It's a long shot, but I've got an old Gateway 4SX-33 here on the OLD 1.01 PhoenixBios that's absolutely rubbish (well, the Opti chipset made for a 386 does not help) I am curious if anyone knows of anywhere there's a mirror of the old MicroFirmware updates for these boards? I know there's a...

I'd be interested in it, shipping wise, I'm fine even generating my own UPS ground label. What would be the shipping dimensions/weight be? Of course i'd pay for packing material and dropping off.

I have a working pulled Gateway Essential 450 Celeron Motherboard that will come with 256MB RAM. I swapped it for a slightly newer Gateway MB that I could put a 1GHz PIII into. It's got 8MB Rage 3D graphics, and a Creative Labs SB128 on board, and 3PCI slots. It's just been sitting on a shelf...

Hello! I am looking for a Baby AT case to put my 486 VLB board into. I have repaired the board, and have basically everything but finding a case that's not overpriced for it's condition on eBay is not exactly easy. If anyone has leads on where to get a baby AT case in decent condition (prefer...

I just picked one of these up off fleabay claimed to power up (comes tomorrow) I've got an AMD 100MHz Socket 3 CPU here, and curious if it'll work in the board as in the pics it looks to take 72-PIN RAM, so it *should* be new enough to take it. I cannot find anything on the model, but plan on...

hey, so i purchased two new dallas chips for my 55sx and model 30 since my soldering skills kind of suck The chip went in perfectly, and seems to have the same pins (have not quite looked at the layout), but now the computer refuses to boot from the hard drive, even though i can see it and...

I've got an ethernet card for my performa and it's been working great. I've been able to email attachments to it using my free aol account and aol 3.0, but i was wondering if i could get a copy of 4.0 since it seems to auto update itself to 5.0 and can still do most things i cannot find a...

disclamer: my thoughts right now are all over the place since i just worked eight hours after having classes this morning, so please forgive me if they do not exactly make sense. so, i have yet to find an app that can do this in Snow Leopard and beyond at least for a reasonable price (or has...

I have a performa 575 right now, and i am wanting to throw the PPC upgrade in it just to do it (i know it'll only be 66MHz, but i want it anyway) i found this one on eBay, and it says it's for the Quadra by what i can find looking it up Just wondering if there is any way i can wrangle to make...

hey we were talking about BBS's tonight and somehow we got on the old-school prodigy service (the one that ran in DOS and had no Internet access) im wondering here if anyone had it, we got it back in '94 with our Gateway 2000 DX 50Mhz machine and the built in 9600bps modem.. we had it until it...

Hey im looking for a good ethernet card for my PS/2 286 machine, luckily its an ISA model, but i have an EA201 from netgear, but even if i use the NE2000 compatible driver, or the netgear driver, i cannot get arachne to use the card. The generic NE2000 seems to talk to the card and arachne can...

Ok, so i have this system that's set up on my desk and all it's used for is generally internet radio through Windows Media Player 6.1 and making floppies for my old systems, but has developed an really odd issue. When i am using Windows 95 (i have re-installed using my OSR 2 disc and also...
