.html, I think ALEKS is in this forum too), and fell in love with the idea of building it.
From what I see, there're still issues with DMA and maybe the mouse, but I wish to try it nonetheless. I'm slowly rounding up all the necessary components to build one.
One thing I can't recover is the BIOS image Alexandru used in his build: it was previosly available for download on that page, but it's now removed. I found a few dumps online that claim to be for the 82C495XLC chip, but I'd really like to reduce variables to a minimum, and get the same version he uses. The identification string reported on the page is: X0-0803-001276-00101111-080893-OP495XLC-H
Anyone has downloaded it and can share it with me?
Thanks
