Damn these bloody computers.

I have now got Win98 installed again on the K6/2-400 (for Shell and Rhiannon to use). But it doesnt know what gfx card, network card or sound card it has! Its a 3Com network card and the drivers come with Win98 and the other drivers are on another machine on the network. Aarrgh! I'll get it sorted tonight though.

I have decided to buy a brand new, confirmed working motherboard. That way, I can test all of my CPUs (Celeron 533 (PPGA), Celeron 600 (FCPGA) and Pentium III 733 (FC-PGA)) and at least get the PIII machine working, plus confirm which CPUs are dead etc. Then start on getting the other motherboards working. Or I might just dump them - they only cost a few quid anyway as I got them from a liquidation auction.

However, have you tried to buy an S/370 motherboard recently? You cant. Dont want to try Ebay in case its a duffer, so might have to pay a few quid more and get one from a little company instead. Ho-hum!
