I have the below Data Expert MPG3365P card with an S3 Trio64V+ chipset and onboard Scenic/MX2 MPEG decoder installed in my K6-2 system.
The card is detected correctly as an S3 Trio32/64 (765) (driver by Microsoft) by Windows 98SE and the driver gets installed. The Scenic MX2 onboard does not get detected and nothing show sup on Device Manager.
Just to make sure, I installed the MX2 binary driver package anyway, but it added nothing to the Device Manager either.
As an extra measure, I removed the Windows driver and relpaced it with the latest driver by S3 I could find, 4.10 for Windows 95 by S3, and installed that. No change. I reinstalled the MX2 driver package, again no change.
I've looked online for details on this card or installing a Scenic/MX2 daughterboard in general and came up with nothing. Any ideas as to why the Scenic is not being picked up? It could be the empty sockets I presume but those appear to be for upgrading the currently 2MB VRAM to 4MB, the Scenic/MX2 works with only 512K RAM which is already on board.
Open to all suggestions..
