I would suggest setting the fractional sampling rate adjustment back to zero unless you are 100% sure it is necessary, and adjusting phase visually

OSSC image has varying softness across the scanline, some columns of text are sharper and others are softer. The image is shifted to the right and cut off, there is a column of black pixels on the left. There is slight banding (in some other images I find jailbars, though this particular one avoids …

Yes, I remember! IIRC, ASUS BIOS for P2L97 lx2i0102.zip worked with PPRO, no shutdown problem. https://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/Archive/Asus/slot1/440lx/p2l97/index.html More modern BIOS-es for this board - no PPRo support. But I did not modified intermediate P2L97 BIOS-es for PPRo support and I do …

Re: An IDE disk initialized on an older machine is inaccessible on my late model pc

It is likely that your disk may have no LBA support, so CHS only. So it will make problems on USB adapters. No wonder to me. Any idea why my model hard drive, the 425 MB Conner, shows RLL as the recording method on "Stason". Tried a search for specs by Stason for numerous other hard drives in that …

I would suggest implementing an auto LFN to 8.3 conversion in the FTP server. If the connected client tries to PUT a file with a LFN currently it just fails. You could make it simply write the file to disk in the truncated name format like win9x did. blahbl~1.exe +1 for timestamps

There is no Pentium Pro to Slot 1 adapter left anywhere on sale at, eBay, Aliexpress, Newegg, Amazon etc. The Pentium Pro adapter can only be used with 66 MHz bus. Not all mainboards can support this fsb, like i815 and i820 chipset. The performance of Pentium Pro is up to 233 MHz with of the die …

Interesting, do you know if it would be possible to enable a hidden setting in the BIOS to disable ACPI outright perhaps? There are no interesting hidden menu items as far as I can tell. Maybe it's possible to neuter ACPI by removing the ACPI tables module. The test build below does that. The …

I'm starting to suspect that your motherboard cannot write to the flash chip at all. Not due to a damaged flash IC (since you've already replaced it) but possibly due to damage in the motherboard itself. Also, you have an external EEPROM programmer right? What happens if you try to flash the BIOS in …

What was the error you found? Btw, looking for an opinion, I have a isa speedstar 64 (oem) and it glitches with 2mb installed. I want to fix it, I’m leaning toward the gpu being damaged. But the possibility of the 1st mb maybe having unused areas that are then used when 2mb is installed crossed my …

The Abit AB-PT5 works. It updates the ESCD and starts booting. I noticed that it updates every time I restart, though. I guess now I can pinpoint that the bios was corrupted somehow. I'd like to find the original bios somehow and get it back 100% but I don't think it'll be possible unless I find …

I've been using this BIOS for a few weeks now. It works great with one problem - the ACPI implementation seems totally broken. The only way I can get Windows XP or 2000 to install is to use F5 and choose "Standard PC" during the setup. Booting from Hiren's mini XP works, but if you try to shut down …

The "DMA transfer speed" setting on the 154x series cards makes all the difference. Try setting it higher if you can, but you must test to make sure it doesn't crash or corrupt data
