excuses here>. ;^) Anyway, here are a couple of interesting updates :- Added Special Page entitled K6-2+ - Last of the Socket 7s. Added a success story of the AP5T-3.4 & K6-2 500MHz to the How YOU? page. |
| May 8, 2000 | - | Added a new taming story to The AP5T-3.0 - A Very Different Beast page. |
| May 8, 2000 | - | XOOM's server hosting
my homepage has been down for at least 2 weeks now.
Luckily I created a mirror site on GeoCities last month
..... or maybe it was because I created
this mirror site! ;^) Anyway, to I've re-routed the popular http://surf.to/ga586hx address to point to this mirror site. Of course you can still use these URLs as well :- http://go.to/hackedmobo http://www.oocities.org/hackedmobo/index.html |
| April 19, 2000 | - | Over time,
I've received a number of e-mails saying that my
homepage could not be accessed. This has been
due to XOOM's servers being down. To avoid these
problems, I've set up a mirror site at
Yahoo!'s Geocities. I don't know if Geocities will be any
better than XOOM, but hopefully they won't be both down
at the same time! ;^) http://go.to/hackedmobo http://www.oocities.org/hackedmobo/index.html |

The AP5T-3.0 - A Very Different Beast
How YOU Enhanced
(Slightly Hacked) Your AP5T Rev 2.x/3.x Mobo To Run The AMD
K6-2/K6-III CPUs
Calling all fellow AP5T Enhancers!
E-Mail
(hackedmobo@yahoo.com) what you did
to enhance your AP5T mobo to me, and I'll put it on my homepage here, including your name and email address. If you
don't want your email address published, let me know. Please try
to be as accurate as possible, and give at least these details :-
(1) Exact AP5T revision - Example: 3.1.
(2) BIOS version.
(3) CPU type and speed - Example: AMD K6-III 400MHz.
(4) Bus Frequency and Clock Multiplier.
(5) Core voltage rework.
(6) BF2 rework for Revision 2.x mobos.
The AP5T Rev 3.1 is a motherboard made by AOpen. It is a 430TX board that officially supports up to the AMD K6 233 or Cyrix MX-PR266. It has a switching voltage regulator that can provide both linear and dual voltages. It supports clock multiplier of 1.5x to 5.5x, and bus frequency of 60MHz, 66MHz, 75MHz, and 83MHz. Here's the User Manual ap5t-3man.zip (412KB). It's in PDF format, so you'll need the Adobe Acrobat Free Reader.
After hacking my GA-586HX Rev 1.55 mobo, I wondered what other mobos could be modified in this way. Somehow it has become my new hobby to seek out old and obsolete mobos and try to breathe new life into them. ;^)
