Try some no-DOS game with glide support (eg Diablo II). If it runs OK, card should be OK too. DOS games are mostly compatible with V1. Banshee is (if i remember correctly) derived from V2.

Still can't get the K6-III+ to work reliably at 550 MHz. The highest it would go without BSoDing is 95x5.5 = 522 MHz, but it's actually a bit slower in DOS Quake than 100x5. Is it because setting FSB to 95MHz also underclocks RAM..? Thanks for this thread - my SS7 rig (MVP3 PCPartner board, K6-2/ …

I think AMR has a key exactly in the middle of the slot.

Friend of mine bought very old Chicony notebook (386?) without PSU brick. Power connector is a bit strange (pic). Do you know that type? It looks like smaller mickey mouse plug, but we don't know how to find similar...

Thanks for info! I found there are two types of BIOS, but I don't know how to identify which one is on my board. Partnumber is the same for both types...

For pci I'd go with an 8meg S3Virge/DX It's compatible with everything. Is there 8MB Virge DX? In any case, I have 2 Virge DX cards, both expanded to 4MB and have problem with UFO: Terror from the Deep. Geoscape works, but every time I enter mission, game hangs. I tried it with CL 5436, Trio V2 and …

Just boot from WXP CD and install it on NEW partition. After installation system will let you choose which one you want to start.

My IDE-SD looks exactly like your third link. It works, but only as single drive on the cable or as a master on the end of the cable. I also tried 3 different cards (2GB, 2GB, 4GB) and all of them had to be prepared in DISKPART just as in the video I linked. Without it they didn't boot. Everything …
