I have two boards, one however not currently working as described in another thread. It is at a friend's house so I can't recall the exact pairing. My working one has 496 OR and 497 NU

For all intents and purposes I believe the SX955 should cover the 5v case. The only other compatible CPUs I have on hand are DX4-100 (SK096) and 2 Am486 DX4-100 (NV8T) which are all 3v CPUs. I have tries all 3 variants with no success. I think I can rule out me misunderstanding the jumper settings …

The PVI-486SP3 is a little weird in regards to voltage. Manual only states 3.45v and 3.6v options. Basically all CPUs except for a Cyrix DX2 should use the 3.45v option.

Yes, I also used a DX2-66 (SX955) which is a 5v CPU afaict. If it where the VRM that have failed, is there any way to confirm and potentially fix this?

Hi, I recently got my hands on a second PVI-486SP3 board. Both this and my existing one are 1.22 revisions and besides different south bridge revisions seems to be identical. However, I can't get the new board to post. Initially I didn't get any error beeps but that was due to a non-working pc …

Thanks, so far I have mainly listened to SQ3 and have a hard time getting the intro track out of my head 😀

Just want to add this this was a simple cable issue.

No, I don't recall seeing a SoftMPU message but that is useful information. The Gameport-MIDI cable has both an IN and OUT cable. I have connected the OUT to IN on the MT-32 but will double check later and try revering them just in case. The MT-32 didn't come with anything but the PSU, so I found a …

I have a MT-32 (old version) which I'm unable to get working in DOS. I have it paired with an AWE64 Gold and using softmpu. I have used a couple of Phil's videos to configure the setup so I'm pretty confident that everything is set up correctly (e.g. Line in is not muted etc). I don't see any MIDI …

Thanks for your input.The 5ALI61 was readily available so that caught my initial interest. However, I ended up getting a GA-5AX instead since it comes in ATX form factor.

Hi, The 5ALI61 has 5 pins (basically only 4 as one is not connected) just above the DIN connector. According to the manuel it will allow for connecting a PS/2 mouse. However, I can't seem to find a cable that has a mini-DIN to this 5-pin layout. Any help would be much appreciated.
