Hi all !
I have a Sony PCG-C1VE, very neat little portable with a Yamaha YMF754 inside. I did successfully installed a 2006 VXD version drivers so i have sound and some legacy sound under W98SE.
But under MSDOS, i can't make a setupds.exe, even a modded one, to work properly. Everything is grayed out, no choice of whatever, no sound (but FM music ok).
So I did modify to test severval versions of setupds.exe program, version 3.16, to match the PCI ID of the ISA bridge (Intel) or the northbridge (Transmeta).
I followed this post:
"Modified the SETUPDS utility so I'm now able to use DDMA mode on a VIA KT133E/686B platform. Used the version on Yamaha's site and modified offset AEC0 and AEC1 from 96 05 to 86 06 (the PCI ID of the "PCI-to-ISA bridge").
Nice guide BTW. 😀"
With these values, the chipset inside this Sony :
Bus 0 (PCI), Device Number 0, Device Function 0
Vendor 1279h Transmeta Corp
Device 0395h LongRun Northbridge
Command 0006h (Memory Access, BusMaster)
Status 2200h (Received Master Abort, Medium Timing)
Revision 00h, Header Type 80h, Bus Latency Timer 00h
Self test 00h (Self test not supported)
PCI Class Bridge, type PCI to HOST
Subsystem ID 02951279h Unknown
Subsystem Vendor 1279h Transmeta Corp
Address 0 is a Memory Address (0-4GiB) : FC100000h
Bus 0 (PCI), Device Number 7, Device Function 0
Vendor 8086h Intel Corporation
Device 7110h 82371EB/MB PIIX4E/M ISA Bridge
Command 000Fh (I/O Access, Memory Access, BusMaster, Special Cycles)
Status 0280h (Supports Back-To-Back Trans., Medium Timing)
Revision 02h, Header Type 80h, Bus Latency Timer 00h
Self test 00h (Self test not supported)
PCI Class Bridge, type PCI to ISA
But nothing changed, nothing worked as expected 🙁 any clues ?
