Here you are! It even has the chipset pinout, benchmarks and compatibility add-on card chart! 😲 Todays' manuals are so boring... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60581885/J%20manual.rar

Sorry for the late answer guys, I've been pretty busy these days. But I always read your answers. :) Swaaye, I read your answer in my other topic, don't you worry about that. Alphawing, BIOS doesn't let me assign IRQs manually. :depressed: Well, I guess the IRQ table is... erm super messy :P see …

The other pci devices play nice with the live!. Anyway, I guess I'll have to find a s478 mobo with windows 98 support and intel chipset with onboard usb 2.0 or just remove the pci card as I've accomplished my file transfer needs with the ethernet card.

It's a qdi advance 10e, with via 694x chipset. I'll try that, but removing any of the other pci cards is a no go for permanent use. 😀

Tried installing XP on that machine. Everything is installed properly, no weird things on the control panel also. But when inserting a USB stick on the aforementioned USB ports, I get an INSTANT restard. WTF is going on here?

Yes yes, if I insert the USB stick (8GB btw) on the onboard USB 1.1, it works good. ISO mount, large file transfer ok. But is sloooooow... The USB stick is 100% compatible. The problem must be something on the BUS, driver related etc. But is annoying for sure! The transfer becomes problematic after …

Hello forum! In a Win 98SE installation that everything works good, I've installed a NEC-based PCI USB 2.0 card. It gets detected, I've installed 3-4 different drivers that all get it to work, my USB 2.0 stick is installed and I can see all my files inside it. I installed many programs from there, …

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I cannot find the guy that used to sell pin modded Pentium III on ebay just a while ago. Is there a chance to find such a chip?

Except that 6800 is native agp and supports agp 2x, I guess that you are correct obobskivih. I will try to find a radeon 9700 or an nvidia equivalent then. 😀

I just tried to share the whole hard drive in 98. I gave a full access password, and I have enabled the file sharing. Also, on win 8 side, I've turned network discovery on and disabled security to the point the OS leaves me. But I still get the username/password thingy on the 8 machine, when trying …

Of course I'll put into a voodoo2 for glide, I've already mentioned this. My ti is unfortunately not working. :/ Isn't there any stability problem with i440bx and much newer cards, like fx series? Don't many older games behave badly when they "see" dx9 installed with a dx9 accelerator? What about …

Alright, I want this system for dos and windows 3.11 really, so the usb would have helped for transferring files in it. Network sharing between an 64bit windows 8 machine and win 9x just does not work, the windows 8 pc finds the shared folder, but I'm out of ideas what to input for username and pass …

Yes but I'd prefer compatibility with a wide range of 1995-2000 games rather than being able to play at ultra high resolutions for that era. I'm looking for the best compatibility that would allow a step or two up in the resolution front actually. So this best compromise is a gf4 ti? 😀

Well, I guess I'm out of luck this time. The inf updater indeed updated some files, but the exclamation mark was never removed. I formatted it and installed 98se from scratch. Now the controller is installed, but I have an exclamation mark at the root hub... So I guess it can't be helped... I'm …
