I am currently wanting to upgrade an onld PB450M+ PC and I have a few
questions:
1: I believe the motherboard can take upto 128Mb of RAM in 2 X 64Mb
(72 Pin SIMMs) but is there a limit to the type of SIMMs I can use?
(EDO or any timing issues)
2: Processor Type, I curretly have a 486 SX2 50MHz (Socket 3), what
can I go upto? (486 DX4 100MHz? or can I use the Pentium Overdrive)
3: Hard Disk Size Limit, what Size hard disk can I go upto. The BIOS
is Version 4.03
4: The CDROM is currently connected via a sound card, though the it
suspiciously looks like an IDE drive, will I be able to directly
connect the CDROM to the Secondary IDE Port?
Thanks In Advanced.

Hi Andrew:
#1 Could not find any memory information on this model or name. Sorry
#2 http://plpadmin.tempdomainname.com/index2.html click on Quick CPU
Upgrade Finder. It will load a program and give you the info you need.
#3 http://www.firmware.com/support/bios/p4hs20.htm
#4 The CD ROM can be split from the sound card via the placement of
the new CD Rom on the secondary IDE as Master Please note the system
will need to be a little faster and your OS will have to be Windows 98
or above and you will need to REM out the autoexec.bat & config.sys
files in order for the CD rom to function without a hitch. I always
rename them autoexec.old and config.old and this way I don't lose
track of them if I ever need them again.
I hope that helped?

Andrew, you can find the original FAQ for alt.sys.pc-clone.packardbell at
Packar...@Yahoogroups.com. Written in 1997, this FAQ lists upgrade paths
for many of these older, pre-Pentium computers. Unfortunately, your model is
not listed. You might try the free diagnostic programs at www.belarc.com
and/or www.pcpitstop.com for more information on your computer and possible
upgrades.
However, it is unlikely that you will be able to upgrade your old computer
to anything approaching the power of even the most modest system available
today. You may be able to locate some upgrade parts on the auction boards or
from hobbyists, but there will be very little new merchandise available for
your computer. Using obsolete used, or N.O.S. parts can be risky because
they may not come with a warranty and may be approaching their product life
expectancy. Take a hard look at the economics of the upgrade you are
considering. New 2000+ AMD systems running XP can be found for less than
$300, and used PII, PIII, or PIV may be available for less. If you are able
to locate the parts to upgrade your CPU, increase the ram, and add a larger
disk, you could spend as much, or more than the price of a vastly more
powerful and newer system. If you are considering this upgrade because you
want to be able to run today's software, I am afraid you will be
disappointed with the result. OTOH, if this is just the challenge, you could
enjoy tinkering with your old pc.
Good luck!

Hi Skydevil!
Thanks, for the assist. He would have enough speed with Windows 95 B (Forgot all about Windows 95)
very strange on my part. Windows 98 keeps popping into my head. Ha ha
The upgrade URL should work no matter what his speed. It also lists what he has in a printed

Sorry I wasn't here to answer your troll post. I was busy buying another new Computer. Since your a

PS Please keep troll posting, its helping me you big moron.
It will only allow 64MB of memory
It will correctly identify the HD
It will correctly identify the processor
It is not as good as the MRBIOS one
It does place the PB logo in the bios so you can use
the Master CD
That is the one advantage over MR Bios
It is BETA
I have it working on a 450MB now
I make no guarantees

Again Kook, this is of your own design. You keep changing the posting handle to MAKE YOURSELF SEEN
by the folks here that have you filtered out. My question is why?
You contribute nothing to this group but troll and flame posts? All your posts are archived at
http://www.google.com to show I am speaking the truth.
You crave attention because your a NUT CASE.
I have posted proof that you are a LIAR, A PHONY, and a TROLL. You have posted nothing in rebuttal
but "Everything by elector is deleted" well delete it troll, it does not change the facts. Your a
LIAR. You are a TROLL. You have NO Ph.D. You have no real "International Multi Million Dollar
Business", You are a thief (Stole Anthony's and PBUSER.COM's FAQ's), and lets face it you can call
anyone or send letters to anyone and the facts won't change. You open yourself up for investigation
via your rants and ravings. You are your own worst problem. Not me.
Simply go the hell away and find others that might be impressed with your lies and deceptions. You
win no converts here. Simply by not backing up your lies shows that my posts are correct. You like
to use long english, well the folks here have dictionary's and are not stupid. You like to practice
law without a license, well that is fine with me since only a fool would listen to any "legaleze"
you spout. Again the rules are simple.
1- Stop posting after another with the same or like response. Its dogging a post and rude.
2- Post with one moniker (posting handle) so if folks want to kill file you they can.
3- Stop the Flame posts. If 1 & 2 above are done then #3 takes care of its self.
4- A signature tag line your using is aginst nettiqute. Six lines is too many lines. Read up on it.
In closing showing courtsey gets courtsey. Now stop your troll posting and get a real job or life.

