A Radeon 9550 did not post. Just putting the card in the slot turned off the LED. I had to revert to the old card and mess with the board some to get the LED back on. Someone mentioned trying a geforce 5200 but unless it has 64mb of RAM from what we know it shouldn't work. Because nvidia wasn't …

-Lastly with the USB flash drive->fixed disk feature..while it works great in DOS, eventually in 98 I get I/O timeouts, garbage data and so on. I assume this is much more to do with unorthodox things Windows 98 does. Really what this means in my case is, copy the setup files in DOS to the SSD, then …

How are you cooling the SOM-128-ex module? It gets quite hot. I noticed that in Vridek's photo the cpu module is "naked" and a heatsink on the cpu core. Are you removing the blue "cover plate" thing to add better heatsink or just blowing air over the standard module? I placed an old socket 7 cooler …

For sound I have a newly-acquired Orpheus II LT, the reason I got this mobo is it's new (manufactured in 2023 according to sticker) with an ISA slot, for this card. Long story short, it's been trouble and I still don't have it fully working after a day. Some games don't have sound effects but music …

Instead of the PCM5102 DAC, could a WM8804 S/PDIF transceiver chip (or something similar) be wired to Pico's i2s to get digital output and would that work with PicoGUS? Picture attached of a PI hat with WM8804 chip. no need, rp2060 can do spdif in/out in software, only 1 gpio required. out https:// …

Would be interested in in what everyone is planning to use for a case. I got an used Antec ISK 310-150 case for few euros. It is quite small, has a low profile expansion slot and a bay for slim optical drive. Case with full height expansion slot would have been better, but I have some low-profile …

The Pi Zero W is widely available, but not the Zero 2 W. Per the project page "Pi Zero (original) and Pi 1 are unfortunately too slow (even with an overclock) and unsupported." Well i would say true before, not sure all countries but Europe did get big batches, here in Sweden it still a lot …

Question about Raspberry pi headers. Here is a picture of RPi Zero 2 with headers soldered. But it seems seems that the headers should be soldered to other side of Pi's pcb for it to fit correctly here? Correct. And the reason is that it's better to have the Pi's heatsink (which is always a good …

Regarding memory size of SOM-128-EX: does it matter much if there is 128MB or 1 GB of memory available in this kind of use? The 1 GB version is around 10 USD more expensive but was wondering if it is of any use here. Also does the Toslink digital port output audio from all sources, like CS4237, opl3 …

What I would be curious about, if there is any GCN 2.0 based card that can work in Windows XP x86. By the way, the AMD datasheets sometimes define GCN 2.0 as GCN 1.1. Radeon R7 260X is GCN 2.0 and it has XP drivers. Also here someone is testing 260X with 14.4 Pack 3 driver: https://www.vogons.org/ …

Is it really that easy? No need to disconnect any cable or remove the keyboard and so on, just unscrew the bottom cover and lift / pry it apart? :) Yes, it has been a year or so when I did that last time, but if my memory serves me right there are no clips that can break or cables attached to the …
