These analyses that armchair quarterbacks bandy back and forth over technical characteristics, while often interesting and sometimes...

Just put it on the back burner and keep collecting parts. Things will show up, eventuallly... I've had projects waiting for...

I think you're looking at the wrong thing. The chip in question is immediately above, but to the left of SW1, or immediately to the...

I assumed it was in a socket. I think gslick has it right. It could very well be relevant, but I would want to have some kind of...

Oh, hm. I'm not sure what that is for. It may not be necessary at all; it's not populated on this board...

Finally found a data sheet for that, as a Harris part (Intersil has been sold several times). Yes, it's a 1K x 4 OTP PROM with tristate...

I can't think of any reason an AST Advantage! would have such a part anywhere on it. But, I am assuming it's mixed in with the rest of...

I don't think so. I think that's an Intersil PROM. In which case I'm not surprised it failed testing.

In my case it was severe enough to notice that my new 33 MHz 386 was having a hard time keeping up with my old 10 MHz 286, in certain...

Beware that the SPARCstorage Array 100- and 200-series take SCSI disks and are ~250 mbit/s FCAL. The StorEdge A5000/A5200 take FCAL...

I only ever noticed it being slow with EMS enabled. Once I realized I didn't need EMS for anything and turned that feature of EMM386...

it'll be on the compaq ecu disk(s), e.g. sp2397 or sp2489.

I am reasonably certain I recall the AT skips addresses between the top of base memory and 1024k while counting memory during the self...

I suppose it depends on the error, but IME if the CFG file contains, say, a syntax error, the ECU will reject it. If your CFG is...

what I've found from my own silly benchmarking efforts is that just the compiler on its own can make more than an order of magnitude...
