LPX motherboard booted up by Ben Myers[_2_]
I cleared away the ATX clutter on my workbench today and booted up the LPX motherboard I found in another clutter. It is an Intel-made board with an AST BIOS signature and an Intel 430FX chipset. For those who can't remember, AST was a trailing edge name brand, and they bit the dust rather...

LPX motherboard found by Ben Myers[_2_]
While going through my computer treasures the other day, I came across an LPX motherboard, the kind used in PB systems. It's a Socket 7 made by Intel. Not sure what CPU it has, and I'm not sure if it is a PB original or from some other company like HP or NEC. This one has a VRM socket on it,...

PB 486 'cruising the net by Robert E. Watts
Hi ! This message is coming to you via the 486 PB Legend 38CD Supreme. Apparently, this "old" 486 BIOS is pretty sophisticated. I slapped in a 1.6G IDE drive, and it autodetected it. For ease of installation of WIN98SE, I put an ATAPI IDE CD-ROM on the primary channel as a slave, loaded a...

Milano back on the 'net by Robert E. Watts[_2_]
Hi Gang ! Was looking around the BODADC the other day, and noticed the Milano sitting forlornly on the shelf. Some of you may remember that last year I (carefully) fitted the ATX style ( with Packard Bell *looks* ) case with the latest Intel Pentium III Socket 370 Tualatin board. ( Milano...
