  • A week and a half late is better than never.
    My first major video project using professional editing tools.
    In this video I construct a MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 VLB based 486 system predominately out of mainstream parts that would have been available in 1994 including the AMD am486DX2-80 80MHz processor.
    Clips used:
    The Computer Chronicles
    Kid's Guide To The Internet
    Intel 486 DX2 advertisement

    Holy crap, it's my first PC, including the very case and drive layout.

    Thank you for that Video. it brings back some Memories.
    1995 i get from my Uncle an 486 Board with exact the same BIOS, VLB Video Card, and I/O Controller. 486 DX2 66, 16 MB RAM, 450 MB HDD And a Double Speed CD Drive.

    1mb of RAM cost $100 back in 1993, 1mb of hard drive space cost $1.

      Doom recommend you spend $800 on ram alone 💀

      It has been 30 years... so I can no longer remember, but it seems to me in 1994 I spent 100 on 2mb for my Mega STe. Though that may have been cheaper for 30pin SIMMs.

    Wow, $199 seems surprisingly low for such a kitted out audio setup in the mid-90s. I know that's in the money of that time period but compared to a lot of computer hardware at the time even, that's pretty cheap.

    I still remember the vpool demo and there were options in the demo version of VESA , vlb and even the famous diamond Viper p9000 video card

    Nice Korg daughterboard!
    (I think Media Vision ISA cards have very buggy MPU401 though, even worse than Sound Blaster)

    How about using an IDE SSD just to see how snappy the system would get? I have Windows 3.11/95/98 on SSDs and they are OK with it... :)

    • @georgwalt7978
      @georgwalt7978 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      or use a period accurate ssd

    My socket 3 board is weird. It has PCI, but also only supports 5v CPUs, it also has no VLB. For its RTC battery it uses a Dallas clock chip instead of a coin cell.

    Nice video, however, at 10:33 I see 1024KB Cache on POST. Thought you only had 256KB on the board?

    • @Chasnah

      That footage is recorded from an X86box emulation of the same motherboard and CPU to demonstrate the ontrack software because I didn’t have a capture card when I made this first part.

    You dont have priority if you use the VLB1 for the vga. It's a parallel bus.

    1:20 well, Clint(LGR) is always complaining that his wood grain vlb board is not great.
