Re: PCI - IDE controller Windows NT 3.1 compatible

Thank you, It's as I guessed IDE, not even EIDE. Why are there no device descriptions? I can see PCIDEVS.txt is there, so there should be. For NT 3.1 I need a controller with it's own BIOS... Given you have W10 on the system I don't see why. Just use BCDEDIT to setup a {legacy} boot option that will …

a report from a NT 3.51 (no SP) running on a IBM 486 DX2/66 with 128MB Thank you, I am quite pleased to see SIV did the Save Local OK and in general worked! SIV32L has screen display issues that SIV32O does not on NT 3.51, so it's best to use SIV32O. I also spotted SIV32L V5.62 BIOS-01 Built Nov 20 …

I need a proper cooler for this 130W Q6850 Thank you, looking at the save file the Intel 82801GB (ICH7) PATA I/O Controller is the same as my 6321ESB so you just need to find a PCI to EIDE card with a Device Class of 0x01018A (EIDE Controller) and the stock NT 3.10 drivers should work. Is there a …

A fresh report attached. OK, I had not realised I had an old report! The VIA VT6421 is a RAID controller which means you will need a VIA driver, but with the G41/ICH9(?) I am guessing NT 3.10 used it's standard IDE driver, did it? May I have the SIV save files from the G41 system so I can see …

Is it reported as below? Yes, IDE. There may multiple flavours of IDE, which is why I asked "Is it reported as below?". If not post a screen shot of how it's reported if you wish me to try and help. Which motherboard do you have and does it have PCI slots or only PCIe ? I have an X470 with two PCI …

At a guess you configured the G41 SATA controller as IDE/EIDE rather then SATA in the BIOS, did you? Is it reported as below? Does your Ryzen 3900x motherboard offer this option? I suspect not as my ASUS Crosshair VIII Formula doesn't, it only allows SATA (AHCI) + RAID. Which motherboard do you have …

4gb is pretty pointless if running a 32bit OS, since you will only ever get 3.5gb of it due to how Windows maps out Video memory Yea I know about the weird hacks that let you get 4+gb under a 32bit os but who the fuck wants to bother with that shit for a gaming rig. Just run 2003 Enterprise Server …

Looking at the RDRAM SPD spec the density does not seem to be even included! What happens if you install two RIMMs, does the system post? Does Windows boot? What if you limit the memory to 1GB (/maxmem=1024)?

am sure it is a nv G70. Nah, I have that card with G71. I suspect there are both G70 and G71 versions of the card, just because you have the G71 variant does not mean that all are G71. Given the BIOS contains either G70 or G71 post the BIOSes from your cards so we can see what they contains. The …

8400gs Sorry I read the label again. I actually heard bad stuff about the AGP version of my gpu Your 8400 GS is a Tesla G98 and AFAIK there are no Tesla AGP GPUs at all. Further I expect it's not even native PCI and is PCIe connected via a PLX PEX 8112 x1 Lane PCI to PCIe Bridge. https://www.vogons …

WinXP; the latter has up to 307.83. Vista and later have GeForce 309.08 Driver from February 24, 2015 and if you look at the screen shots I posted they show I am running 309.08 on W7 W2K is strange, how can later drivers have a lower version number?
