Hi, I'm currently setting up a 486 system with a voodoo 2 card. Now that I installed the card in the system as well as successfully installed the driver in windows 95, whenever windows boots up or I try to run a program that uses glide mode, an error message pops up telling "no PCI bus found" and …

Hi @pentiumspeed Thanks for your suggestion, but a bios upgrade already resolved all my problems. It is just counting up the ram during post 4-5 times now, but no big deal for me. @mkarcher about the 64k chips I didn't think of that... good point with the sockets :D I think it wouldn't make such a …

Hi, ok I did it... after 2 hours of scraping I depotted the dallas chip, soldered a 2xAA holder on to it and bingo, bios saves settings now. Unfortunately that didn't solve the IDE problem, still all the same symptoms. I might later try to reflash the bios, just in case a bit flipped in there or …

Hi, well the only setting in BIOS is to disable the SCSI BOOT ROM. But if I do that, the board won't boot from my main SCSI drive, and it also won't boot from IDE. It is just sitting there doing nothing 🙁
