Hi, @Tetrium: Traditionally no pics from duncan - never held a camera in my hands. Greatest part is solved - with advice in german "Dosforum.de" and not less than four different manuals. From those, NONE was completely exact. One thing stays - I don´t like those Phoenix-BIOSes, and the board refuses …

Hi, summer is gone, fog in the river-rhine-valley, minus-degrees in the morning, no time to be outside cycling ;-) So I got me a new mainboard to play around- but it is pure jumper-hell. For Rev:1.1 I don´t find a manual or jumper docu, and the written-on-the-board stuff is not clear in some aspects …

Hi, @swaaye: as said, I prefer to upgrade stuff I already have to buying new things. And for playing (3D)games I do prefer my BX machines, ABIT BH6 wit GF2TI, ASUS CUBX with GF4TI. Knowing the limitations, I wouldn´t try to game with those old Matrox graphics. @nforce 4max: Those 1st generation …

Hi Unknown_K, of course it doesn´t get you anywhere - besides the fun to build a rig with all maxed out that´s available in the boxes standing around ;-) For playing older (non-DOS) games, I´ve got my two BX machines. The P55T2P4 is, like the PVI-486SP3, just for the pleasure of having it, tweaking …

Hi RacoonRider, looking for a K6/III at german "DOS forum". Don´t want to spend money but swap stuff I want/must (WIFE!) get rid of 😉 So, if you´ve got a spare one, I can offer for example a "BlueLightning" or an "it´s ST" 😉 greetings, duncan

Hi, "IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI Floppy" ...might be, that you by accident jumpered the ZIP as "Master A" or "Slave A" ? I do this most times, having no more floppy drives to care for and having A: as bootable medium with 100MB... greetings duncan

Hi, @vetz: Yes, definitely sure. I´ve got as well the 6MB upgrade for the Millennium I (MGA-MIL/MOD6), just waiting a card with 2MB to arrive from a german "DOS forum" guy. If you like to look at it: http://www.dane-memory.com/atd-fr/SystemDetail.asp?SysID=5423 Here you see that it was at least …

Hi, thanks for the input. @raymangold: The rainbow runner seems to be even more seldom than the 4MB upgrade - and prices are simply horrible. Btw, my Mystique does have already 4MB, but there does exist a 4MB upgrate to give it the max. 8MB the good old Mystique can work with. I search it just for " …

Hi, ...as far as I can understand this stuff at all, my conclusion: - AISP would work together with LSSER=1/on to serialize all commands in the pipeline - BTBT is the test register for BTB, in my imagination it could speed up BTB, making branch prediction more correct - "RLML=on = reorder locked …

Hi lazibazi ;-) depends on the board you have - you didn´t post model and revision. First step would be to look for the newest BIOS and it´s changelog. iirc, there are some VLB-boards supporting it, with pure ISA I don´t remember well (hardly ever worked with those). If you post model and revision, …

Hi, @feipoa: Did you ever fizzle around with those more "exotic" settings in P.Moss´s prog like "/AISP" or "/BTBT" ? And if, which results did you get? curious greetings, duncan

Hi feipoa, being completely new to all this, as a first step I used the most simple program for a start. It does en/disable quite a few features (and already gave quite a boost in the "quick and dirty" wintune97-benchmark), but lacked the FP_FAST. This alone did rise FPU performance in wintune from …

Hi, making the experience that parts is better as well. Not necessarily for the money, but for selling at all. Got "order" to clean out the storage room and built a few machines - but even the PVI-486SP3 with Am5x86 doesn´t sell completed...a few CPUs went, some adapter cards, but not a single …

Hi, re🇷🇪 firmware: IIrc, Creative never "constructed" own drives, but labelled "foreign" stuff. With something like DrHard or comparable you might find out the original make and update firmware to the newest of that. Just a suggestion... greetings duncan
