Got a Presario 4840 to mess around with. It's a '97 model with a P2, Windows 95, and has the front panel composite video input connectors. I wanted to test the recording feature so using the built-in Intel Video Capture software that came with the original OS install I tried first with a 240p source …

I've wanted the same for some time but looking online no one seems to have them 😒

Any suggestions then other than re-capping? And perhaps an answer if I should re-cap the entire card or just parts?

FYI these were actually really hard to find but there is a FB group that runs a server with old Packard Bell files. Finally I got them and am attaching here for future readers that can't find the SOUND144 folder with the install files. You mind sharing the Facebook group details? Might actually be …

Drivers for the SOUND144AM can be found on various Packard Bell Master CDs. Hardware resources are soft configured by a DOS program. Windows 9x comes with the drivers and will auto detect the card. Downloaded a PB Master CD and it had the SOUND144AM folder on it. Uploaded it to my google drive. …

Finding drivers these days for these Multimedia Pro cards is quite difficult, since Packard Bell no longer host these on their server, nor does Aztech Labs. However, I've been able to track down various drivers over the years from other sources. Unfortunately, in the case of this model (I38-MMSN837 …

What sound configuration do you have those games at? Both these games have in common that they don't have any options to setup the soundcard. You just select soundblaster. There is no dialog to enter IO, IRQ & DMA. As I've mentioned before: Keen4 and Stunts only use AdLib/FM synth for sound/music, …

I have an old AZTech 2316 I38-MMSN834 card from a Packard Bell which they refer to as the "Rocky" series of cards and Windows 95 detected as the "Sound Galaxy Washington 16". It's a non P&P ISA card so I was able to source the drivers and install those. FYI these were actually really hard to find …

I checked the HW revision on my installed DFE-530TX+es, and they are HW Rev. D2 as well. I am attaching the D-Link driver package that I use. I downloaded this directly from D-Link in Sept. 2004. So if these drivers don't work, then as MERCURY127 suggested, you probably have a hardware failure of …

x[y:z] mark signal ranges, i.e the AD[31:0] refers to all AD lines between and including 31 and 0. The brownish colored parts are capacitors and you won't really know their value unless you measure them. Usually they are 0.1µF. Thanks for the help. Looks like a multimeter and a magnifying glass …

Any other electrical engineers have any input? If not how about this question, there are some surface mount resistors on the board that have a color on them but no text. How can I tell what values these are?

The documentation just seems to be barebones, end user copy, and nothing so advanced as to facilitate manual upgrades using additional components. Thanks for confirming. Any idea what the [number:number] mean in the Intel 430VXPCIset Design Guide (June 1997)? I see for example AD[31:0] on the …

Well, you have the same URL there twice, and the L2 Cache section just mentions the variants available. Macro photos of the modified board would at least let you see the traces and components between chips, if nothing goes diving under or within the motherboard. For instance "resistor with value X …

As an electronic engineer, I understand the concepts, but my question is, "is it worth the time and effort"? Either way, I believe the first step would be to check the data sheets for the chips(s) being added, to at least see what the expected voltage levels would be for each input, and compare …

I found an old post where a user was able to manually solder cache onto an OEM Intel NV430VX here: http://www.oocities.org/sjg/upgrade/cache.html Besides the chips, he had to add several resistors as he documented here: R1E4 (22 ohm) -clock feed, series termination C1E6 (4.7pf to 22pf) -EMI reducing …
