coromonadalix: Just my 2 cents..... My 54810Windows 98 48 MB RAM Space on disc 29603 of total 30601 MB Generic IDE 47 Driver My SSD was partitioned by the fellow I bought it from, Have not looked at the disc itself. I think the machine cannot use a larger disc. |

Coromonadelix, Wallace, As the xp was prepared on a other PC , it would crash because some drivers are incompatible. (i think) By the way, it bundles XP, but then crashes even with 64GB partition. I reduced it to 8 GB, it’s the same. I will put a CDROM drive and use hiren, I have already used it. This allows to make a mini XP and adapt the drivers with the new motherboard. Note that the motherboard has signs of weakness, remains on black screen, or booted once out of 10. I tried other ram, same. I’ll take it apart and clean all the contacts, same for the pentium. A machine that combines all possible breakdowns. LOL to be continued.... cdt |

i would say you have chances it work, if the 1st pc has/had an intel chipset and the mobo scope has an intel chipset, same for amd chipsets from one to another, not amd to intel for sure it will need drivers, the main one is the intel inf chipset drivers, this one goes first ... you have good chance to start it ... but no offence i do question some of the choices or decisions on how you try to start your rig .... remove all the scope cards and focus on the pc side, i do have doubts on what peripherals this mobo can accept, mostly the ssd technologies involved sadly i dont have this scope but i would have started a new, fresh install, maybe a new motherboard, but i would have done psu checks, capacitor checks etc ... no offence once again, but you're trying too many things at the same time you need to find old ide drives to start the scope, and to recover the drive, it's an ide 44 pins, many adapters / docks / usb to 40-44 pins ide can be used ... you do battles with oldies as i did on a TEK 7404 took me 2 weeks just to find floppies, tons of cd-roms, some 2.5" drives etc ... originals cd's (not engraved, they where rejected) .... usb and ide interfaces, and i have a few ... but i succeeded, it was a pain in the b #%$# |

Coromonadelix, I will not spend more time on this vintage Atlas 757 motherboard. First, it starts when its wants, its sometimes takes 10 stops Power on for it to decide. (Even without any card in the slots). It will not please the acquisition board too much. LOL In addition, there is only 32MB of ram, it must take the mini 64MB for an XP. The ram will cost me more than a more modern motherboard. We find them with the processor and the ram (++1Go) for 10/15 euros. I have to find a Baby-AT style model for it to fit. So il will need to change the power connector for the board I see adapters, but it’s more ATX (20 pins) to AT (P8 P9) not the other way around. (If you find one, I want the link) I can cut and solder a 20 pin connector. (I have already sacrificed some power to power the cdrom and SSD) A "official " schematic would please me, although one can reason with examples of adapter in other sense. We don’t do new things with old , but we try. LOL cdt |

loll if you switch psu at for atx, or find any temporaries ones with 20 pins ... the main psu connector a 20 pins will work in a 24 pins to do your tests, the 4x supplemental pins where added for more current, unless you do find a mobo who reject that, witch i never found you could do some interface cables if you remove your AT connectors on the Atlas and fit them to the atx psus, i had atx mobos and removed the 20 or 24 pin connectors and did a interface cable ... the big change is the new "added 4 pins" for the cpu connector floating cable ... new atx psus now have an supply line for video(s) too sure the Atlas is way overdue, check intel 945 series they had a tons with more or less pci isa, pci only, no isa slots ..... tons of models at very low prices, some will come with cpu and ram ?? so far no isa would mean : you loose your gpib interface for sure, i dont recall other isa card in this scope serie pci gpib card are now very expensive thks china btw i'm an oldie of 53 years loll i've seen a lot :-DD |
