Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

Since low end 386sx motherboards often prove to be inappropriate for (and sometimes incompatible with) Win95 and NT, 16-bit drivers are of greater importance to 16-bit ISA cards. The 16-bit ISA bus predates 32-bit windows by nearly ten years. Cirrus Logic's AGP hardware might be more appropriate for …

Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

The term "GUI accelerator" does not refer to the datarate of a particular BUS. A card's internal datarate may be much faster than the ISA bus. Telling a video card to draw a complex shape may be faster than sending it a picture of one. When a GPU is less capable than the main CPU it can have a …

Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

My AST Bravo dx2/66 already has a PCI gd5434 with 2mb onboard. However, as a PCI card the GD5434 is not particularly fast. I have a 486/33 machine with 1mb/GD5428 onboard. Even for my 486/25 with onboard GD5424, a 2mb 5434 would hardly be an upgrade. My 386 machines already have 1mb video cards. …

Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

High value would only suggest that the the item is expensive, however, a new creation is not simply a white rhinoceros. The implementation of technological advancements in hardware should not be confused with emulation. Emulation often provides hardware as it never was and never could be. (pink …

Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

Looking at this as a Windows accelerator: Clip art and Metafiles were supposed to be scalable. Higher resolutions, would help prove the chips polygon acceleration. Why would anyone try for an overpriced red herring when they could create a genuine white elephant? The GD5434 might not be paradise, …

Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

Newer 486 machines quite often have hardware better than an ISA GD5434. And ISA cards with 1mb are quite common (and less expensive). This sounds like a tedious and difficult process. Why would you aim for anything less than superlative results? With a GD5434, you might not make the fastest ISA card …

Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

Perhaps you should use 4mb of memory with a gd543-4. Someone told that their ISA GD5424 was too slow to be of help to their 486. What type of machine would an ISA GD5434 actually accelerate? I once tried an ISA WD90C33 in my 286 and found that there were no drivers supporting it's accelerated …

Re: Newly made ISA CL-GD5434

A good GUI accelerator? Would a card like this work with a 286? Are there 286 compatible Windows drivers with support for the GD5434? Could you use something like this? https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/sop/d/lake … 7105438108.html

Re: Masm32 apps

Thank you for the help changing cputype works sorry about the vague description I was testing different compilers http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/programi/oofd16.zip And for compilers that output win32s apps (but require win32) dos box is nice pentium_slow works fine but guess a pentium4_slow is …
