Specs of my baby, named Voodoo:
FIC VA-503+ Motherboard
(extensive tweaking, USB, PS/2 Mouse, AT keyboard, SIMMS/DIMMS both supported, AT/ATX power both supported - best BIOS installed, tried later, unstable, reverted - never changing it again)
512MB DRAM
(2x256, a miracle I found sticks of that at PC100.. or 133 clocked down? Either way, pin-compatible.. :D)
Intel Tillamook 266Mhz overclocked to 300Mhz, 100x3Mhz - 1:1 RAM!
(Pentium Mobile, this one converted by somebody in China - thank you China! :D)
Matrox G250 AGP 2x 8MB
(I have an 8MB SIMM for it which I may use.. this card supports 1080p but also scales back to Win3x drivers.. :D)
Voodoo 2 PCI 8MB by Diamond (I hope to have two in there some day)
SB16 Value (I love the value version, the PnP always works nicely..
)
Cisco Aironet 350 PCI 802.11b Wireless (has DOS, Win3x, 95, 98, etc..)
Promise 133TX2 PCI IDE Controller (ATA133, two channels, works in addition to mobo controller, though I disable that anyway)
120GB HDD (I tried for 750GB, controller bugged writing past a certain point, came w/ a 200GB disk, so it's a bit old for that size it seems even tho it recognized it - even with an overlay, which I don't think comprehended it either, lol)
3.5"/5.25" combo FDD (the 5.25" is also slot loading like a 3.5")
Slot-loading DVD drive
ZIP-250
LS-120
Disney Sound Source
CTX 17" CRT
IBM Model M w/ Silver Badge
IBM PS/2 Oval Mouse w/ Grey Buttons
(sometimes I use original PS/2 mouse, sometimes newer NetScroll.. always IBM though. xD)
3dfx Case Badge (an important component, of course)
It's a smaller AT form factor, dunno technically, but I think it's Baby AT..? Using a smaller-than-mid case, or I'dve crammed more 5.25" and HDDs in.. I have a 5.25" speaker that Id've liked to put in there, heh.
Smooth as silk, has run up to 98SE before, currently working on getting Win3x up and running w/ all the stuff, Windows likes to just exit to DOS (and then crash DOS if you try to use it for long) at the moment - quite odd. Will be fixing that soon enough..
