Re: SIV support for 386/486/586 class + Alpha CPUs and 3dfx + S3 + Matrox + old ATI + NVidia GPUs - Help needed with testing

This is the .DMI file it made. Not sure how much use this is to you. Thank you for checking out SIV and posting the save files, it's good to get a post when there were no strange effects :happy: I prefer to have the .DMI as SIV runs better in test mode when it's there, but these days I can manage …

Aye, looks like it worked this time, I have no idea why. Maybe it has to do that I didn't had any update installed with the first Win2k install (the one that hardlocked to death :dead:), while this second one has all the patches that I could find installed. Good and I suspect we may never know! I …

Hrm well after the hardlock Win2k wouldn't boot afterwards (it would freeze at the login prompt) thankfully I could still access Win98... As for the HPET thing, I have no idea what this thing is, and there isn't any option related to HPET in the BIOS as far as I know. If it's freezing at the login …

Looks like it's hanging on section 221 (CPU TIMER) :neutral: Oops, sorry about this and I hope the system came back OK. I am trying to think what could have caused this as I don't recall this ever happening before with [cpu-timer]. My best guess if that there is something strange about the HPET , …

right now it's still installing the drivers as I'm posting this message. Great and I hope they all go in OK. With W2K SIV should get the multiplier correct as it changes, report the disk SMART data, the DIMM SPD information and in general do rather better. I have made a number of improvements for …

here's a report from Beta11 on my K6-2 with a legit Voodoo3 3 000, running at the correctly detected clock speed of 166MHz. Thank you, I comparted it to the earlier version and it's much the same, but SIV reported more about the Voodoo3. Why is the speed 166 MHz rather then 143 MHz, is this 3000 vs …

As promised, here's results from Beta 11 in all three configurations: RAGE PCI card as primary (and the desktop spanned across both GPUs), Voodoo3 AGP as primary, and Voodoo3 on its own. It seems to be picking up the correct data from both when they're set to primary now, but it still clocks the …

I've set up a VM with NT4 to see if SIV would report something different, so far the only difference was that the CPU was reported as being a Coppermine P3. Thank you. AFAIK Geyserville is/was the codename for a mobile Coppermine , see https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-roadmap-update-june- …

Hmm looks like this time it's reporting the correct clockspeeds... Thank you for checking this out, how do you know they are correct? Is there a SavageIX Utility that reports them? BTW I tried GPUZ on my Athlon MP and a P-III system, it crashes out on both. When I looked into why it's been compiled …

I can't find any driver for Win2k I just checked an XP system and it comes with some S3 Savage drivers built in, there is a SavageMX, but no SavageIX and I wonder if the MX driver does both. How does the Beta-11 SIV that's attached to https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=68756 do on W98?

If I can find a very ancient version of CPU-Z maybe I could find out its real frequencies... CPU-Z does not report my S3 Savage 2000 and in general does not report any GPUs that ATIADL/NVAPI don't support. If you post to CUPID's thread he may improve things. Perhaps I'll try installing NT4 on a USB …

from which I am posting this message lol Thank you and wow, I am surprised this is possible from 98SE. In general SIV did OK, but it's not going to get the FSB/Ratio correct on W9x, boot NT4/W2K/WXP and it should. I have added some code to the attached test SIV that should report some Savage clocks …

The exact Rage card I'm using is a PCI Rage LT Pro 8MB with a part number 109-54100-00. Thank you for running the tests and the link. I have added support for the PCI Rage LT Pro 8MB to the Beta-11 SIV that's attached to https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=68756 , how does it do? I have …

Edit, oops: it looks like I accidentally used an older version. Let me know if you want me to run Beta10 instead, or if you want more info from this setup. No problem, this may well be why the Voodoo 3 is as it is, but there is no support for your ATI card at all, further I an not 100% sure exactly …