I am looking forward to the new Edition of Windows XP. Naturally its all hype and its a marketing
ploy but hey it gives a person something to look forward to.
I was in the store yesterday and they have these USB 2.0 add on external device which makes
everything run at the higher speed over 1.1
But is a body were to attach these cute $40 devices to their systems when they are running 1.1 they
will gain no benefit. People should read them labels. ha ha
I added 2 USB 2.0 high speed to my home build. The mother board had USB 1.1 but while loading the
newer add in card (5 usb connections in both for a total of 10 usb ports) I also gleaned at combo
cards that have an added Firewire port as well. Est. cost $45 but I now read that USB is going to
be the standard over the others when everyone held out this hope for the firewire standard and
bluetooth. How fickle we are with our toys. My old Packard Bell Legend 60 Supreme even at an
overdrive speed of 120 MHz. never had such connections and it came standard with Windows 3.1 and
you got the certificate for the Windows 95 upgrade.
How time passes...

Found a BIOS upgrade that will allow me upgrade it to a DX4 100 MHz.

Hi Skydevil:
Just a thought. A new processor chip can run over $100 and a new store bought version of Windows 98
can cost $80 and then there is the tax. for a total of $200 US
I was just looking at a Dell for $599 with a $100 rebate with free shipping http://www.dell.com/tv
and it was a P4 1.8 or 2.0 MHz. with all the goodies. So for $500 ($300 more) you get the newest OS
and the best sound and video and cd burner and dvd player and USB 2.0 just check it out.
Or I was in CompUsa and I noticed for $229 a new box with a P4 2.8 I think a 60GB hard drive and
USB 2.0 and firwire and 10/100 LAN and a load of other things. Bare bones no monitor but that is
for $29 more than your up grade. Again points to ponder.

It just depends where you buy from, the cpu only costs $12.95=pentium/233,
and as far as the win98
a few friends have it in their collection so all I have to do is go
pick up the cd from them.

actualy, $$$$ to ponder, if I had the money I'd go with a p4 system, I'm
going to get another HD to install in a removable drive tray, that way I can
switch between two operating systems 95 & 98 on two seperate drives.
95 for email and news groups. and receiveing files with.
98 for virus scanning, cd burning and accessing my digital cam with usb
port.
I added the usb upgrade to 95b, but I still can't access my cam with it(all
drivers for cam installed)
My friend in the UK has removable drive bays. In fact he bought a few over for me to try a few
years back. They alas are not that stable on my systems. I put them back in their boxes and packed
them away. I opted for the make your own system approach and I never looked back.
Like I told you before in a prior post, I just bought the add on card for my home builds and the
device works great. the USB 1.1 is just not fast enough for anything other than a Mouse or
keyboard.

are they "hot swapable"?
the ones I bought are.
There made/sold under the name "Genica"
the box has a web site under that name, its a www."".com site.

Well this is many years ago now, so lets see they were made I believe
by Syncom which was no help since numerous companies come up under
that name.
But yes they were hot swappable. In fact my friend came over and set
them up and they worked pretty well at first. It was the fact that at
the time I think because of the other devices on the chain (Ribbon)
that may have caused the problems. After they were set in the racks
and bolted down and then you had to lock and unlock them with a key
and then remove them for different OS and or different sets of data,
it was just a royal pain.
Today I use the USB Thumb Drives between the computers and they are
much faster and stable then the latter. And have a 10 year life span.
Not bad I would say.
They are (Removable drive bays) in their original boxes and in the
attic with the rest of the memories of my computers over the years. Ha

no atic, still have a huge collection of PC's rangeing from my favorite
Atari 130XE to a few other old 8-bit pc's and 2x 486's 25/50 mhz 1x XT
1x286 ?mhz and this pentium 166mhz witch I'll be upgradeing to a 233 by
this weekend.
only this system and my Atari are still setup, I still have BBS software
setup on my atari.
Hi Skydevil:
My lord that is a long time ago, an Atari. It reminds me of my TI
coupler system that used thermal paper. I have heard some folks still
keep their old Vic 64's.
In the old days I was an operator for the state and we just moved over
from an old Sperry Univac to the Honeywell. Back then it was not
personal computers but "time sharing" and I remember when Microsoft
had their first service for $4.95 a month (I had it) and AOL, Prodigy,
and CompuServe were the dial up providers of choice outside of the old
BBS. In fact I still have the old disks for the WOW Internet service
that never got off the ground. I posted on CompuServe for many
expensive years both in the Packard Bell Forum and many others. Of
course this was way before AOL stuck their hands into the service and
ruined it.
So we do go back a ways !

What do you use your Atari for?
