This is probably OT, but the WD90C31 is backwards compatible with the WD90C00 and the original Paradise VGA (PVGA1A/ PVGA1B etc). :) Because of this, backwards compatibility goes way down to '87 software titles. It's Super VGA mode (800x800) is supported by several early titles, like those games …

Indeed for 1024x768 you are limited to 256colors but the Speedstar24X has a true color DAC , notice the supported resolutions of the win3.1 driver's INF (ofcourse 16 and 256 color modes exist - and it is true the vast majority of WDC cards only have an 8bit color DAC) p32k480 = a:p32k480.drv, " …

I'm a real n00b with video cards, but I have a Diamond Speedstar 24x that I found. I would like to run Windows 3.1 with it. I'm hoping it's good enough to give me 1024x768 with a decent refresh rate. I tried looking on Vogons for drivers, but I only see Speedstar, but not Speedstar 24x. Any help …

Yeah, I would imagine these are frequently available on Ebay, cheap, from China, with probably better shipping rates than I can get from the US. If you don't find what you need, or just want something tried and tested, PM me with your address and I'll figure out what it would cost to send you one. …

I have IS61C1024-15N in mine. I remember reading something about the IS61C1024-10N and I wasn’t sure if those were real or not, so I went with the -15N. I ordered mine from China four or five years ago.

Did you double check your cache jumper settings to make sure the cache matches those settings. I know mine will exhibit the same behavior if those settings are wrong. Can you take a picture like I did and post it? Lots of eyes are better than just two.

I’m using a Gotek USB floppy drive. The software I’m using is the ipcas Batch manager Tool V1.40. When I try writing floppy images using this software it doesn’t save the floppy drive label from the image. On the first disk I can sometimes get it to save, but any disk after that it will just make …

Thanks everyone for your help. It was the JP5 and JP6 positions. It should have been set to 1-2 like BastlerMike said. Everything works now. 😀

It has the latest BIOS 402.001 and it detects the CPU and reports it just fine.

I have an Asus 486SV2GX4 with an AMD Am5x86-P75 and I can’t seem to get the L2 cache to work when I enable write back cache on the CPU. When I enable write back cache on the CPU system boots until it gets to the “Starting MS-DOS” screen and then freezes. The BIOS does detect the cache. If I disable …

I pretty much went with that it’s a dead card. I guess I’ll be in search of another one. 😀

I have an OEC12B887A and I was wondering if this would work as a replacement for that. I can’t find a datasheet on the OEC so I don’t know how interchangeable they are with a Dallas RTC. Edit: To answer my own question, I desoldered the OEC12B887A from my motherboard and on the silk screen it showed …

Yes, that's what I'm getting. I tried looking for bent pins and missing parts and couldn't see anything.

I have a Voodoo 2 card that when it’s booting the BIOS detects it and says the IRQ is NA. When Windows 98 boots it detects a multimedia device and asks me for drivers. I install the drivers and it lists the card in Device Manager properly. Except when I go into display properties it says, “Voodoo 2 …

Hate to dig up such an old thread, but I think I have a copy of what you're looking for. The disk I have is the "MEDIAXL" and has a setup.exe for Windows. I think it works with Windows 3.1, but I haven't tested it yet. I would PM, but I don't have enough participation points. I guess I shouldn't …

Are there any system utilities out there for Windows 98 worth getting? Only one I'm aware of is from Norton but don't recall if it was of any use or not. I'm not talking about anti-virus stuff as the pc isn't connected to the internet, just "pc optimizing" utilities or whatnot. Good God, no! I take …
