Yeah tested it today, I have a 2 slot 8 bit ISA riser, works with TVGA9000. Seems like a good SBC. The problem is even a 3 slot backplane is more expensive than it.

The seller did a typo, it's not 61445 but 6144S - the manual is https://support.elmark.com.pl/advantech/pdf/PCA-6144man.PDF and this board doesn't have integrated graphics. Now I have to find a riser or backplane...

In Europe it's bit different, lots of countries have national TV station that's a state run agency. Moving that out of the air implies that state should now own or have right on new delivery infrastructure too. What I hate about ours, apart from the fact that a state TV will always be a tool of...

Same thing happened here. You are expected to pay for upgrades in full after that first one. But unlike USA someone got big $ to produce the subsidized boxes e.g. rebrand some cheap Chinese receiver.

DVB-T2 in Croatia, there is no chance in hell of removing TV from the airwaves because the state TV agency is harassing people to pay TV tax. We have a roof antenna on our building, and it's still operational and I use it with a DVB-T2 receiver, so I'm one of rare people that have airwave TV at...

Progress is always non linear. Modern PCs and connectivity have resolved the problem of multimedia. Multimedia is used for information, entertainment, and communication. Unless you're doing a work that benefits from Computer Aided software, and most of the people on the planet aren't, there's...

Logical because a server from 2005 was sold to enterprises and same server in 2024 is sold to a group of niche enthusiasts. It's worth nothing that huge portion of the market that used OEM desktops switched to laptop+dock. On the other side people that want PC want it chiefly because of...

XT architecture is very simple, bus and DMA are very crude, and in the age of 286 it was already available as LSI chipset. You won't have much negative impact if you aren't using I/O bound 1M+ programs.

^ at this point he's acting like a troll, unintentionally but still trolling. I'm done there and won't increase the post count any more. Sure but this target group is highly unlikely to fall blind to some payment scam or shenanigan as opposed to general population.

I've asked you three questions to guide you through the process - you answered none. You keep babbling about business practices while being on an enthusiast forum - where everyone and their mother boots from CFs and couple of people have came out to help you. You also seem to lack skills, tools...

Huh it's quite funny who they're trying to steal from. Computer people that instinctively detect these low-effort internet scams.

Definitely weird first 10 posts

You are interpreting your own problems and issues as a flaw of the product. First of all, we're dealing with old computers. Right now you're using a modern mindset, buy, plug in, maybe run a tool, and it should work. Absolutely wrong. Not how upgrading or reconfiguring old computers went in...

The operation of these devices is simple, known, documented, and there are all the tools you need (xtidecfg). XT-CF is two things - CF card hooked onto ISA bus, and XUB universal BIOS. You can even plug them in separately. The XUB ROM is a driver between system BIOS and the plugged in CF...

I'm not surprised to read this, because people have done everything. I think the end of your post is most important - "development knowledge and tools" because they bent that NT over its rear to achieve the goal. I've seen the most inventive and eye-brow raising things from Microsoft developers...
