heh, if i were closer to my moms house i could send you a pair of cards, some cable, some tees, some null terminals, and some rg59 for a token network. 10base null cable and old pci nic would be easier though. Oh and RayB, I have one of those Robots partially disassembled and in a box, needs a minor board resolder and a battery. :P |

rovingmind: I didn't get it. I thought you were serious. From what I can tell, and what my computer builder guy said, it takes ISA cards. The thing is, I have a PIII that was given to me. It probly would've had more resources to give effects in Mame (I like using RGB sharp), and perhaps even properly display Daphne, with only the 64mb AGP card I put in it (or maybe even just using the 32mb internal graphics, which as it was wouldn't allow hwstretch in Mame) if it had win 98 on it. But it came with XP. I don't even know how to format a hard drive manually, and I didn't know where to get a 98 disc, even, so I just ended up getting a 128mb Nvidia for 20 bucks and that did the trick. I was trying to locally sell the compaq for maybe $50, or less, and got no bites so I thought I'd check it out. Never messed with anything that had 98 on it. Which would've been fine, even if I hadn't been able to get anything useful to me out of it. But to have to go to some length just to get it functional in whatever way was outside the park. Again, thank you for your responses. |

Oh i was serious about the token ring. i have a box full of parts for doing it and enough connectors to hook up 4 computers, I probably have isa cards in a box right beside the stuff. Grr at having your stuff in multiple states. Do you still need the win98 disc? |
