@@jjohnson71958 of course you did! gimme a few days, sir. I sent you a note in Gmail.
Those Yamaha cards are great for both DOS and early Windows compatibility - check out Phil's video for some information on setup/drivers, etc.. ruclips.net/video/vNCg_zy1_d4/видео.html
The Virge GX2 card might be an interesting one to throw a small/non-permanent heatsink on and overclock the core clock to match the RAM speed (100 mhz I believe) via Powerstrip if you want to min/max performance. The combination of hardware you have there is really ideal for a Windows 95/98 gaming machine that has great backward compatibility for native MS-DOS games.
I haven't thought about good old Powerstrip for some time! Might do that. Supposedly the chip on the GX2 stays cool no matter what.
what a good case.
the case had potential to mod with air flow in the front, the problem is side panel doesn't have a hole.
It was decent but had a hard life. I feel bad, but I am chock full of cases now. I have to find a way to unload.
Bust out the drill
@@Tony-Jabroni Drill is retro!
Ack, you left the 3COM networking card? Those used to be the gold standard. I would take those over anything else from the era, they were the gold standard.
Not to hurt anyone's feelings. I have a few already, and I never hook these older computers to any network. Doing the sneaker net here.
@@UncleMikeRetro I used to mess around with putting them on their own network with other retros, it was fun remembering how to do older networking stuff.
@@Alcochaser I am considering a token ring local network. Very retro!
@@UncleMikeRetro Those things give me headaches. Biggest thing I remember that in Windows token ring adapters would give device manager errors if they didn't detect a network.
@@Alcochaser I had a token ring set up when I lived in the Army barrack sin Germany in the early 1990s. Had my PB 486, a Pentium, and a spot for a guest all laid out. Somehow, I got it working back then. Maybe a new video?
