[...] Dual slot 1 with AGP. Nice. Tyan 1836? Looks a tad sad tho, lets hope the brown stuff is dust and not the results of high temperatures. IBM OEM i440LX board. Utterly filthy and very battered. Can't even see if things are actually damaged due to the level of dirt - it literally looks like it's …

Why do you think your original BIOS is corrupted? Did you try to read it with your programmer? A BIOS from a similar board will do. Most 286 boards accept "standard" BIOS. Here are some, did you try those? 80286 BIOS image collection

I don not understand...does the MR-BIOS not work in a board that works with another BIOS...? The keyboard controllers are interchangable between manufacturers, see my post dated 2019-05-07, 15:02 in this thread. You cannot copy them, there also no need to do that because you can take one from …

Cool, thank you! I also look always on old hard disks I get if there are rare drivers installed. Nice card, but I dont have this one.

For EGA cards, the situation is more difficult. The 350-line EGA modes do not have TV compatible timing, so the RCA jack is usually useless in 350-line modes. In 200-line modes, the two jacks might behave just like on CGA cards with two jacks, but (as people already mentioned in the thread) on a …

What does your monitor display? If nothing, try to switch one DIP after one until you get a display. RCA jacks are not connected until you intall something to the feature connector.

Found a better picture at least, but no values visible. I think for the OSCs you need the same values as for the 16-bit cards with the same chip...25, 28 and 40 MHz http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/trade/ite … ologies-f82c451 Filename ctvga.jpg File size 602.39 KiB Views 483 views

Looking at the manual (the one uploaded by red-ray is slighlty different) its not clear for me if the "5V"-connector is a standard AT one...there is also 12V provided from that. Or does it have a similar pinout as the 3V-connector? Will check the connections before powering this one on...
