So, I have a strange board for which I cannot find the manual. It's an Aries _3P, DOC: 14760, which has a Socket7 slot marked with P54C. I have a strong feeling of this being an FIC motherboard, given the model number on the PCB, but I have no info on it yet. Could you please take a photo of the …

Your board is currently configured for 2.5x * 60 = 150 MHz. For 233 MHz CPU, you want to use 1.5x setting (which 233 MHz CPUs interpret as 3.5x). This is likely the one listed as "fraction 2/3". And 66 MHz. I read "fraction 2/3" as 1.5x, 1 / 2 as 2x, 1/3 as 3x and 2/5 as 2.5x. For JC1 and JC2 1/2 …

If it doesn't outright support MMX then I guess Pentium MMX Overdrive 200 should work or AMD K6 233 (probably the fastest option). Hm, I do have a K6 233 on hand, which I've tried, with the same jumper settings as the P150 I get odd results, here's a comparison of what the bios displays: PENTIUM-S …

So I'm just going to update this post with the threads findings to make life easier for anyone that may end up with one of these systems. The Motherboard is an Aries_3P, a FIC produced board for AIWA, for the PC-MT601, the P54C CPU socket is single power and the clock generator can handle only 50hz, …

Not quite a dumpster, but found this Aiwa PC-MT601 in a local store a few months back for 1100yen (roughly $10) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/El0D1ZpUcAIJmMe.jpg Had no hard drive and CRT would not turn on, someone had cut the traces on the built in TV tuner to make it onboard graphics only (no tv/av …

I've done some more digging around, namely I dumped the SST29EE010 bios to see if the internal values could help with identification of the board, The board itself states ARIES_3P / DOC 14750 on the silkscreen. Info pulled from the bios: Bios Version : Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG Bios Info : 06/05/96 …

Hey all, I've got an Aiwa PC-MT601 (Win95 based All in one) which has a CS4232 on the motherboard along with an OPL3, I've tried a bunch of drivers but getting mixed results, the only ones that seem to work at the ones in the ORCHID3D folder on the Win95 disk. Sound seems to work fine in Quake, and …

Well, I tried to run the DOS version of VMT, but the top section of the screen disappears seconds after starting (I can see the statistics section, but nothing above that, it just goes blank white). The test continues to run, but clearly it's testing invalid memory areas as the test quickly starts …

So VMT on my fully functional Voodoo 5 5500 PCI shows 31,559,680 bytes. https://www.paradigital.net/VOGONS/v5-pci-vmt.jpg Thanks! This is relatively good news as that's how much windows VMT detects mine as having, and passes fine with, and passes in dos if that amount is manually set, I'm guessing …

Does anyone here have an agp 5500 they could run VMT on Windows with to see what capacity it says is available? I have a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI I could run if you get no AGP offers of help? Essentially the same card anyway. Worth a shot! I'd imagine the memory is identical across both agp and PCI …

So some really weird developments. I dipped a new toothbrush in isopropyl and scrubbed down the contacts of all the ram chips incase there was any debris or contaminates causing partial shorts or full shorts, and now the card boots normally to windows, and 5 minutes of quake 2 didnt have any issues …

This looks a lot like bad RAM on the primary VSA100. You can run Video Memory Stress Test to further investigate. The archive also contains a .iso file you can burn to CD to use the test without Windows. Best of luck! :-) Edit: I think I found a picure of your card on twitter. What's all that white …

Hi all, Recently picked up a bundle of old cards, inc a Matrox M3D, Voodoo 3 3000 and a Voodoo 5 5500, the M3D worked as is, the Voodoo 3 3000 worked after replacing two caps that had been knocked off it, and the Voodoo 5 5500 had several 100nf smd caps knocked off it which have been replaced, and …
