No, I dont have documentation...try all DIPs and look what changes.

Stupid question...your keyboard is a XT one?

Yep, I've ran into it once or twice. It my case it seemed to happen when two people try to post at the same time.

Ofcourse yes, try with a BTC-5060XT keyboard.
I tried some combinations with SW1, it is almost same as standard XT clone .
I think floppy drive type set by SW2, but i cant find floppy ROM extension onboard, so this MoBo support only 360K/720K drives.
The function of SW2 is still unknown to me.
As i see, CN1 and CN3 are serial port header, CN2 paralell port header, and C4 is gameport.
The keyboard error is a concern, but I will find a solution. (keylock can be opened with a shortcut on KYLO header)

A dump of the ROM BIOS attached.

Thanks!

Man you guys are right about prices getting insane for anything Voodoo, I could only afford half of one, paid FIVE times as much as for my last PCIe card (That'll get everyone looking back in the thread 🤣 )

Then there's some kind of crystal media PCI sound card thing... I was hoping it was better, but suspected from the layout it might be an ESS or CM chip under there. Popped my Turtle Beach cherry anyway 🤣

Hey, I think I have that same Voodoo Banshee card! Though mine seems to have a different screen printed logo, even though they say the same thing.

Cool, must be what they call the new logo. Pondering what to run mine in, well it will be a while, but want to have it put in a mental pigeonhole. Think I can dig up a Biostar M5VIA, maybe chuck a K6-233 in it. Or it might end up in a slot 1 PII build.

I know it's not the correct thread for this, but couldn't find one. How much should I offer for a 486 with the cx486dx4-s@100mhz?

That depends entirely on the rest of the hardware.. mostly the video and sound card if any.

Its got the FIC 486-VIP-IO2 motherboard, can't recognise anything else from this picture he sent me, he's also asking 75€ for it now.

Hello,
does anyone recognize this MoBo?
Its a XT clone with M1101 integrated circuit, integrated serial/paralell ports, and floppy interface, and onboard Varta battery.
I can't find information over the WEB.
Made by VIP.

Thanks!

To me it's looking like a Maxtor HDD in the 540-8GB range and a 1 or 2MB PCI SVGA card. Heatsink looks like something that would go on DX4 class. 75€ is probably about half of the minimum it would fetch on eBay these days in auction or a third what it would be on a buy it now listing. Probably worth it for the case and a motherboard you can run "anything" 486 on. If it checks some boxes for you, go for it.

Bought a 386/486 motherboard, GMB-786UN.
Sports a soldered PQFP AMD 386 40 mhz but has a 486 DX2-66 installed (5V). Crystal is hence 33mhz, thus rendering unusable the 386 (would need an 80mhz crystal).

The battery leaked and damaged some traces, I'll have to test the board and most probably troubleshoot and repair the traces.

Will post pics and manual.

The way you said that, it appears you are unaware that the 386 would be perfectly happy running at 33 instead, but I guess you mean you can't use it to it's full 40Mhz potential.

Bought a blue glass Q5 screen cover for my DMG-01 Flo from Progressive build, drop-in TFT with the alignment brackets and glass cover for my other GameBoy Color, GB/GBC/GBA adapter for my laptop so I can back up my saves and ROMS on the fly, and 3 GBC capacitor kits as a preventative maintenance.

Well, new hardware for my older consoles.

Found a Rev 2.0 GA-6BXC posted just today for under half what I paid for the Rev 1.7 (granted, it did come with a Celeron and RAM). It does have a broken slot rail thingie (the black plastic holders on the side of the slot), the BIOS DIP IC is missing, and it looks like they popped the 440BX chipset's cooler off to fit the massive 2-fan monster they have on the included PII, but guess who now has spare parts for those, eh? Plus now I've got a known working Celeron and PII. And the backplate for the board

...maybe my parts hoard is getting too large; is it possible to turn into some retro dragon? Maybe it'll help when I offload some of this onto the local-ish retro communities I'm a part of on Facebook

Downside: my fun time wont happen possibly until next weekend when it arrives at the latest 🙁

Upside: no more spending money 😀 (for now)

Mine is in the system I pulled it out of (Asus P5A, K6-2 500MHz, 256MB of RAM). Works quite well!

Nice, yeah I could do that too, got the AT P5A. I was thinking of blessing that with one of the Voodoo 3s (Should they ever freaking turn up) but I could banshee it first and see.

I wouldn't recommend it, bit knobbly to sleep on.... though having said that, there is a non-zero amount of PC spares under my bed. For a number of years that included an XT clone board and some cards from it, which I removed and put "somewhere safe" so of course I have no clue at all where it is now.

Edit: 2023 update, they actually turned up somewhere hecking unsafe, see posts from Oct '23 in dumpster find thread.

Picked these two up together, as the only bidder. I wanted the ARK, and the Cirrus was just extra weight in the package. When they arrived I took the opportunity to benchmark my small collection of PCI cards, and to my surprise the Cirrus is nipping right at the ARK's heels. So that's the two quickest 2D cards I have now (according to the venerable PierreMark). Pretty happy for a fiver!

I also received a low cost PCI VGA card today. £1.20 (+ 3 pnp)

Will be going in my 486 build Re: 486 DX4 100 Build log.
