I tried another version of the BIOS, it was an Evaluation version. Mouse can be used now, but the result is the same as my original one. So sad!

maybe that chipset only allows one common configuration for all IRQ/INT lines? This is very informative, thanks! ... and the video card is not actually needing any IRQ/INT line? Yes, you are right. The video card doesn't really need an IRQ. There is option in BIOS called "Assign IRQ For VGA". When …

I have a Pentium I retro PC. The specs is as follows: 1.JPG The mainboard has 3 ISA slots and 2 PCI slots. I want to use 4 of them (2 ISAs, 2 PCIs). The 2 PCI slots are limited to IRQ 10-11, no other channel can be assigned to them. Here is the issue: IRQ11 cannot be used by either the NIC or the …

Do you try hwset.exe? Is it DOS or Win app? Changed I/O port in hwset.exe, restarted and run Windemo.exe directly from your install folder, then the error "WINVDMAD.386 not installed!" appeared. I think it should be installed via Setup.exe. Oh, it's a Win app by the way. This is from the readme …

NO command prompt INSIDE Windows! Only pure DOS-mode. Press F8 before the Windows starts and launch system in COMMAND PROMPT ONLY! Maybe there some drivers/memory managers installation needed. Testing it inside Windows is just for monitoring the CPU usage easily. I've mentioned in the previous post …

All I can say - try it in pure DOS-mode or in Win3.1 (there .INI configuration file maybe it needs to configure it with other then default setting). Many years ago I install OTHER MPEG card that way - DOS part works perfectly while Win part don work (or give me just color artifacts). I've tried …

I see only DOS-based dosv18 files and Win 3.x 386,DRV, DLL files in archive. Sorry no INF,VXD files for Win 95. That would be why it's invisible to Windows Device Manager. The card can only be used with sort of MSDOS compatible mode in Windows. I've edited the previous post to upload a new file …

Not entirely sure if relevant, but either of you care to give the attached files a closer look... It doesn't work. When I hit play button in Media Player using this Device , it either doesn't respond or freeze. The big problem is that the card cannot be seen in Device Manager, Windows cannot find …

I've found the Manufacturer of your card via the FCC ID: https://fccid.io/IPL AESL Technology Inc It seems that AESL is directly connected to Acer. At least they are listed as secondary contact to AESL on FCC sites. Acer had Soundcards, like the "Magic S23", so the V in "Magic V1" probably stands …

Problem solved!!! The head is indeed misaligned. I calibrated it using ImageDisk by following the steps in this video and it worked! The long story: I've ordered an USB floppy drive online. The new drive read out about half of my diskettes, but it could only list the files. There was only one …

I have a lot of old floppy disks that I want to read data from. However, none of them can be read successfully by my floppy drive. In Win98, it says that my floppy has not formatted and suggests me to format now. In MSDOS (entering by press F8 when booting then choose Command Prompt Only entry), it …

I've searched around for the ADSP-2105 audio dsp chip. It's the same DSP as on the "Reelmagic" MPEG decoder cards. In this russian forum in 2015 a card isa - "magic v1" fullmotion video accelerator - winbond w9920a-1, ad adsp-2105 was sold. So it had the same chip configuration: https://www.phantom …
