An interesting follow up (for me at least): I tried the memory swap, replaced the 0 Ohm jumpers, but not succeeded in installing the new chip (almost melted a hole in the pcb, removed the chip instead and cleaned the pads for no shorts), so it has no memory chip on my AWE64 Value until I have enough …

Interestingly still no difference between the two BIOS versions. Scitech Display Doctor (6.53 DOS version) reports 7 modes before and 7 after, but after running the Speedstar24X's own VESA TSR I get 3 new 15 bit modes (without the tsr 8 bit modes are the highest available). These new modes work well …

I have made a few tests. Motherboard: GA-586ATS, CPU: P1 133MHz, RAM: 16M EDO; Video card: Diamond Speedstar 24X with WDC chipset and 1Mbyte video memory, 0WS jumper installed, 16 bit BIOS jumper installed. Test programs: the DOSBENCH collection and VIDSPEED. Long story short: I did not find any …

I have a Speedstar 24X REV A5 with the WDC chip and no BIOS ICs (I have a programmer and EPROMs). Can somebody dump me the BIOSes for this card? I could not find it anywhere yet. Google photo search shows cards with BIOS version 1.04, so it may be a complete different branch than those I found here …

Just noticed on the photo that your board doesn't have a voltage converter (see the silkscreened rectangles just east of the CPU socket), which means it runs all CPUs with 5V. So be careful and only try "cheap" CPUs. I have the same motherboard with no voltage regulator and the place of the voltage …

There were days when everybody carried a spare hdd in a mobile rack drawer in his backpack for moving data. When I put my drive into the bay of my friend's computer, my drive (one primary partition) would be D: and his logical partitions got shifted (the same problem as yours). One solution/trick …

Thanks for the zip, darry, I just dug out my old drive for a retro config and the driver works in DOS, I got my 3 drive letters. Too bad the internet is now full of fake driver collection websites, some things are hard to find. I found an older version torisan.sys somewhere, but this is the "new" …
