#mainboard

Okay, #Argon40's #ArgonOneUP looks cool...

My problem is that it's on kickstarter and closed and not available from Argon40 or any of their #distributors and #pricing info is rather hazy, with some sites suggesting it to be around U$D 400-ish.

Thanks to @geerlingguy for looking into it, even tho I wished there would've been just like a @frameworkcomputer - Style #Mainboard to shove a #CM5 into a #Framework13 or #Framework12 but alas, that's not it.

Continued thread

And before anyone asks how I know that this is in fact an #Apple1 #mainboard.

I did have the privilegue to touch one in person.

  • Sadly I am not at liberty to say where exactly, but I can put people in touch with the folks that exercise custody over it...

Cuz it's in an 'open by appointment only' collection alongside a fully functioning #Apple3 so yeah, the folks want to keep it under wraps and avoid a #ComputerReset type scenario with a museum collection...

Given that I want to target i486 with @OS1337 but don't want to deal with obsolete hardware that is dying of old age, I think it's more fitting to consider a sort-of mainboard to shove some 486SX-SOM with PC/104-Plus on and have the few necessities hooked up to it. Maybe even put it inside a THINN #Pizzabox-style #case?

It would also make a new "bridge" machine to interface old PCI & ISA hardware and allow connecting i.e. a #QuadFlop and roll with that...

@Sirs0ri I'd recommend to stick with #Kingston (they source different chips, often SK Hynix) #Samsung (they make their own chips) and #Crucial (which is #Micron's retail brand)...

  • They are good quality, reliable and work, and most importantly, you'll most likely find them on the #QVL of the #mainboard aka. they are known to work & certified by the mainboard vendor. You'll find it in the manual / documentation of the mainboard.

  • Always look for the precise SKU of said kit to enshure it works. Espechally when it comes to #ECC, "ranks" and speeds.

  • If your case has a crammed interior, make shure to check the dimensions as some "low density" Server-SODIMMs are not only ECC but also quite tall and may collide with some desktop coolers.

I don't know what I'm seeing here, but it's the weirdest shit.
I have a TrueNAS server running an a board claiming, in it's IPMI, to be an X10SLL-F
It also claims to only have P1-DIMMB1 and B2, despite the board clearly also featuring A1 and A2.
According to supermicro.com/manuals/motherb it should also have a dedicated IPMI LAN port (because -F), but the board very clearly does NOT have that.

What IS this board?
