Activity Stream

0x300 was a very common default IO port for early SCSI adapters. Try to switch your NIC over to 280

I really like this. I may be demonstrating my total ignorance of the marketplace, but is there a ready-to-buy 'replica' Mac of this kind?...

Try running Microsoft's DOS 'MSD' and/or 'Check-It' and see where everything is at. I too run a SCSI card once in a while on my SX but I don't use a...

Small advice: fix the CMOS battery first before trying to find out what's wrong with the system. Many early systems simply act weird if the CMOS...

Is this an 8253 or an 8254 (more common on later early systems)? It's always a good idea to latch the value, then read.

I could cut the fingers of a RK8-E and use those.:p

Apologies for the minor thread hijack, but your ship has come in. http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?78490

Again, there is a DOS utility to manually invoke trim. I DO care about linear transfer speeds, and every CF card I've tried has been slower than IDE...

Magazine page 225 here talks about it (the article starts on page 216ish)...

I've had many a quick draw battle buy-it-now with Mr Alphasite...he is good. :)

Hear, hear!

Have you tried Gsetup? Maybe there's a chance the settings are AT compatible and that might work I also saw another comment in your other thread...

It is a re-branded SOTA 286 ... nice cards. Try to keep it off the carpet though, even small amounts of static electricity could damage the board.

I picked up some Compaq ones from a guy on eBay who makes them.

Ctrl-alt-enter should get you into setup on that machine, according to google. Another common key stroke is ctrl-alt-s.

Finding an OS to support trim on a Socket 7 or lower CPU would be rough. Linux perhaps. I've never really cared about read/write speeds in legacy...

0x300 too I'd guess. :D

Yeah, found the article from 2016. Gobble 'em up and spit 'em out, I guess.

Unfortunately, there's no standard. FH drives in the 5170 used plastic rails. I've still got a small pile of those.

Thanks. I read through that thread. There is a header on my motherboard for a battery pack, but I have not plugged a battery in. Because I can...
