Impressed there are Windows 7 and 8 drivers for that card!

My guess is a PCI Sega Saturn controller card, the IF-SEGA2/PCI from IODATA. My guess why they used the PowerVR controller was to integrate lightgun technology without VGA loop.

Guys, please stay on topic for this thread. If you'd like to continue discussing Artex's DOA CPU (I cried when I read it, Artex!) and Ebay return policy I can separate the posts into a new thread :) Sorry for adding to the flames. I get fired up about this topic. Still too many fresh wounds I guess …

As meljor said, easiest way to do this is buy from the guy in South Korea. I did for my P3B-F and it works flawlessly 😀

Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?

Regarding leaving stuff on, I have all my retro gear (monitors, pcs' kvm switches, speakers, midi devices, etc) connected to master power switches, so whenever I'm done, even standby power is off.
Re: S3 vs Cirrus Logic VLB cards
Posted on 2017-12-17, 18:02
S3 Vision series is both a tad quicker and have a little better compatibility than Cirrus cards, but if you have one of the later Cirrus VLB cards I wouldnt change unless I stumbled across an S3 card very cheap.

Unbricked an OCZ Vertex 30GB today and gave it a little run with HD Tach in Windows 98SE. vertex_hdtach.png I guess that poor SATA1 controller of the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe got maxed out. :lol: How did you go about unbricking it? I have a OCZ SSD in a frozen state and cannot get it to respond. Me too …

Sad to see the thread I started 5 years ago die. Never believed it would grow so big. I do understand some of the reasons given as I've been following the thread daily since the start, but I do also think it could be avoided. What I'm very happy for is that the general audience in the thread kept …

Yes, I'm talking about PIO MODE 4. No idea if it'll work or not. Would be great if someone could test another card than Adaptec.

I only own Adaptec SCSI VLB cards and I have the same results as you mention with regards to what works with WB L1. Been on the lookout for a Buslogic card for ages. In other tests I've done, using VLB IDE gives better theoretical and practical performance throughput compared to SCSI VLB (when using …

I know the PC Chips M921 runs the POD in WB mod, same with the Asus VL/I-486SV2GX4 (does not work with SCSI VLB with DMA/busmastering with WB enabled).

Is that board compatible with AGP 3.3v cards? I highly doubt it.
