    Opinion Question: Tale of two CPUs

    It would support the 83MHz Overdrive...if they weren't at blood diamond money costs on FleaBay now. :/

    Opinion Question: Tale of two CPUs

    I have a Socket 3 board that works pretty well. It has 128K of cache (can go higher, just need good chips to put in it), and supports up to a DX4-100Mhz. I've thought about it a bit. It does support a 40MHz and 50MHz bus. So, if you had the choice of either of these two CPUs: DX4-100Mhz...

    Feasibility of connecting a PCI GPU to a MiniPCI slot

    Yeah, it should work just fine. You might need to provide some supplemental power to the 3.3v/5v lines since Mini PCI cards had a much lower draw than your standard PCI cards.

    Picked up a neat AthlonXP palomino box for free

    Oh nice!! That case even has mounts for 2.5" SSD drives. That's a good find!

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    The firmware in that repo is not for the IIGS, it's for flashing onto the Arduino and is based on which of the two models you're building (SMD or through hole soldering). As for the gerbers, you zip up the entire gerbers folder to upload to JLCPCB or PCBWay. All of the files in that folder are...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    That's both awesome and now I feel incredibly foolish for soldering 21 freaking wires to 19 pins, when I only really needed 9. 😒 Oh well, at least now I know I have a cable that would also work just fine with a DuoDrive...if I ever get my hands on one of those and 5/14" floppies.

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    I finally, finally managed to get time to build the DB25-->DB19 cable (wired the same as the DuoDisk drive cable). I can indeed confirm the firmware works with a IIgs. Here's mine fully assembled and connected (hooked up via RCA through a USB capture device) Huge thanks for BMOW for the wiring...

    A unicorn VLB card - AEC-1710S

    While doing a random, late night ebay search (they're the best really), I found this: Your eyes are not deceiving you. There is a 34-pin Floppy port (pretty standard), a 40-pin IDE port, 15-pin "Game" port, 9-pin Serial port, and physical DB25 Parallel and DB9 Serial ports are on the bracket...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    I have a Floppy Emu (from Big Mess of Wires) which works great. It's a little more expensive but honestly worth it. As for your IIgs question, the IIgs uses a 15Hz refresh which not all monitors tolerate/work with. If you can get a monitor for a reasonable price, it's worth it to at least have...

    Announcing BlueSCSI Toolbox – Web Edition

    This is part of the reason why I did it the way I did. I didn't have a JST connector to plug into the BlueSCSI PCB (still don't) but wanted to test out the WebUI. Stacked like this does make pressing the button to flash/update the firmware on the "BlueSCSI" Pico a little tricky, but it works...

    Welcome to the forums! Apologies again for the misunderstanding.

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    Thanks for posting this! I recently went to flash/program my newly built adapter, and was having issues getting the sketch to compile. Turns out there's some major changes in the SdFat library that makes the 2.x version incompatible with the SmartPortSD code. Downgrading to the 1.1.4 version...

    Thinkpad 240X

    Granted, I did have to run EZBios to enable LBA48-bit and access anything past the 8GB barrier, but it does work! Installed/Runs Windows 98SE without a hitch.

    Thinkpad 240X

    I've used this mSata to IDE adapter in a couple older laptops, most recently in one with a Pentium 1 200Mhz MMX processor: https://www.amazon.com/mSATA-44pin-Notebook-Laptop-Enclosure/dp/B01GRMUQRG/ That and a reliable mSata SSD (Samsung, Crucial, etc.) would give you a decent boot to...

    Thinkpad 240X

    Windows 7 is out of the question. All Intel CPUs from the 386 through the Pentium iV, are 32-bit only and cannot support more than 4GB of RAM, if the motherboard/chipset can even support that much. It wasn't until the late Pentium 3 (late coppermine/tualatin) and Pentium IV systems that 2GB -...
