K6Plus

but my mainboard is baby AT only in form factor, it does support ATX powersupplies

also on the AT case im using the reset switch as power on and the turbo switch as reset

Should i go for ATX v1.3 or v2 power supplies?

I disassembled everything today, and also checked for gone caps, but didnt found any

hehe Rome Italy, not really worth the shipment

Btw, space problem aside, my doubt is also if sticking with old cases for the sake of "hystoricity" is actually worth, cause ATX cases are so much easier to operate with, even the cheap ones.

Just now i discovered another weird behaviour: the floppy drive is not working, even if from time to time it makes some sound during boot. So i swapped it with the one in my main pc (which i cant use anymore there cause the new mainboard has no longer floppy ports), and for sure this one should be w...

Hi there! it's been a while since the last time i posted in this forum. Recently i came back on messing with my k6 retrogaming rig, and discovered something weird. Actually, during the last period i used it (18 months ago) i noticed lot of crashes and general instability. I couldnt really figure out...

Just seen what is a multimeter in wikipedia, is what i intended as "elettric tester".

Will buy it soon, i needed it for a few other things too but i haven't bought it yet. Time to fix that

If you don't have this, no amount of cabling "fixes" will help you.


Thanks.

DVM stay for? An elettric tester?

Check ur PMs

Thanks for the info. :D Anyway it seems very hard to mod the bracket that im actually using, because no sort of wire starts from the nc pin that could be connected to another ground. I have to search for a completely new bracket on ebay, and does not seems easy to find the right one, seems that the ...

Mmm, but the strange thing is that there's a pin there, what's the purpose of having a pin if it is not connected?

Anyway, there is a way to convert it to a "ground" pin?
What exactly ground does? The purpose of data and power pins are clear to me, but i dunno what ground ones are meant to do.

Asus manual says that the bracket has the following pinout:

+5v / +5v
port1- / port2-
port1+ / port2+
ground / ground
---------/ NC

What does NC mean?

Are you getting +5V on the designated power pins? Thanks. Well, the pinout on the manual says yes, but my devices are not receiving any power (mp3 usually turn on when connected but here it doesn't, same for the steering wheel). Anyway I don't have a tester for checking directly on the motherboard.

Mine is a p5bv3+ rev B5, the pins are 9 right, i counted 2 less , and pin out is the same of my asus a8n-e bracket. a7n8x-e use same pins too.

Hi, I cant use usb ports on the P5bv3+ I installed in win 98 correctly all via drivers (4in1 ver 4.35 and usb driver 1.10), upgraded to last bios (january 2000) and used an usb bracket from an asus motherboard. I activated USB controller in bios and is recognized in windows The bracket has the same ...
