Re: Dell 486 help

I'm looking for the cache card for the 333P but also actually after the shelf/bracket that the floppy drive attaches to the case with! As shown here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u0vzzx4568z0qr8/fm4Xj52.jpg?dl=0 (another Vogons member was kind enough to take photos of theirs a few years back!) I would …

Re: Dell 486 help

What Dell 386 do you have? a System 333P by any chance? :) It's a System 325SX w/ 4MB RAM unfortunately. Those 16bit bus 386SXs are dog slow though for game usage. Interestingly it is American built for a system sold new in Ireland. PSU is also 240V only but still works so it's useless to me here …

Re: Dell 486 help

My board has pads for alternative capacitors too - probably not worth putting tantalums on instead? I'm also tempted to go down the route of getting the alternative board and picking up one of the more readily available cache cards... That's right, I definitely remember 6V caps now. Won't make a …

Re: Dell 486 help

It looks like as a new user I can't send PMs yet, but detailed pictures would be great! Also, were there specific % tolerances on the caps? Got Mouser pulled up right now. Here you go. First number on the capacitor is the capacitance value. As for tolerance? No idea what the originals were. I never …

Re: Dell 486 help

it looks to be keyed for your board with ET4000, OPs board has S3 805. This truly confuses me as the listing says it's pulled from a system with S3 graphics but yeah, on closer inspection it is keyed identically to the Tseng upgrade and definitely not what I saw in the photo of the OP's motherboard …

Re: Dell 486 help

If you search for JVMEM 36682 on everyone's favourite auction site, I believe there is one that says it's pulled from a Dell 486 with onboard S3 video. Interestingly though this part number is actually the same as my video add-on board with Tseng video. I didn't notice the part # on mine at first as …

Re: Dell 486 help

Ok so I was working on my reply to you on and off for a few hours and missed you posting a photo of your board. Turns out you have the same board as my older board except for no Tseng video. I didn't even know this revision of board existed. The video upgrade board pinout looks the same except the …

Re: Dell 486 help

EDIT: Striking out stuff that was not seen in a previous reply while I was typing Well isn't this a wonderful coincidence! Greetings! I'm also new here. Long time lurker over the years but finally in my second or third wave of nostalgia and decided to sign up. I have the exact same system as you. …
