Also looking for Powergraph File. If you release files its soon buyable on chipkin from Russia 🇷🇺 Why not instead profit yourself from your work. The Card runs fine for me, but on 33Mhz Bus only. Going higher does not work on HOT 491P.

Solaris 10 does not run on this Architecture… Do you run Windows XP on a 386 ? This Machine is from 1994

To the Max means RAM Expansion SBus Card ! And don’t forget Weitek CPU Upgrade 😉 this Baby should go almost 80/100Mhz I love Sparc Hardware. There is Russian 32 Core Sparc CPU now with x86 binary translation called ELBRUS Edit: Elbrus is no longer Sparc cpu.

You can also use SoftMPUs Serial Out feature and Roland Serial MIDI Driver for Windows. This Way only a Nullmodem Cable and a USB2Serial Adapter is needed 😀

It just depends on what you find useful. Doing excel spreadsheets, using word.. Corel Draw all this benefits heavily. Using a Scanner also quickly did exhaust memory. And specially if switching between different Sessions. Excel and Word with 4 megs was pain in the ass 🤭 But yes most games will fine …

A 386/40 should have some cache. Regardless whether DX or SX. Depends.. Cache is not the all hail method. i also found 386DX40 Systems with Cache with very slow memory Speeds. Some MX Chipsets had 8Kb integrated into System Chipset and this was also already giving a good boost :-) And also there …

Hehe most t&l games anyway will be too slow on a K6. At least the q3 engine based games will benefit a bit from it.

Would it not easier to implent own glide accelerator on fpga and change opensource glide drivers ? 😁 A Glide Wrapper is nothing else :- | Simply replace glide*ovl/dll with own versions. Would also avoid patent/copyright issues. i would not be able to do this.
