Plus, you’re probably going down a path that nobody else has, and nobody else has encountered the problems you’ve just created. Google searches will turn up empty for the errors you’re getting.
In the early 2000s I had a Pentium III in an FCPGA to PPGA adapter plugged into a PPGA to slot 1 adapter in my Abit BX6 2.0 board. Amazingly it worked for awhile until it suddenly didn’t. It didn’t crash gracefully either, it started throwing all kind of random errors at random times. I miss the times when you could do ridiculous stiff like that though.
Back in the late 90s I had my first cable modem, and I wanted to share it with my mom (had moved back in after a 4 year relationship imploded) - I knew nothing about routers, but I was already playing with Linux, and somehow I found a way to share my Internet connection with my mom’s computer with only a single NIC in my machine, and a hub. It was not the modem allowing both, that I was sure of early on, the modem would only allow one mac address at a time, power cycle would let it pair with a new one. Somehow my machine was buffering and natting packets from hers. It worked for months until suddenly it didn’t, and while researching a fix, everything I could find said what I had been doing couldn’t possibly work, that you needed a separate NIC for the internal network.
I once replaced someone’s BIOS chip with an identical one I pulled from a white box computer I found on the side of the road a decade prior. That thing was still working when that old man died, and he downgraded it from XP to Windows 98 ME of all things.
People who are “very computer” tend to combine stuff that doesn’t have a guarantee to work.
Like a desktop Frankensteined together from multiple different computers into one working monster.
Those things have whole new problems of their own.
