Got the 64GB version and tried it on my ThinkPad T42 with Windows 98 and Windows XP. They really aren't that good, and the performance was pretty terrible, 98 loved to lock up when installed and RW speeds were extremely slow, XP had similar issues. I heavily recommend going with a CF to IDE adapter …

Instead of installing dos and loading a cdrom driver on the thinkpad. Try installing dos and no cdrom driver and just load himem.sys in the config sys. Copy all the 98 files to the Hard disk and install from the hard disk instead of from a cd.

Period correct laptop for XP will be underpowered becasue its a laptop after all. Id go with later hardware, make sure you can find drivers for XP first. If you can find one that still has a cardbus slot I would use a audidgy zs notebook card in it.

Picked up this nice AIW 7500 VE today, normally wouldn't bother with the AIW models but this one was mislabeled as AGP but is actually the PCI model which makes it more interesting. Should make for a really nice card for my Dual Tualatin board that doesn't have AGP on it, not sure how a 7500 will …

If it was mine, knowing that I would never find the shell in the wild. I would buy some sheet metal and bend my own to fit the case and spray paint it white. Of course I wouldn't be able to replicate all of the tabs that hold it on. But I bet I could do a good enough job that if its just sitting on …

look at the card and see if there is silkscreen numbers indicating pin 1. on the picture above i lcearly see the numbered pins 25 and 26 so pin 1 is obviously the opposite side of that. Its hard to mess up. looking at the specific card I can clearly see the number 1 on one side of the connector. So …

2.1v will not harm that CPU in anyway. Its rated to 2.2v. CPU was probably binned correctly at 570mhz 128k cache or whatever it was to begin with. It seems that the 570mhz run was a good one in terms of clock speed yields but a lot of people reported the 256k L2 cache mod didn't have as good yields …

afaik LFNs are only visible under windows since its uses windows API. 5.5.1 adds a TSR to preserve LFNs while under real mode but it doesn't display them. If you want to display LFNs under Real Mode in a norton style commander. I reccomend Vokov commander 4.99.08 with one of the DOSLFN TSRs. …

I've read many times it doesn't work, but I've never been handed a card to try myself in forcing it to work.
