Hi folks,
I'm in the process of reviving my 486, an ABit PB-4 motherboard with an AMD DX4. Was a little surprised that it POSTed first time (and of course needed a new CMOS battery). First weird issue I had was that my Trio64 card produced only yellow on the monitor. I got around this by adding my Voodoo 2 card - why on earth would this work as a solution?
Second more irritating issue is that, while I have successfully installed DOS onto my compact flash C drive, it says the operating system is missing. Sys c: works so I'm guessing it's something to do with the boot sector not being recognised on the flash drive. Is this a known issue? I'm happy to switch to a Quantum Fireball if I have to but thought the flash card might be a nice touch (provided there are no performance issued like those that have been reported).
Thanks.
