Here's a pic of the mobo.

I found an old Packard Bell machine with a 486 in an Overdrive ready socket, with no quad-flatpack cpu on the board. At first I could not get anythign out of it, only a blinking HDD activity light that was in time with the actual drive "clunking". After removing the HDD, it sometimes, and I mean...

I've been trying to get a soundblaster 16 I've got working in a Pentium MMX 233 machine, but nothing sees the card. Syschk doesn't see it in the IRQ list, and the driver setup doesn't see it at all. I just pulled it from a PS/1 2133-g11 where it worked fine, so I don't think its the card. The...

I have looked everywhere online and have yet to find the actual drivers for this mouse, the model is m-rb24. I did find a couple sites talking about it, but no dice on drivers, anyone got any or a place where i could find them?

Hi, is there a quick way to transfer data to and from an IBM PS/1? It's got an 85mb IDE drive, but every other system I've connected it to doesn't recognize it, or fails while attempting to write to it. I really want to put some games on this without having a billion floppies to move around...

Recently I got a Compaq Portable, but one of the 5.25 drives is bad, is there a way I can add a 3.5in drive to the system? I have seen some floppy controllers on eBay, but I don't know if they support 3.5 in, and some of them have 16bit ISA slots, which is no use to me and my 8bit slots. Is...

Hello VCF! I have recently gotten a Compaq Portable i from eBay, but it didn't come with any disks or software. I have tried numerous images that I have found online, and written to a 360k 5 1/4 disk, but not a single one will boot. The farthest I've gotten was a message that the Command...
