Hi PlaneVuki, I was attempting the same thing as you and found no driver for Windows 98 that worked at first. I did manage to find one. The Analog Devices Soundmax version 5.12.01.3920 works with the Compaq Evo N1020v. I found it on Driverguide. It is called sp27092.exe or q2aud02us13.exe i think. …

Even if they didn't read the comments: Those people do not understand that an open standard that allowed for add on cards and various upgrades (including the mainboard in the case!) played a big part in making IBM's PC a smashing success. It is normal to modify and upgrade your PC. You were …

That system looks awesome seriously great job!!! Don't worry about all the people hating your system people will always find away to complain about something. I do have a question how's the temperatures in that case? Thx :) I know I shouldn't worry about it too much, but they caught me off guard …

You do have a point actually. The first build was a P1 and there the Gotek did make more sense. But messing with old images is fun and a quick switch to another OS with a boot disk image or a simple file transfer is easy with a Gotek. I use the rig to fix other rigs in my lab. (Prepare HDD's or test …

Hi thx! Well, some people/communities seem to think i destroyed a vintage computer to do this. They either didn't read my comments or they're just hating. The Gotek does look out of place, but is very practical. I'm a practical guy. ;) I do have a 5,25" inch floppy drive, but since I don't use that …

Hi Guys, Posted this on reddit a few days ago and got pretty mixed reactions, some of you probably saw it. This is a sleeper build I did over the course of 4 years and just been adding to it up until this point. Case is not from an original 5170 but a clone I made look like one. Display is not IBM …

Your conclusion is interesting. I had tried cleaning the Voodoo2 card's contacts already but the problem continued on. I bought another NIB of the same card and I've used it countless times without issue. I felt the issue was probably due to a marginal contact of an IC on the PCB of the Voodoo2, …

Well, I will bump up this old topic one last time, as I have discovered the reason for the problem. The issue results from a bad connection between the pci-slot and the boards themselves. The case I used apparently places the Voodoo 2 boards at a slight angle (almost invisible) in the PCI-slot which …

Hi, I think I may be on to something here. I suspect the Bios-battery is failing on my board. Yesterday, I reseated the boards in the machine (cleaned the pci contacts) and all was good the entire day. A few reboots, a few shutdowns, no issue whatsoever. When I came back this morning, I booted and …

Hi, I'm building a retro gaming PC and I ran into the same problem as described in this post. After first installation of Windows 98 my Voodoo 2 SLI setup was working fine. After testing a few games and restarting it a bunch of times, the cards weren't visible in Dxdiag (Display 2 tab is gone). They …
