Hi folks,
I have a Trident 9000B 512K graphics card in my 386 SX 33 system, but I can't seem to get it to work in 16-bit mode.
Here's a picture of my card and motherboard etc.
It seems to be match this card on statson.

And is also very similar to this one.

Currently the jumpers are set like this jp7:closed jp8: closed jp9 a/b/c open. now this should give 16-bit bus operation as far as I can see. but take at look at the Dr Hardware result.
My Trident 8900B card gives these results when correctly jumpered to 16-bit bus operation.
Any ideas? I've tried the auto detect jumper(jp8) both enabled and disabled and it makes no difference. It's clearly running as an 8-bit bus card, here's the results from my Realtek RTG3105iEH, a card that is known to only run at an 8-bit bus speed for comparison.

And yes, I know Trident is a slow card and there are many better choices, but this is a nostalgia build of my first PC & that had a 512K trident. It's just bugging me that I can't get it set properly.
Best regards,
Chris
