Re: Need Video BIOS for ATI Graphics Wonder VLB (Mach32)!

I've honestly been procrastinating because I'm nervous about it 🤣. I finally went to get the EPROM chip (UV erasable this time) out of my mail so I will try it soon.

I hate the prices of these things these days. I got this in a machine I got with three or four others (the person I went with kept most of them) for $25 from some hoarder in rural PA. A 24-year-old, entry-level video card (albeit with RAM upgrade) for $80? Tha'ts almost half of what it originally …

Oh jeez I hope I didn't kill my card trying to use that BIOS from VGA Museum! I've attached a photo of my card showing the original BIOS label. The middle number is different from the one you showed, and it is two years newer. The Graphics Wonder card showed on VGA Museum has almost the same BIOS …

I have been able to find dumps of the BIOSes for both the Graphics Ultra Pro and XLR variants of the Mach32, but NOT the Graphics Wonder . Does anyone have this card and is able to dump their BIOS, or have the BIOS binary on hand? Fixing this card has been a royal pain for months, and I would really …

EDIT: turns out that card is an Ultra XLR like i thought (apparently they came with 1 MB of RAM as well). Seemingly impossible to find the dump I need. http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/83-ati-mach32 Based on this, the part number appears to be for a Graphics Ultra XLR VLB. That being …

Step 2 is persistent to BIOS. Unfortunately I don't have a backup of the original BIOS. I'm not sure if it's possible to get the VBI file for my card; I haven't been able to find a copy online. Perhaps someone here on vogons has such a file?

I am using this card on a 486 machine running PC DOS 6.22. Originally, this card displayed a VGA BIOS splash screen at startup. I tried to add Super VGA VESA BIOS Extension via a tool for Mach 64, mistakenly, as the 1 MB DRAM I added made the splash screen say Mach 64. After this, there was no …

My system is a 386sx40 running dos 5.0 (iirc). I'm getting adlib music, sfx, and digitized sound in the menu, but there are not door, gunshot, or voice sounds in game (which I assume are digitzed). I'm using a CT2230 or CT2290 Sound Blaster 16 with the integrated OPL3 chip. I've attached photos of …
