I tried that but sadly it made no difference, guess I'll just have to try and get another card since I can't really think of anything else to check (the caps would probably explode if they gave way while powered on). Thanks nonetheless.

Hi, recently I've finally gotten a 486 motherboard with VLB slots, I had to fix it up a little (solder a new bios chip and reconnect a couple of broken traces, it works now and shouldn't be the problem). I got a Cirrus Logic Gd5426 to try out the VLB capabilities of the system, at first it booted …

for windows i treat it just like a voodoo 2 and if i wanted a game to use it instead of the v3 id copy the v1 driver dll to the game folder. Can you just do that?

I was wondering about upgrades for my Win98 machine. I'm currently using a standard 30GB IDE hard drive. My options are a SATA SSD or a SCSI HD, I could also just leave it as it is.
