In my opinion some of the rarest (and ideal) v2 setup is the canopus witchdoctor setup (spectra 2500 connected with two pure3d 2) full V2 compatibility and no image degradation in 2d http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/canopus.htm http://tdfx.de/eng/spectra2500.shtm http://tdfx.de/eng/pure3d2lx.shtml …

The Phoenix BIOS works fine with the ps2 mouse. It also recognise my Cyrix 5x86. Only one strange thing. I was not able to Programm the BIOS chip in the board. Tried uniflash 1.40 - Always have to usw an external Programm er.

Thanks for modifying but it did not work. No message for detecting a mouse and the cutemouse driver did not find something either. Microsoft mousdriver loads, but if I want to test with norton commander, the system crashes.

I did not have an AMI BIOS. But i will try, if somebody post it in the thread. I am also thinking, if it could be possible to modify the Award BIOS for mouse support.

imo the special thing about a v2 sli setup is the backward compatibility. there are only a few dos games that do not work. With V3 there are more. performance wise v2 sli = V3 2000 anyway ... i recently played the emulated glide TombRaider Steam version ... absolutly great - even musik works! so - …

ok - success! working ps2 port on my board Pinout is Data Clock GND NC VC -> Version 4 in my tryouts. Maybe I made a mistake when trying out all the possible pinouts. Anyway, now its fine. ... now I need some more Cache - only 128k is installed - any suggestions where to get it?

hmm good news - but that means there is one option less to get ps2 port runing. I think I have to measure this evening. Maybe the cutted pin ist used for a signal or there are some traces broken on the board. Or ... it simply does not work.

I am curious why you are guessing the Vcc pins The answer why I tried is quite simple ... because I did not think of your suggested measuring procedure. ;-) But I will do so. - If I have to bet on one, it will be Version 1 from my list above. Do you have some information on the mentioned keyboard …
