the proprietary cable was quiet cheap imho, and smoothness appeared also in crt you can imagine in a digital conversion. No other cables were made. So my idea was to connect the lcd directly to the dxr3 without using the pass cable and in some way to tell the card it's receiving a full green screen …

I'm amazed by the incredible difference between the k6-2 500Mhz vs the k6-3 400Mhz. After using it for a while and trying the second right now, I find the k6-3 MUCH (!) faster than the k6-2. I know that 256Kbyte of L2 cache is the reason but I didn't imagine this difference. I didn't actually …

up 😀

Hi all, I always had this great card that I remember when my K6-2 cpus (even the 550Mhz) suffered the lack of power both with the Voodoo3 lack of motion compensation. I remember dvd could be played on the crt monitor with only 10-15% of cpu power (of the K62...). Sometimes I put it on my retro pc …

My ‘modern’ machine recently rejected the X-Fi Extreme Music I’ve been using since forever. Windows 7 suffered a rare BSOD and then refused to boot, which I suspect was a Windows update that conflicted with the old Creative drivers. It’s not the first time it’s happened and a re-install of the …

Thank you! By the way I am also trying to update a Winbond W29C020-090 (5V I think) eeprom that probably need a refresh.. :) I put it in the same Biostar mainboard that has 12V pin but bending it outside and powered with the 5V of the power supply. Incredibly uniflash 1.40 see it without forcing and …

SOLVED: This is how: i used another old Biostar socket 7 mainboard that had the same mx eprom and booted in Dos. Then hotswapped the Chaintech eprom into it and launched Uniflash. Older versions couldn't but 1.40 (latest) did the job without forcing the routine and this time (finally) did recognize …

Strange update: I searched and found in an older motherboard the same (!) functional MX eeprom. 😲 So I bootblocked with the older and hotswapped the new to upload the flash. Resulted the same flash verification error. I begin to suspect it's not a dead eeprom problem.

Too bad I hoped I could solve it without searching for another eeprom. I don't think I have the same eeprom on another motherboard so I need to find another chip I think. 😵 To use another brand/eeprom means that I only need to check pins configuration and voltage?

Update: I've tried Uniflash V.1.18 and v.1.40. With 1.18 using -force I actually can set the specific 1000PPC 12v version but after starting it gave me a FLASH VERIFICATION ERROR. With 1.40 the 1000PPC code is not present and only the 1000P 12v code is there. I've tried it anyway and it gives me the …

I try using only Uniflash then even if my first try with the latest version failed. I never tried hotswapping the eeprom or using the NIC card I've a NE2000 compatible isa card but I need to check for a eeprom socket if present and after that I need to understand what program to use to upload the …

Chip is a MX 28F1000PPC. I didn't use any parameters for the flasher during update. My error was probably to upload the same one saved by the utility in a previous update (Where it ask "Do you want to save the old one....").

Hello, I'm working with old socket 7 hardware and actually with a Chaintech 5AGM2 motherboard. Unfortunately during a bios update (restoring the saved one with the usual awd utility) it seems it flashed ok but black screen at boot. I've seen that with a good ISA video card it start with Bootblock …
