I was really surprised at how well the LEGO casing work. 😮 informative video as always!

ISA system on boards are the most fun to use in an Amiga since it provides a separate ISA bus -- you can then use an ISA bridge to access them from the Amiga (NOT the system-on-board bridgeboards, but the rare bridge cards that exist just to communicate with the ISA bus)

I Need to find one of these, preferably a DX4-100! Awesome Video Sir!

That is about the most creative use for LEGOs I think I have ever seen.

Truly fascinating piece of retro hardware! Would be cool to build a tiny little actual case for this setup! I was expecting wood, btw, not Lego! 😂

How cool is that with the little mini lego case! :D Amazing that after all these years and probably been constantly turned on that board still works.

I enjoyed this content. Thank you for your time and data.

What a great video. I knew these existed, but never saw one work. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.

that lego case is rather druaga1 esque i must say; great video boss!

These boards are insanely expensive, I still have to buy them to keep old machines running

i remember "Dooming" on this card Pre 9/11. lol of course we had a backplane, and a ati ISA card. used a AWE32 card on it. it was challenging and fun without internet to grab all the stuff we want like now. thanks for the video. i worked at a computer reseller in the late 90's -00's. we had loads of stuff i wish i had now.

Now I want to build a PC case out of Lego....

I have a OCTAGON SBC with a AMD GEODE 500 MHZ and a OCTAGON 5x86 133 MHZ witch both uses a 8 bit ISA bus.

iirc this was before the pc/104 standard

Interesting, like!

My first PCI video card was a Trident, unfortunately it was very slow, nothing compared to ATI mach 64. S3 trio was better too.

I am curious as to which mechanical keyboard you used for this project.

I have a NES compatible thing that is independent from a SNES, except it uses the power and controller ports from it.

Kinda surprised with the fact that SBC didn't have an integrated Video chip. Most SBCs I have come across have one, but you have to make a breakout cable as there isn't any space on the I/O plate. Being forced to use ISA only for graphics is rough as they are just slower. Even with an AMD 5x86 p-75 which is what that board appears to be using. It's a shame that these SBC parts are more expensive than buying a whole 486 machine though.

ah yes, blake stone aliens of gold. That was me and my dad's jam back in the day

what happens when you plug it into regular 486 can it run as a slave pc booster

didnt think to use a flipper's GPIO to be a simple power switch, i got mine primarily to be an Amiibo databse, what simple script did you make for just controlling those pins?

What retro enthusiast would not want one of these??

that is a really slick little system and seems to run well. That AMD x5 is very capable for dos gaming!

I can see you own spear of destiny so you're not committing piracy.i would've had to have informed f.a.s.t. otherwise

I was hoping this allowed parallel processing.

I have a shoebox full of these but with AMD K6/2....

No PhilsComputerLab test suite? Should be an instant requirement these days for channels testing old dos machines. Would have been nice to know more specs. CPU speed? Ram speed and timings? How much ram? No mouse? Doom? Quake? Duke3D?

Really interesting card, but the test was underwhelming. You tried Wolfenstein and some of its clones. Blake Stone is using the Wolfenstein engine, so of course if one works, so will the other. I was looking to seeing newer stuff like Doom, Duke 3D or even Quake, may be some benchmarks.

A flipper zero to bridge two wires?

i have a big metal pc with a big board with isa and pci connections the main board is slotted in a slot with both has a pentium 4 lga 775 ddr2 4 slots im selling it for scrap soon and other stuff
