Just for my understanding, why do you need an IDE port in such a recent computer? To transfer files easily to old HDDs? For testing all the ide drive that i have and for install, copy file from ide drive coming from a new computer that will arrive,. i have used external usb cradle, but the last …

ASRock Fatality Professional P67: https://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/fatal1ty%20p67%20professional/ Would be nice to put this against my HP Z400 Xeon workstation, which has floppy but no IDE. It would also be nice if the ASRock could boot from M.2 on a PCIE card. Is extremely expensive for such a old …

So would a card like the Asus P5L2D be good as a support computer, internet consultation, CD burning, etc? and would the Floppy disk and IDE channels of this card (which has the 945 chipset) work well on win10 even though technically I don't think it has the drivers for these components?

They gave me a Pentium4 and the motherboard is an Asus P5LD2-SE, looking for information on this card I discovered that it can mount up to the Core2Duo E6700. Unfortunately my revision is 1.0 so I can't mount it. But it reminded me of a possible support computer for retrocomputers. Since this card ( …

So I bought cheap model 30 286. Machine has no hard disk, and of course the disk drive does not work. Is there a way to run setup program from xt-ide? I'm going to recap the disk drive and see if that fixes it, but it will take some time for parts to arrive. Meanwhile I could hook up gotek to …

Which kind of PentiumMMX you have installed? This computer does not support dual voltage (even if i think before you cook a PentiumMMX at 3,3 v you can gone...). Second: 99% the bios allow only 8GB limit size.

I think a "reasoned" answer doesn't exist. If you look at the correct period (my Pentium60 is from 1993) it is strictly DOS+win3.11 and also by a fair margin on win95. Win95 would probably also work well as you said, but having already another computer ranging from P75 to P200 (with the possibility …

the focus of discussion of this post is not on whether it is possible to install win95/win98 or xp on a Pentium60 (which I will certainly try to do out of curiosity) but whether in your opinion it is a machine that expresses its potential at 90% in the field of pure dos No, as pure DOS runs fine on …

I know that I can easily install Windows95 on it, but my question was that considering the performance they were CPUs that mainly targeted MS-DOS 6.22 and therefore would you recommend installing a maximum of 16MB of RAM?
