sebaz_ri, How were you able to flash your M919 with the uniflash.exe program you uploaded? When I run uniflash on my M919, the option to flash the BIOS is greyed-out. All I can do is backup the current BIOS. the option to flash the BIOS is greyed-out when you dont have a flash-able BIOS i used a …

The chips say AR514400-07 If your SIMM memory module has -07 at the end of the really long line, then it's probably 7ns ;) Best is to always read the last numbers in the longest line on the chips themselves ;) As for BIOS tweaks, I don't know much about that myself. ...and grats for finding that …

Has anyone with an M919 been able to use the above mentioned BIOS updates? PC Chips didn't want people to be able to change the BIOS or else their sneaky little trick with the fake cache chips would be uncovered. Frequently they would solder the BIOS chip directly to the motherboard so it couldn't …

at least x-wing (both floppy and cdrom) is quite famous for having disturbed FM sound on faster CPUs. well if you have a free isa slot you should go for an awe64 gold, you can get them for 1-5€ on ebay

I wonder if other 486 UMC chipset-based BIOSs will work? Like a HOT-433 flashable BIOS? That would be great if you could upload an image (or typed out) of the setup pages contained in the 1998 M919 BIOS setup. I am curious which, if any, user selectable changes they added.

The floppy disk edition of X-Wing is the only one that really screws up on fast computers, but it doesn't screw up with the SoundBlaster Live! on all the computers I've used it on. The Collector's CD-ROM edition only screws up when using the AdLib sound option for music, which I'm not using. I'm …

regarding the awe64 (also the awe32 if it is PNP), you need to initialize the PNP bios with the ctcm.exe program, after that you need to initialize the card itself using the diagnose.exe program with /s parameter. and finally, you have to load aweutil to get the card in proper working condition. …

I can't do that with MS-DOS v7.10. I get errors from the program about running Windows 95 to do I'm not too sure what and CTCU says it can't run in a Windows 3.1/Windows 95 DOS box. WTF? I'm not trying to run the damn thing under Windows, I'm trying to run it under DOS! WTF???

I'll give it a go later today. Now for yet another problem, this time concerning PCI sound cards with SBLink connectors on them. I put together a homemade SBLink cable and I'm trying to get it to work on my Yamaha YMF744. However, I've got a big problem with SBLink on that card. I need to use the …

BIOS is not soldered. Here's a high resolution image of the MB with 256 KB cache module. EDIT: This image is probably more appropriately placed with the Ultimate 486 Benchmark Comparison since this was the motherboard use for this project. Refer to this link for the image, http://www.vogons.org/ …
