Look up your motherboard on thereteoweb.com That site has information, BIOS and driver downloads. With the last BIOS update it should be able to work with a 450 Mhz "Katmai" CPU, if it is an intel manufactured Seattle or Seattle-2 board. The 440 BX chipset's codename was Seattle, used on a large variety of motherboards.
Get a USB 2.0 PCI card for it if you're going to use anything more than a USB mouse and keyboard. If you're not using the two built in USB 1.x ports, see if there's a BIOS setting or jumper to disable them. It's 320 Mb, not Kb. It's not an 8088 or 80286 :) On Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at 10:54:28 AM MDT, Dave Engvall <dengv...@charter.net> wrote: I’m getting braver. Being brain impaired I tried linuxcnc (habits are hard to break). Typing ‘emc’ worked much better. Now to go fix some wiring problems in the estop region and maybe I can actually test. Emc 2.2 obviously will work with 320 Kb but if I’m serious about this then maxing it out at 768 would help. May have to jack it up and run a 5i25-7i77. Time will tell. Life gets in the way. My youngest kid is retiring so have 12 hrs of windshield time ahead of me this weekend. Meanwhile don’t hold your breath you might get blue in the face waiting. D Ps. May need help with building a newer driver. However, if one of those usb ports will work we can at least try a newer kernel. > On Apr 2, 2025, at 5:54 AM, Dave Engvall <dengv...@charter.net> wrote: > > Indeed that would be interesting.
