Look at his beauty I have just discovered in a moisty barn ! 🥰😍

Dual Pentium II ! AGP, PCI,PCI-X,… ISA !!! And internal SCSI !

Don't know if it works, but I think I have found the perfect setup for DOS/Win9x games ! (And early Linux distros and Haiku/BeOS for the SMP part!)

A little work on The Beast !

Add a beautiful 3Dfx Voodoo2, changed the ribbon cable SCSI and IDE with the old round one I keep since the 2000's, change the broken floppy unit with a spare on, and add 256MB of PC133 SDRAM that was sleeping in my basement for years ! (512 MB now!)

All seems to work ! Next step, OS installation !

Avec une Sound Blaster 128 PCI dedans à priori utilisable sous DOS (j'ai une SB Live! En rab aussi).

Mais dans le doute, j'ai craqué et j'ai commandé pour mon anniversaire une #PicoGUS ISA ! 😅

Toutes ces initiatives sont vraiment géniales! :0) On en verra probablement de plus en plus d'ailleurs, pour notre bonheur.

J'ai deux Soundblaster qui fonctionnent au top sous MSDOS, etc.. pour des tours, mais au cas où voilà des alternatives très intéressantes à garder à l'esprit. Merci pour ces infos, Julien. :0)
