Have you tried several versions of the drivers? Possibly older ones? Link to my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1grex39s8wwovjh/AA … _t1NTqXjra?dl=0

On a photo showing the BIOS settings there are 2 interesting options disabled: hidden refresh & slow refresh. Enabling these options will likely speed up your computer. Here: hidden refresh and slow refresh Tiido explains them.

I think that ZIP memory you bought is unfortunately incompatible with this motherboard :( Both of your memory chips (424260 and 424170) are NEC branded, and both are 256kBx16, but in datasheets you can see that they are different types.

Standard AT PSU doesn't have 15V rail. 12V is max. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_sup ... g_diagrams Is this some special/ custom computer ? Or maybe you multimeter has bad battery 😀

So, why not try bios image from link in post #2 provided by dominusprog ? This motherboard have exact same chipset, so it (probably) will work just fine.

I’ve tried the DOSMIXER (ek1m.exe) that I found here on vogons. And while it works, it eats up 30MB or so of expanded memory when launched so can’t run doom for example. Impossible ! I will check tomorrow. (I have such configuration: SB Vibra16s connected to line-in of SB Live!). Edit. Ah, OK. …

Trident TGUI9440 VLB will also be good (in terms of compatibility and speed).

Epox board has newer bios available (02/07/2002), and retroweb page you've linked says it supports almost (Mendocino is the exception) everything Socket 370 (even fastest Intel Pentium III-S 1400). So my bet is on Epox.

It should be TTL compatible (5V) - not low voltage version. In my box of 2MBit BIOS chips from old/broken motherboards I have: Winbond W49F002A, w49F002U, SyncMos F29C51002T, SST 39SF020, EON EN29F002 and PMC PM29F002T.

Do you have another 2MBit (256kB) flash chips ? It does not necessarily have to be AE29F2008. Looks like your BIOS chip is defective 🙁

Your graphics card bios probably supports only VESA 1.2 standard. But this is no problem :) Just run s3vbe 2.0 before demo (from here): http://www.mediafire.com/file/2it5n2iejkj/s3vbe318.zip It will stay resident in memory.

If you are considering mature VIA socket 462 chipset, why not consider early s754 as well 😉 (i.e. K8T800) Windows 98 drivers are also available.

Yeah, from what I have been reading, there is probably no such signal premade. I would need to create composite maybe by tapping the feature connector and then do the ntsc encoding of I wanted color. Could be a cool project though to basically enable (cga) composite our on people's ega cards. Maybe …
