Hello Vogoners,
I recently got this card (in a lot of vesa local bus graphics cards)
It is not working.
Before throwing it away, I thought I can check the Video BIOS. I removed the BIOS from the card, then removed the sticker, it is an Texax Instruments TMS 27C512 chip.
When I read that with my TL 866 II I get only FF, also blank check says => Chip is blank. WTF.
Does anyone have the BIOS of such a card?
I am curious about that card, on the backside of the card, there is a sticker with "Jun 96" on it, so that seems to be a really late vesa local bus card.
EDIT: Sorry, I am stupid. The BIOS is NOT empty:
