How to use the "IBM Aptiva Multimedia Exploration CD" to restore an Aptiva system? Hello! I recently acquired an excellent condition IBM APTIVA 4144-120 boxed system - it is a CX5x86/100 system with an onboard CL5430 and an OEM SB16 card. Previous user had installed win95 on it but ofcourse...

Hiya! Yesterday I received a nice IBM PS/1 486 tower , model 2168-552. This system uses the VLSI 82C480 chipset (datasheet download) : supposedly "The Last Byte" supports it and have it on it's list but auto-detection fails and if forced to use it the system freezes. I can see the UMB area...

Hello! on SB2.0 cards there are 2 jumpers called JP12-FM and JP13-VOICE : What do they actually do? Does JP12 for example disables the onboard OPL2 completely or it remains active on the bus but the SB MCU ignores it or something? I assume the same would apply to JP13, does it disable the SB...

Hello! I am trying to identify the following 386sx33 ISA SBC in hopes that I will find out what the jumpers do on it :confused: Sadly AFAIR MR-BIOS does not have a string for the manufacturer, here is what the system summary is: There is a logo right of the ISA connector and there is...

Taking inspiration from CarlosTex's thread on VOGONS I am also posting this here in hope that more MR-BIOS images can be gathered :cool: According to the 04-OCT-2001 archived MR-BIOS Chipset Support page there are BIOSes for the following chipsets: I have added all I could find in my...

Hiya! For quite some time I have a Paradise WD90C33-ZZ VLB vga in my collection that I am using when testing VLB systems . It works fine but there are several jumpers on board that I have no idea what they do - maybe they are important and maybe the card can be faster or something :p I...

Hiya! I repaired a friend's Hyundai Super-286E pc but upon boot it complains about drives mismatch and that I should enter SETUP. How on earth do you enter the BIOS settings on this on? I also need to configure a replacement HDD and it won't be possible otherwise... any ideas/help? Thanks in...

Hiya! I have an old ST351A/X HDD and I think it's a perfect match to finally test this JUKO 8BIT IDE controller: So I found on Seagate's FTP the drive's jumper settings: http://computermuseum.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pcdisk/h/ASCII/4252.TXT I can't really understand it, must be getting...

Hiya! anybody here has any info on this Quadram MS1422 multisync monitor? Judging from the analog/ttl switch and the general setup of the input area at the back I am guessing it's an EIZO/NANAO rebranded monitor: Is my assumption true? Most importantly is there a somewhere info...

Hiya! I've been messing with win3.1 and an EGA card: I've got two 256kb EGA cards: one with a CHIPS P82C435 controller and the other with a Paradise PEGA2A . To my understanding both can produce resolutions higher than 640x350 , I have found the P82C435 datasheet and it states in the...

... chapter IXIMXCC of the EGA saga :p I noticed that Commander Keen 4,5 and 6 games are plagued with scrolling issues, have a look at this video: I tried the "Fix Jerky Motion" option but it did not help. Keen Dreams, Keen 1~3 and Biomenace games are fine though. My EGA card uses the...
