If my brain is working right, B is just fixed A and 133 works right.

A is 66 and B is 100, 133 works also at ide 100. I try to flash it with latest bios and try to use bios patcher also.

I’ve recently bought a few pieces for my retro build, which I will probably put together around October:

- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650
- ASUS Striker II Extreme
- MSI GTX 280 OC
- X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion
- Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600Mhz CL9

I think a lot of people would not consider this retro, however I'm personally a big fan of Socket 775 so would 😀

Picked up some processors this week...

Well, 2008 was 17 years ago, that’s firmly in retro territory for me 😅 I’ll be running WinXP SP3 on it and play games spanning 1998-2007.

Its been a very long time since I logged in. However, I was bored one day and looked on ebay. Found an inexpensive 386 tower with free shipping a few days ago, so bought it. It came today. It had a CD-ROM ISA controller, a GD5420 VGA ISA card, a respectable M321 board with a TLC486-40 cpu in it, 4mb of ram, and.......holy shiz, this baby (no, I'm not selling it. I've been wanting a Roland SCC-1 FOREVER):

Awesome find! I suppose the listing had a photo of the back of the case and when you saw those midi+audio ports your instincts kicked in and hit "Buy It Now" immediately?

Did not buy, because I already have one, but was interested to see that Walmart is claiming to have a Dell Ultrascan 15FS in stock (SVGA CRT monitor from 1993)

Yes, there was a photo, but I have been out of the vintage computing space for a while due to life changes, I didn't even think it was THE Roland. I thought it was some stupid audio converter for the CD-ROM drive, and wondered at the time why there was two of them. I figured if it had a TLC486-40 in it, the motherboard might be worthwhile. I ended up with the awesome Roland SCC-1, and a good vintage system. I'm happy!
