The 503+ is a great board. As for the Rage 128 card, mine does not work well below 98SE. Wish I could help but never figured it out. added: also have a Rage 3d II that has driver issues. I think back then ATI just wrote crappy drivers as I remember they had to release a new one with every new game …

It …

Sometimes they still get set as system files, did you try opening them with notepad using the run menu? Such as notepad X:\autoexec.bat Where X is the drive letter? This ofc won't show it but it's enough to edit, I'm not sure how Windows 10 handles things but in 98-7 you need to tell it to show …

The safest way to flash bioses on these old boards is to get yourself an eprom programmer, some chips, and a UV eraser if needed. That way you can flash bioses to Your hearts content and see what happens, then revert to the original IC if you run into problems. That sounds great for this purpose …

I recently received this board in fully working condition, but the BIOS doesn't support drives ~40gb, and just refuses to boot with them It's a 1998 board, so I'd expect the BIOS to support it. A few websites gave me information for 1.01 rev boards, but never 1.20. I found these BIOS files: https:// …
