Hmm, I'm thinking now, could I get Solaris to work on an i5!!
Today's weird experiment:
i5 4th Gen, 16GB RAM, 500GB Sata (IDE mode in bios), PCIe to PCI with an ATI Rage XL 8MB, boots into Windows NT 4, without any issues 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let's try to install Sun Solaris 8 x86 on the Athlon 1Ghz machine! I've stuck a PCI S3 Trio64V2/DX in for compatibility I've got it running at 1024x768, looking positive! 👍

If anyone out there has one of these Soyo Soyo SY-6VBA133 Slot 1 motherboards, could you take a photo of this voltage regulator please, I need to replace mine as it's been cut off. I've seen one with a AMS1084CT, but they used alternatives, need to identify the right one. Cheers

It's always a gamble buying EPROMs on AliExpress, but these M27C1001 all work well, erase, blank, program, read! 👍

Trying to diagnose this Soyo Pentium 2/3 board, not much time today (story of my life). It powers on with the power button and even turns off correctly. Post Card analyser shows voltages and reset isn't stuck, but no codes at all.

If you owned a Dreamcast 25 years ago, chances are you also had a copy of 'Disk Juggler' installed on your computer!
