Gah!

I was sooo close to getting a Jaguar, a Jaguar CD, two controllers, and a hanfdul of games for $100 off craigslist yesterday! I repsonded within a day of the posting, but the guy said it was sold almost immediately :\

Freeing up the seond PCI slot didn't help matters in my problematic computer, so I've since installed a PCI USB controller and disabled the motherboard's integrated controller. Next step is to buy and install a fresh CMOS battery, followed by a PCI SATA controller, and if that doesn't work, then I'll install Windows XP. If that fails to solve the problem, then it's time to bring back the Athlon XP.
