Wow, I found a 1155 board, with IDE and floppy!

Marvel in the wonder of both old and new. IDE, floppy, PS/2 mouse AND keyboard, and USB 3.0 (along with 2.0), and SATA3G and SATA6G. Is there anything more that you could want?

Nice find. I still prefer motherboards with PS2 since I use an old PS2-port KVM to switch between work, gaming and music server PCs.

I also have a couple of perfectly good IDE DVD burners, but if I was building a new PC I'd probably get a SATA drive to get rid of the ribbon cable.

 

[bankster55]

yeah, that fatality guy insisted on it.
But end of july they are coming out with fatality Z68 superboard and ASRock Z68 extreme 7 with 10 SATA - this is my next mobo, since my ASUS deluxe went belly up (no video in any PCIe slot) - no more ASUS for me, a shame since I like the bios, and have finally got it all figured out.

Floppy disks, man those things almost never worked right for me. Put a file on and when I try to read it it just is corrupted and lost. :'(

 

[bunnyfubbles]

umm, what else could we want?

WHERES MY AGP SLOT!!!!??

 

[exdeath]

Floppy? I just committed to getting rid of ALL my *optical* media and putting everything on a 64 GB USB 3 flash stick. Its flash or external HDD for me from here on out, tired of boxes of jewel cases, half hour burns, and million day search times.

The only purpose I had for floppy was my double pro fighter for SNES, but I'm happily giving that away now that there is a SD or CF flash cart available.

Im still waiting for an ASRock board that has PCIe, AGP, EISA, VLB, and 3 cpu sockets for Core i7, Athlon 64, and socket 7. I need at least one ISA slot too.

Why no PCI-X? That would be a dealbraker for me.

I want to be able to SLI my PCIe GTX 570 with my PCI-X Geforce FX 5700Ultra Mac Edition.

Why do the manufacturers just completely ignore this market?

No worries, it has an integrated Ultra 320 LVD RAID port bridged off the on board native MFM/RLL controller. No need for PCI-X.

Was it ASRock who used to make crazy stuff like that? I think they make decent stuff now, but I remember those oddball budget boards that had dual CPU slot/socket connectors, dual AGP/VLB ports on chipsets that didn't natively support AGP, 486 boards with PCI, etc.

ASSRock seems to be (in)famous for these Frankenstein motherboards.

I'd hate to want to get the drivers working on this motherboard.

Haha thanks for the good memories.

+1 AND.......I wanna spot for a math co-processor....

yeah but without an IrDA port whats the point?

How do you get around the problem of crappy VGA input through KVM while gaming?

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

PS2 keyboard connector is okay, as is IDE for older Hard Drives. But Floppy? Really? That's completely unnecessary, to say the least.

 

[exdeath]

They make an optional PCIe x16 IrDA adapter, it's all good.

 

[Bryf50]

Wow. They are really giving away the p67 boards now that z68 is out. That board was well over 200 dollars not long ago.

Edit: scratch that. It seems there are two different p67 Fatality boards.

 

[drizek]

But does it have a TPM header?

 

[Maximilian]

Oh right... i thought you found it as in someone threw it out and you got it for free

 

[evilspoons]

I found a 2011 Ferrari with wooden wheels and an 8-track player! Is there anything more you could want?

Oh, wait. *rolls eyes*.
