I recently resuscitated an old Biostar ISA/VLB, 486DX2 system running Win95 and now I’m trying to configure it to run an eeTools RomMax-4G EPROM programmer. After installation, the ISA card doesn’t show up in the Device Manager and the RomMax software does not recognize it.
The card itself has a block of 8 jumpers, with the sixth one installed. I spent a fair amount of time online but I haven’t been able to find any documentation describing their use.
The Add New Hardware wizard is unable to detect the card. The software that came with the programmer doesn’t include a driver or .INF file and I haven’t been able to locate one online. When I attempt to add it manually it’s not included in the list of default devices.
I attempted to add the card as an “ISA Plug and Play bus” system device, which adds a “ISA plug and Play bus” device to the Device list with Device Failure status. The same happens if I try “ISA Plug and Play bus with VL slots”. (The motherboard has VL slots, but the device itself is ISA only.) When displaying as a failed device, none of the other devices in the list indicate any resource conflicts.
Should this card have a driver? I haven’t been able to find any reference to one online.
Does anyone know what the jumper definitions are for this card? The board says "RomMax Rev 1.6" on the back.
Should this card report as an ISA Plug and Play device? I’m not familiar with how ISA Plug and Play works. Is there a master list somewhere of devices that have been approved for IP&P?
