OK. I tried it but not much difference... still doesn't work.
Keyboard controller compatibility

Hi, I've tested one of my 486 boards... at first there was no life in it... but after doing many jumper swaps it POSTs but only to show a keyboard not present error. It has CR2032 battery so there is no corrosion near keyboard connector. Also leds on the keyboard light up on power on and when I …

I might do the same... sort and count what I have. I've already identified, tested, sorted and paired EDO/FP 72-pin memory and double paired 30-pin 256KB, 1MB and 4MB memory modules. Still have to do SDRAM and DDR SDRAM. I have boards from 286 to s1150 - I intentionally don't have any XT era stuff : …
Re: ATI MACH64 Graphics Pro Turbo 1600 VLB (?)
Posted on 2020-03-25, 10:43
I've tested my Mach64 4MB VLB and it does 1600x1200/16-bit at 54Hz on a CRT monitor. Diamond S3 968 4MB VLB does the same at max 67Hz - but the CRT might be the limit here as I'm using EIZO FlexScan T563 17" at the moment.

ychh0, what motherboard are you using? If it is an M919, 'nuff said. I have two of those boards and they are incredibly buggy. At first I missed his MB description too: My 486 mainboard is made by SAMSUNG with Pheonix bios and officially support up to PODP83 with Bios upgrade. This mainboard has 4 …

Just tested my ATI Mach64 4MB VLB at 1600x1200/16-bit and 60Hz on Windows98SE with PcChips M919 V3.4B/F VIP motherboard with 256KB cache. It works fine with 4x16MB FPM, 2x32MB FPM, 2x32 + 2x16MB. I have other 4MB VLB cards, but see no point in testing. Might try with a true VLB motherboard later... …

I can test it but don't have Win98SE installed anywhere at the moment 🤣 I only use Win95OSR2 for 386/486 computers and that is just for testing purposes.

Jerovsek brand seems familiar :lol: My guess is that you have to use drivers for sound card to enable its ports. Anyhow you can connect two IDE units to your I/O controller card - the cable has three connectors, two for devices - primary and secondary. Connect IDE CD-ROM as secondary - configure HDD …
Re: How important is a PCI graphics card in a 486?
Posted on 2020-03-19, 08:23
There are no gains going from good VLB to good PCI graphics card on a 486/5x86/Overdrive. Even from bad VLB to good PCI isn't much difference - unless you have a Weitek Power 9000 VLB/PCI card 😉

You have to setup music for the game you want to play as "General MIDI" or "Sound Canvas" on usually port 330. This is all. For sound effects you select usual Sound Blaster option.

CRM Beige Case with LED MHz display UNKNOWN Socket 3 motherboard (board marked "V3.4B/F", largest chip: UMC UM8881F 9652-EYA MB1226) Yes, this is most probably M919 motherboard. I actually really like it as it has ISA, PCI and VLB slots and it's fast too. The most problematic is cache. It uses …

Usually you have to set the parameters in the BIOS. Via auto-detect feature or set to AUTO in the Standard options.

Yes. I was mostly interested in fractal generator. It takes really long time on a 286-16 with 287. I'll use it to do some benchmarks.

You can leave smartdrv, just limit it's memory use. Caching HDD it's wise to do. lh c:\windows\smartdrv 128 This will use 128KB of extended memory.

Windows 95B has them included. Maybe also original release, but I haven't tried. CL GD-5434 is a chipset from early 1994 and was used for ISA, VLB and PCI cards.

For 1995 game in 1995 any VGA card would support SVGA. I used to play NFS on my ISA only 486DX2-80 with ET4000 ISA card and my monitor at the time was true VGA with 640x480 only. Of course I played in VGA mode.
