Re: EISA Graphics / Video Cards

By all means do it. I predict that any Trio on VLB will be vastly superior to any chip you can have on the EISA bus. My theory why EISA cards perform poorly in DOS is that in order to use the benefits of EISA the app must be doing 32bit writes. When doing 8/16bit writes as is common in DOS the EISA …

I have Winner 1000 too. The one with S3-928 and both EISA and ISA connector. Funny thing is that at least in DOS there seems to be almost no difference between ISA and EISA configuration. In fact ISA seems to be a hair faster for stuff like DOOM framerate. On the other hand in Windows the EISA has …

Elsa Winner 1000 and 2000 (never seen one for sale) are just too $$$$$$$$$ for my tastes. The Mach32s were by far just absolute luck....one was on forsale website half way across the world and the other a misnamed Ebay auction. And the ET4000ax...well...I really can't remember where I got it. It …

Looks pretty good. How much was it? Minimum battery damage is better than major battery damage. Why motherboard companies used Ni-Cd batteries instead of Lithium batteries is beyond me. Well, just a little of trace corrosion on the battery traces, nothing else and of course it works perfectly fine. …

feipoa , no. I have no 9600 baud driver for windows. I stopped working on the converter PS/2 to COM because I had a idea to create the ISA card. The card works much faster than any converter. The card has one drawback - due to simplified emulation, not all OSs recognize such a port. The card works …

I change my Firmware to support the Baudrate-Switch from the Mousedriver with the Commandsequence '*n', '*o' ,'*p' and '*q'. The Mousedriver says, that the new Parameters are used. But the Baudrate is not changed. :( There is probably something missing. I will continue to search and test. @Madowax, …

What is ps2maset /r:3 for? I should use it with what baud rate and firmware? v1.1 firmware at 19200 baud is fine for sleep, but I'm hoping to get the Logitech drivers working in Win95 and WinNT. I plan to flash firmeware 1.0 -2400 this evening after all the kids are asleep. Now that it is spring …

I'm testing right now the board last revision and it's working as it should. Currently using 1.1 firmware. Feipoa you should try ps2maset /r:3 It's probably what you are looking for in terms of mouse speed.

[edit: our posts crossed. Let me read matze79's reply] The reason for 2400 baud was for use of Logitech drivers. There are likely people who want to use the adapter on more than just Win3x and Win9x. I'd like to use the adapter with Win NT 3.51, NT4, and possibly W2K. Will the Intellipoint drivers …

Will the final product be able to work at 2400 baud with Logitech serial mouse drivers? As you know, Matze79's 19200 baud firmware update can only work with the [modified?] Microsoft Intellipoint mouse drivers in Win 3.x and DOS. Seems that the higher baud rate was needed to please an issue with …

I also recommend adding a header to the card so that the PS/2 connector can be routed to another part of the computer chassis. That's no problem but the card is going to have its metal bracket with PS/2 port, are you thinking to some particular case that already has a ps/2 port with header? I'm …

Some of my systems have 8 slot AT motherboards in 7 slot ATX cases. On at least one of my systems, all slots are filled except the 8th one which obviously can't be used if the card has a metal bracket. The brackets are also totally filled in my 5150 and 5160 systems, but both can still accept one …
