Got the right(-ish) drivers to install for my ATI FireGL T2-S64 card. Thank Phil for an old video he happened to have on that particular card.
Now I'm trying to figure out why my mouse stutters when extracting files in Windows 98. That said, if anyone knows why this is, please let me know.

Is it a USB or a PS/2 mouse? And what are the specs of the system?

USB. Running on an AMD Thunderbird 1.0 GHz with 512 MB RAM, using and nForce chipset with the latest drivers for said chipset. OS is Win98. I'd read that USB can cause issues with some older systems, but haven't looked into details on what kind of behaviors to expect in those scenarios.

Current builds:
Soyo SY-5ED | Intel Pentium MMX @ 233 MHz | 64 MB SDRAM | ATI Rage 128 PRO Ultra GL | Windows 95/Windows 98 SE
Asus A7N266-VM | AMD Athlon @ 1.0 GHz | 512 MB DDR RAM | ATI FireGL T2-S64 | Windows 98 SE/Windows 2000 Professional

Did a bit more work on the 5155 - potentiometers and installing expansion cards.

The system is easier to work on than the 5150 that always gives me problems. Once I get the software for my NX Pro, I'll change the volume output and go from there. I just can't believe the untested 5155 works without issues.

6x86L PR166 arrived. Gave it some sea trials.

Will overclock to a stable 188 MHz (3*66) - scores 29FPS in Quake time demo (320x200), similar to a Pentium 100. Just Cyrix FPU things 😁

It will actualy POST at 210 MHz, but stability falls apart quickly.

90s PC: IBM 6x86 120Mhz. 128MB/6GB. ATI Rage Pro 3D.
Boring modern PC: R9 3900X, RX 7800XT. 32GB/1TB.
Fixer upper project: NEC Powermate 486SX/25. 16MB/400MB.

Restored a SR440BX to its former glory.

I also apologize for underestimating the power of it. Apparently this thing has 3.1 support.
