What motherboard is this?

Re: What motherboard is this?

there is a HUGE difference between CAN and SHOULD.

Can you do it? probably. Should you do it? Maybe, maybe not.

If it were me, I'd toss in a 233mhz MMX and call it a day... it was not designed for the (at the time) non-existant super 7 CPUs.

I didn't mean that the board should be modified. I meant that it could be modified. I would have just stuck with the Pentium MMX. This board would work fine with Windows 95 or 98. The USB support in Windows versions older than 98SE was good enough for me.

Both Win95 SR-2.1 and SR-2.5 supported USB.

They were OEM releases. Have to go through the OEM. Couldn't just go buy them.

and -nobody- made win 95 drivers for usb products... even now, 98 SE drivers can be hard to find... but 95, not happening any time soon.

Win98SE was the first operating system that usb worked, but you had to load a driver. WinMe worked 90% of the time without loading drivers.

I stand corrected.

Windows 95 [and even Win3.11] worked fine with USB as long as whoever made the device provided a driver.
[I actually had a hand-held USB scanner that worked in Win3.11.]
.
It was not a situation unique to USB.
.
PnP was new then and didn't work worth a shit until W98 had been out for a couple years.
Having to load a manufacturer provided driver was the norm for EVERYTHING back then.
[Video cards, scanners, modems, NICs - everything.]
.
In that day it wasn't super unusual to come across a card that had a jumper to select one of several IRQ options or PnP.
