With a bit of team work we could re-build Rome

that's great mate.....I was thinking of posting the mods also. We'll see how the DB restore goes but if no go we'll all have to pull out all the info/doco we have!

Sorry Farmsky there was a link on post 19 inbetween the 2 quotes but it is gone now

Twas an 'old' Austech one.

Thought I'd better tidy it up (within that bloody ridiculous 15 minute edit widow we so graciously are given).

That link never work again.

these ones

thanks Fandtm66, that's better than any link....great pics!

I think the credit goes way back to a guy called Mudcrab for all that info.

These mods and circuit diagram (to better support the white card) were superbly offered by GW1.

I can add some more pics and further info if anyone really wants them.

with these mods do golds still work?

It was a long time member called hobbit who originally spotted the card insert problem and another member called muddy024 I believe who worked out and posted the original diode mod.

Ancient history now I suppose.

I just whacked the Rev 1C document I got with my Jaycar through our copier / scanner at work, should be good enough to print.

I built the kit years ago, had it running beautifully now I want to get it going again with Vista, but I lost the cicuit and instructions.

So i just paid $8.80 to Silicon Chip to download the article, then I discovered yours and it's a far better copy, could have saved the money.

Thank you again,

IMO if you use your PC for electronics or similar hobby tinkering you're doing yourself a disservice by installing Vista - it's like getting a Rottweiler when you're about have a baby. I know a couple of people who have persevered with it but most haven't. For dependable hassle-free access to tools written more than a year ago you'll want to keep a small XP partition around, either dual-booting or on a backup PC. (In some cases it helps to have Win98 too but for most things XP suffices.)

I do most of my work on Leopard and Ubuntu nowadays but still need XP occasionally. Apart from its susceptibility to viruses, malware and the occasional crash XP is pretty good. I won't be surprised if we look back in 20 years time and think XP SP2 (not SP3) was the best thing Microsoft ever made. Followed by Office 97, Halo and Win98.

Personally, I haven't had any problems with Vista and all my old (and new) card apps and hardware.

I suppose different setups can produce different results.

Sure !
