  • Just plug in an ISA card, duh.

    Seriously though you’ve sent me down a rabbit hole that doesn’t have a satisfactory ending (yet). Some kind of LPC to FDC adapter seems to be potentially possible on some motherboards, but haven’t found any concrete evidence of someone having done that yet.

    Most practical solution is to use an external USB drive, strip the casing, print a plate and wire the cable to the onboard USB header on the mobo.

    This may get further research 😂










  • I’ve not desktop environment on the NAS, it was plug and play in terminal. I did get an error about HSW/BDW HD-Audio HDMI/DP requiring binding with a gfx driver - but I’ve not yet even bothered to google it.

    I read somewhere the sparkle elf I have just ramps the fan to 100% at all times with the Linux driver and has no option to edit fan curve under Linux (suggested fix was install a windows VM, set the curve there and the card will remember, but after rebuilding the NAS and fixing a couple of minor issues to get it all working I couldn’t face installing windows, so just left it as is until I have the time lol).
