IBM PC 300GL/6287 restored

Recently restored an IBM PC 300GL/6287 (Pentium II 400MHz, 256MB RAM) with an S3 Trio3D. Added a Voodoo2 12MB and a refurbished 120GB HDD. Running on the onboard ESS Solo-1 sound chip for now.

The case has yellowed, still deciding whether to dismantle the monitor to Retrobrite it, but I’ll definitely do the front case.

Organized by release date

With so many new cores released in this couple of months, it hard to keep track what are the new cores. Is there a way organized a core and sort it by release date ?

Midi stack

Instead of stacking on a desktop, I moved all my MIDI modules, matrix, and mixer into a 12U rack.

B: Drive 5.25 1.2mb weird issue

I recently installed a 5.25 floppy drive and i can only use (read/write/format) it if there is a working disk in the A: 3.5 1.44mb drive. Any idea what might cause this ?

IBM PC300/6345 Motherboard

I recently acquired this desktop, and apparently, its motherboard has been replaced with a P3 667 MSI-MS-6368 Ver 5.0. So it doesn't boot with the IBM BIOS and Logo, which I would prefer. So I’m thinking of an upgrade maybe a proper IBM P4 in micro ATX size, any recommendation?
