There are two chips marked SB82437FX-66 and SB82371FB on the motherboard. From a quick googling possibly 430FX? There's no onboard cache. Would something like this do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-512kB-COAS … on/224163890552

Hi all. Just a quick question. I'm looking to put a COAST module in my AST P166. I'll be honest that I haven't scrutinized the motherboard yet but it does have an empty COAST slot and CPU-Z doesn't report any lvl2. I don't know upto what size the board supports, and I know bigger is better right, …

Back in the day I had a P166 mmx, but I really remember if it was AGP or not. At the moment for Windows 98 I use a socket 462 Athlon 1.4 which is fine but runs a couple of games (like Descent) too fast. So I thought it would be nice to get back to my original roots of a 166. I was looking on the ' …

I thought if you had the advanced properties set to "use current config" it would use the current autoexec and config.sys but would also run dosstart.bat? If, like you say, you choose to specify the autoexec and config.sys in the advanced properties it would use that and NOT then run dosstart.bat. …

My problem is, when I choose to restart in dos mode from the 98se start menu, it does continue to do so but hangs when calling c:\sb16\diagnose /s My exittodos.pif is standard, I'm not specifying and thing there and the dosstart.bat has the offending diagnose and mixerset commands in there. If I …

Ahh that's great, cheers! It's something I've never thought of, so at least I've learnt something today.

Hi there I'm not sure if I've made a really error here. Last night I eventually got my SB16 CT2230 and Vortex2 cards working together. SB16 for DOS, and the Vortex2 for windows 98 + DOS MIDI out (to bypass any SB MPU-401 issues). But, I only had a pair of in-ear headphones to test when things were …

Hi all Sorry for this being my very first post. I've spent a good few days reading up on the various SB ISA card versions, bugs and deficiencies etc, and I'm wondering if anyone could confirm that what I'm hoping to go with will work ok? I have a win98 machine, 1Ghz Athlon, KT333 chipset mobo. I …
