I have a problem extracting files from floppy to specific location. File is in .RAR and is on floppy, along with RAR32 and EMX. After command: RAR32 X *.* files will extract - bot only to same location as .RAR file, since this is floppy disk [1,44] extraction process is stopped (because of full disk …

As soon as i clear space for other pc stuff i will test card in other motherboards. The mobo in fact have jumpers for color/monochrome mode, but changing it makes no difference. Well - the combination of pin removal and smonitor app gives satisfying results, so subject closed, thanks for the help …

Well, as TheMobRules point out, it is in fact 512KB card, Univbe confirms it [pic attached]. CRT is out of the question, my 'second half' forced me to remove them from the house [only 2 amiga crt's remained]. Thanks for the help guys, i decided to stay with Tseng card since in games performace is …

Here is my Trident pic. Date on Tseng chips and PCB suggest year 1992, date on Trident chips suggest year 92/93 and 94. Unfortunately my Trident is broken, it displays thin vertical lines every few pixels 😐

So i'm fighting with my 386 setup, last problematic hardware is graphics card [no color, but with help from vogons users here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=53697 i think i can mark this problem as solved. Another problem showed up, again graphics card. The problematic card is Tseng …

Closer and closer 😀 That smonitor app is great! Added it to autoexec, so now all DOS apps are in color, including DOS Navigator. Still the BIOS is monochrome only and for some reason Scandisk (?)

Weird 2.0 This time right pin was removed, there is still no color in BIOS and Dos Navigator BUT when i run Doom, color is back. WTF? Same with Windows 3.11 - the boot screen is in color, but Windows itself is black and white. Did fresh install, format c, etc. No change. What is wrong with this card …

Weird... so i've modded the cable, the pin 12 is out. Now there is no signal at all :| You removed pin 14 (v-sync), not pin 12. ._. OK, that was stupid :) I'm watching Hobbit (for the first time) with my left eye and with my right im screwing with the cables. Will try next cable, both eyes on the …

Weird... so i've modded the cable, the pin 12 is out. Now there is no signal at all 😐 On old cable everything forks fine [fine means 'no color'] BTW: my LCD is not that new, it's Samsung SM 510N, 4:3 monitor

You can cut the trace going to pin 12 of the VGA connector (doesn't matter where). That's what is used to switch the card into b/w mode. Modern monitors are using it for DDC instead, but anything apart from "not connected" will force the card to display b/w. Before i will put my knife to the card i …

I'm building my 386 PC, everything is going great, except for my graphics card. There is no color, only monochrome display. I know it is not driver related, because in BIOS there is no colour either, so it must be hardware, other cards works fine in color (tested on Trident TVGA9000C for example). I …

I have restored the Setup/Bios default settings [there were two options for that] - didn't help. Just bought few CR2032 holders, and will try the 'mod approach'.

Hey guys, just out of curiosity - is it common for socket 7 mobos to have fried CMOS battery charging circuit? I think my mobo might have this issue. The RTC modelu is "DALLAS DS12B887", during POST i get CMOS battery Error, so naturally i need new RTC module, got two from Aliexpress "ODIN …

I am curious what you use the USB card for? I have never had much use for one on a 486. I grab all files from the ethernet card, for mouse I use the PS/2 port, for printer drivers I use the ethernet (although not in the last few years), etc. Experiment. I'm trying to install XP on 486 CPU, I have …

Most people don't care about OpenGL or Direct3D on a 486. I used to be like you and insisted on a single graphic card solution for UM8881 motherboards, but gave in. Matrox G200 for D3D and Voodoo2 for Glide. If you are looking for a single card for this board, then the GF2 is the way to go. 21 fps …

21 fps is probably about right at 133 MHz. Try 160 MHz. My am5x86 won't go past 133, tried 160, black screen after first reboot. Can You sugest other good 1 slot PCI card with Opengl/Direct3D? I have only one slot empty, and S3 alone [without acceleration] is just too weak. I see from Your first …
