Great networkcard for 8-bit ISA systems

For ISA 8-bit Ethernet Controller

Great networkcard for 8-bit ISA systems! The card works right out of the box. I'm using this card in an Olivetti M240 with the NE2000 drivers and MTCP for FTP. Configuration is straight forward, I'm using PNP in which you can configure the network card with Realtek network card tool.

Easy to use

For ISA 8-bit Ethernet Controller

Works well in my IBM Model 30 - 8086 system.

Used the RSET8019 program to reconfigure the jumperless setup.

Ran PNPPD.com then mTCP DHCP and it connected right up.

Noticeable difference in speed compared to the XIRCOM PE3-10BT adapter I've been using.

Highly recommend this card!

Great network card for ATs as well

For ISA 8-bit Ethernet Controller

I initially purchased this card for my XT class machine but I never had a chance to install it in that computer as the latter was lacking an empty ISA slot. Today I finally decided to install the card in my PC/AT and I'm super happy about it. The documentation was top notch, using the dip switches I could configure the card exactly as I wanted. Everything works flawlessly in combination with mTCP. I can now telnet to BBSes like it's 1984!

Great design!

For Monster FDC

I've been using this Monster FDC with a 6 floppy setup for over a year now - and it just works great. Using mainly with device drivers instead of BIOS support, so I can dynamically load and unload as needed. I highly recommend this design if you really need a lot of floppy drives simultaneously. I have a mixed system of Gotek's, 360K, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB drives all working great.

Fun little clock that does what it says!

For TTL Clock

Fun little kit. Took me about 40 minutes and worked like a charm. It's mostly TTL ICs and some Resistory Arrays with about 10 other components and some LEDs.

It would be cool if it came with a case or STL files for a case, but I'll just design and print my own.

Thanks for the fun kit!

Great little card, well built and works well.

For ISA 8-bit Ethernet Controller

Eight bit ISA Ethernet cards are not exactly common anymore so it is great to be able to find a new one that just works. The build quality is great and the documentation is complete.

I tested card this on a PCjr with a home-brew ISA bus adapter. If it works in this configuration, it will work for you. The NE2000 is widely supported, but remember to use the driver referenced in the documentation as normally the NE2000 is expecting a 16 bit slot, not an 8 bit slot.

This kit is absolutely awesome, worth every cent.

For Flock - RC2014-Compatible Module Kit

I built this module for my RC2014 Pro with RomWBW. The included documentation was fantastic, I don't think I had to consult the internet hardly at all during the build.

The RTC works great with ZP/M, as of course does the floppy module. I formatted a disk according to the included written instructions and it works great in CP/M / ZP/M.

For the sake of trying it, I used the FAT utility in RomWBW to format a floppy. A simple "FAT FORMAT #:" with the proper drive number worked on the 1st try. I happen to have a USB floppy drive on hand, so I plugged that into a modern computer, and I could place files on the newly FAT12 formatted floppy disk. Taking it back to RomWBW I could copy some back to my CF card using the same 'FAT' utility (i.e. FAT COPY 2:/FILE.TXT F:FILE.TXT)

Thank you, this kit really feels like it really belongs in my build.

Good deal for bare PCB

For Monster FDC: PCB Only

Can't wait to assemble this, and very reasonable price. I'm assembling only the 2nd floppy controller and BIOS section to add a 2nd floppy controller to a system with an existing integrated controller. I feel much better about this than trying to get something commercial off eBay because the design is totally open.

Wonderful!

For Flock - RC2014-Compatible Module Kit

Excellent product and quality. I am happy to recommend this to anyone interested in RC2014 Add on boards <3

Works perfectly in my Tandy 1000 SX

For ISA 8-bit Ethernet Controller

I picked up this card so I could use FTP to transfer files to and from my Tandy 1000 instead of having to use floppy disks. Configuration was easy. I opted to use the dip switches and manually configure the card since I have an XT-IDE card in my Tandy configured on IO address 0x300 which was causing a conflict with the configuration utility. IO address 0x280 and IRQ 2 worked perfectly.

Great card, Amazing customer service

For ISA 8-bit Ethernet Controller

The card shipped very fast. The documentation shipped with the card and provided on GitHub is very detailed. My intention is to use this with an XT clone.

Worked beautifully on a NuXT 2.0

For ISA 8-bit Ethernet Controller

This card worked just wonderfully on my new NuXT 2.0 V20 system with the most recent mTCP.

Really nicely made, Thanks so much!

Great boards! Looking forward to build this computer.

For Omega Home Computer: PCBs

Boards and several pre-programmed chips arrived quickly, well-packed, with a nice note from the creator/seller. Beautiful boards! I am looking forward to build this computer with my son and relive some of my youth years on the way. Documentation on Github is very thorough and clear. Building is promising to be fun. Thanks for creating this project!

Great to do business with.

For TTL Clock: PCB, Trimmer Capacitor, Quartz Crystal

I loved it so well I ordered one for a friend.
Thank you

Great - recommended!

For TTL Clock

I am an electronics technician, so have a bit of an advantage over some people but nevertheless I found the instructions very clear and should be suitable and rewarding for beginners. I normally make a mistake when constructing but this one worked first time!

A Totally Fun Project!!

For TTL Clock: PCB, Trimmer Capacitor, Quartz Crystal

A Totally Fun Project that brings back the nostalgia of old TTL logic. No microprocessors here! Now tweak the logic to make a switchable 12/24 hour clock. I loved all the parts were preselected at Mouser.com.
